| I bathe mine about every 4 days. My vet said it was fine as long as you get all the soap out. It irritates and dries the skin if you don't.

| All 3 of mine get a bath once a week. We have a regular routine and do this every Saturday morning. If I go two weeks, then their coats start to look pretty dirty.

| We do every Tuesday after daycare. Sometimes it's more like if they got really dirty at the dogpark, but in the winter I try to go every 2 weeks between baths. |

| Couver gets bathed about once a week. I sometimes try to hold out longer if I feel he isn't too dirty. The longest I've gone is 2 weeks... he starts to get gross at that point.

| Yorkies don't have undercoats. Their coats are similar to human hair. The shed, but not like other dogs that have undercoats. I give Jack a bath usually every Saturday. I have not gone longer than 2 weeks.

| Once a week for my guys. Just use a good quality shampoo and conditioner and then bathing them often will not be a problem. Nothing like a freshly bathed yorkie.
