Bathing?? Pippin is 18 months old and I bath him once every two weeks but lately it's been a little more often like once a week just because there is so much dust around our house because it's considered a construction zone. Pippin has a fenced in back yard that he can play in with grass but sometimes he comes in dusty and full of sand and smelling like dirt. My question is is it okay to bath him more often when he smells like dirt and is all dusty? |
I bathe our yorkies once a week, juse make sure you use a good shampoo and conditioner so thier skin does not get dried out. We really like Buddy Wash |
I bathe my girls once a week. But in the winter, every 2 weeks. |
Right now I'm using Johnsons Baby Shampoo on Pippin. It leaves his coat feeling silky and his skin does not feel dry at all. I don't use a conditioner on him, my local pet store didn't have any the last time I was down there and I haven't checked WalMart. I was just worried that I was bathing him too much because with all the dust and dirt outside sometimes he comes in reeking like a dog and I can't stand it. Do your Yorkies like bath time? Pippin loves it he plays with his rubber ducky until the very last drop of water has been drained from the tub. |
I don't have a tub so I use the shower, and they don't like it too much... they don't like being blow dried either:rolleyes: But they do like to smell good after all that "torture":p |
If you're worried about bathing him too often, you can always get one of those dry/no rinse shampoos. You just spray it on them and towel dry. I got a Petsilk one from go.fetch™ but she's currently sold out of it. Also, if you want help with the smell, I highly recommend Petsilk colognes. The scent stays on them for sooo long! I have the French Vanilla one and he still smells yummy after 7 days! |

Mine basically just hold still through it. It is a time I can do about anything including trimming thier nails. So they don't love it or hate it, but they let me get it done which is all that matters!! |
Bathing?? 1 Attachment(s) Is there anyone out there who has hints on getting Gucci to "like" his bath time? I've tried everything I can but he is almost frantic when it's time for his bath. :eek: If he could, he'd fly! His little legs work the whole time we're lathering up, and even more so when it's rinse time. I've tried the spray hose, gently pouring water over him, and simply scooping water from the sink and rinsing. Nothing works. He still shakes like we're killing him! He's barely 3# at 19 weeks. I thought that starting him early would make a difference, but I've been bathing him since he was 7 weeks and it has not improved. Has anyone had success with the shower? He's scoped me out when I'm in the shower, so I was thinking of trying that. |
Pippin didn't like the bath at first. He was 3 months old when I gave him his first bath and he hated it.. but after one day playing in the yard with the hose and getting soaking wet he realized that he likes the water and now he loves bath time. |
