twice a year?! I think that would only pertain to cats!

I believe if it's a young puppy, no more than every 2 weeks. After that, whatever *you* think they need it. Uni gets one every sunday night, after we get home from the park. SOMETIMES we can stretch it for a week and a half, but she has a bit of the runny eyes, so thats the worst of it.... crusty face.

I bathe Zoe once a week. If I don't, her coat begins to look like a little ragamuffin!

Once a week for Pistol too. Every Sunday.

I give Fancy a bath about every 4 days.

Only 2 baths a year would be gross! There is noway I could do that, Ewww!!

Ella gets a bath every Sunday. If she goes outside or to the park and gets dirty she may get 2 baths a week, but that's rare. =]

Winston goes to the groomer and gets a bath & trim every 6 weeks. I usually bathe him twice in between grooming appointments. I keep him in a puppy cut so it is quite easy to keep him clean.

[florencelisa]

Same here, once every 5-7 days. My yorkies are pretty easy to bathe, which I'm so glad about. I use in between bath wipes also and brush their hair everyday. I finish each bath with a treat so they know to be good during bathing!

[LilMissy]

My girls are bathed once a week. If I go even a couple days longer than that, they are total stinkbombs LOL!

[bellanrocco]

I bathe mine once a week, sometimes more..like when they get super dirty during walks or step in or around some irresponsible owner's dog poop.

Yeah, the crusty face is what usually signals the time for a bath. If it weren't for Rio's crusty beard, we would probably go longer between baths. Or if poop gets stuck in her long hair! So it usually ends up about every 6-7 days.
