How often do you bathe your babies?

[cley]

I got Yorkie Splash and Yorkie Shine last week and I liked it so much that I went ahead and orders more. GREAT STUFF

[Mitzis Mom]

Mine get a bath whenever they need one. Since they are outside a lot and love digging their way to China they need it about once a week. Maggie gets a bath more often b/c of her allergies. I wished I were so lucky to have to bath them only every 2 or 3 months!!!!!

[simpleplan]

I give him a bath everytime he poops and accidentally gets it on him or pees and steps in it..usually cause the puppy pad moves. So basically atleast once every 3 days. I found a great conditioner too that keeps him moisturized and coat soo soft. We just really need to keep him clean caause he's on our beds often and we kiss him a lot!

I wish I had the luxury of bathing so infrequently! I usually bathe mine about every 8-14 days otherwise she starts to get smelly and greasy. Sometimes I do an "express bath" - which is where I just wash her feet and face since those are what get dirty/start to smell first! If I do that I can extend the days inbetween baths.

I use to have a problem with My Rosie getting greasy and would bathe her weekly, until I took her to the vet because none of the other ones never had greasy hair. The vet said that greasy hair is a sign of something, Sure enough she had whip worm. she was treated alsong with all of the others and no more greasy hair. If they smell at all I would bathe them more often but they don't.

Hey Brenda,
As we spoke about, I try to bathe mine every 2 weeks. With them being almost 5lbs each they tend to get wet all the time during our a.m. walks and whenever the grass is wet from the rain. 2 weeks is just about te time they start to get a little ripe. Although they are going on 3 weeks right now and they definitely are ready-mom has just been too lazy. Lol

My guys are in full coat, every 7 to 14 days during the summer, depending on what the "rollinthegroundflavoroftheday" is
During the winter, we'll sometimes go three weeks so their coats don't get dried out from the washing.

[Vinniedoggy]

I bathe Vinnie about once each week, more if needed. I do this mainly because he sleeps in our bed, so it's probably more for our health than his. I use a mild natural oatmeal & honey shampoo that I get at my local natural dog store. I don't use conditioner on him, just shampoo. Sometimes in the winter I wash him a little less to prevent his skin from getting dry.

[Tinksmygirl]

Tink get a bath at least once a week. I like her to smell good and she seems to enjoy being clean.

[VioletGabrielle]

Violet seems to be making quite a few messes so far. We have been bathing about every three days. I hope it isn't too much!

[Kaligirl]

I also bathe Kali girl once every week to 2 weeks. She goes outside and plays with my Rottweiler and gets stinky. So I cannot stand It very long she is to much of a diva.

[cally930]

Every week - 2 the most. Mine are indoor dogs too and I love it when they smell good. They seem to love feeling clean also. But hen again, I only have two. If I had 6 I would probably think about it - but like everyone else said - if it works for you and you and they are happy - why change it.

[Beamers Mom]

Beamer gets bathed once a week. Lil Bit gets bathed when she needs it, she spends most of the time indoors, and doesn't roll in the grass like Beamer does.

I have ask two different vets and they say the same thing. All my girls and my two other babies are indoors dogs.They do go out every day several times a day but only to potty. They normally do not smell except for when they first come indoors and that smell seems to go away once they cool down in the air condition house. I have always only bathed them maybe once every 2 to 3 months.They do not smell bad in between baths, because if they did I would give them a bath. I brush them every day and have all 5 professinally groomed every month. But I do not have her bathe them. It saves me about $20.00 per dog. Should I be bathing them more often? Even if they do not smell. They do not have oily or dry hair.Just soft normal hair. I always have used J.J. baby shampoo and I use a wash cloth on there face and belly. It seems to work well and they all smell like little babies, like they are. I just do not know if I am making a mistake by bathing them less frequently. Or by using Baby shampoo. I did have a problem with my Rosie, her hair seemed oily, so I took her to the vet.She said that sometimes it is a sign of a parasite, she did a stool sample and she had whip worms . Once she was treated, and all of the others as well. Her hair was soft and wonderful looking again. But I would bathe her every few days until I figured something must have been wrong. I would appreciate any info on this. Thanks.
