How often do you bath your Yorkie? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

You know I just think some of them have different ( smelly) smells, lol...OUt of our five...Yogi used to be the one that I could bathe once a week and two days out..he would start stinking again...well, since little Suki (his daughter) came alone, she's the same way! Her little 2 1/2 lb body is stinky too after 2-3 days goes by after her bath...They are the only two that do that..I too have tried different shampoos, baby wipes ect. and they just smell not so fresh way before they are "due" to be bathed again...They are clean, just stinky...The rest of them smell great... Bogus and Dori have vanilla smells to them lol..I don't know but, I am going to try the neutrogena bath oil rinse on them also...and see if this takes them a little longer...

I also have a beautiful Yorkie to which I can bathe her and she loves to go onto the porch with me to sit in the swing, and after I have just bathed her, she has this musky odor like an old dog to whom has been outside for months and has gotten wet. When she is in the house she doesn't have this smell. I dunno what is causing it. It doesn't matter if it is hot, ice cold, or warm outside, she still gives off this odor. One thing I have founf that does help is, as soon as she comes back into the house, take a new dryer sheet and rub onto her hair and it stops the odor for a short while. Like you I am also stumped at this delema.

lol, I think it's the teeth.
Ellie doesn't stink (unless she walks in her pee

).
We do a whole bunch for her teeth though or I'm sure that would be an issue.

Jack try to bath him 3-4 days we walk and he plays outside so he smells and he has long coat he pee's on himself rather on belly-band or just around the yard. He gets belly baths everyday.

Bella, same, she goes walking and smells.

I use Pet silk.

I usually use 8 in 1 Perfect Coat Tearless Shampoo for puppies (baby powder scent) and 8 in 1 Perfect Coat Moisturizing conditioning rinse for dogs.

In between baths I usually use Crazy Dog Baby Dog Baby Powder Scented Grooming Spray for Puppies & Dogs. This Grooming spray smells great and leaves Luc smelling very fresh.

u know the petco brand baby wipes are reallly good

I bath Jasmine every week now. She is 14 weeks old. I bath her in the bathroom sink. I let the faucet run at a low stream and she loves to stand under it, like a little shower for her. LOL She really loves to sit in front of the blow dryer on my lap with the dryer on low. She also loves to be combed. I think she just likes to be pampered!

I give Keyra a bath weekly just because she loves grass and we own a garage so she is always running around and the dust and grease it just too icky but she loves her bath time anyways. I use a wild cherry spray conditioner on her to freshen up and she smells great till the following week but I also use a light spray coconut oil on her hair and I use a tiny bit. It smells great for a long time and it keeps her coat so shiny and not heavy. She has the itchy's less when I use the oil as well. She never really stinks. She just has that puppy smell lol

I have an automatic reminder in my calendar to bathe Enzie every Saturday (I change sheets on the bed and bathe him the same day, he-he. Would not surprise anyone here if I say that Enzie sleeps on our pillows).
He does not really smell bad but his hair gets greasy and lacks fluffiness by the end of each week.
