| What do you use to wash with? We got our yorkie from my husband's uncle. He told us that he bathed Mufasa in Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo so that's what I've done. Should I be bathing him in something different? |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Lots of people use it with no ill effects, but I highly recommend using a shampoo meant for dogs. Dogs have a different PH than humans and protects that are gentle to human skin, aren't necessarily gentle to a dog's skin. Sometimes skin problem don't show up until the symptoms gets really bad, and can be hard to treat. I would definitely be on the lookout for any scratching. The main thing with any shampoo you choose to use, rinse well, and follow with a conditioner.

| We use Petsilk moisturizing shampoo and Rainforest conditioner, its great! She smells really good for a few days. The key is let the product sit for a couple of minutes.

| Mink sheen I use mink sheen. I love it and love the way it smells. I know some people think it stinks tho'. I do use baby shampoo on the face/head because it is no tears!

| We wash my little guy with Cloud Star Buddy Rinse, It smells wonderful and he has a crazy coat so we also use a lavander spray from the same line. We wash my little girl with Paul Mitchell Oatmeal for dogs. She has a super silky coat and it keeps her looking perfect and her skin looks great. Both are great products and I have even used them myself to make sure

| I've tried countless shampoos but either I didn't care for the smell or they were too harsh for my gang - am now alternating between the doggie soap bar from Misty Mountain Soap and a lavender liquid doggie shampoo from a lavender farm in Maui, Hawaii

YT 1000 Club Member | I got KiKi's shampoo at Pet Smart and I forget what it is called...but it has a Yorkie on the front of the bottle and it is tearless...I also use Arm & Hammer Conditioner - the green label (leave in) that you mix 1 part conditioner to 7 parts water....OMG this stuff smells great! and it lasts!! So far she has not had any itching problems with these.

| I generally use SheaPet shea butter shampoo and conditioner but I recently started using homemade fluffy puppy pooch soap from a local woman in Pittsburgh. It's made with tea tree and lavender. I LOVE it! I don't even need to use conditioner when I use it on Max and Abbie. They smell so fresh and look so clean after bath time.

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | I use Tropiclean shampoo and conditioner, I love the smell and how it lathers up. After I have bathed mine, I towel dry them and put silk spirits protein serum in there hair. This leaves there hair incredibly soft and silky and easy to brush. I LOVE this stuff and have no idea what i would do without it! |

| I've tried a few different shampoos but my favorite is Buddy Wash and Buddy Rinse. The shampoo spreads and lathers really good and the smell is wonderful. I also use the Buddy Spray On Conditioner before daily brushing and she smells wonderful up till the next bath the next week. |

| Do you let them air dry or do you blow them dry? My little man loves the blow dryer every mornig when I dry my hair he sits there and waits until I sim it at him. Crazy.
