Donating YT 500 Club Member | How often do you groom your babies? I must admit, the "hairstylist" in me will come out in this post. Hahaha... I recently gave Taycie the Zhoie and Joey haircut about 2 weeks ago. Personally, I love the clean cut look when they first get cut and they look so sharp So yesterday before bath time, Yes, I know its only been two weeks... so I recut just a little, and it looks once again AWESOME.. (if I do say so myself) I just LOVE when it looks freshly cut and they have have been to the spa. I am shocked at how FAST it truly grows! When I don't cut it, I bathe every Sunday and sometimes sooner if she really needs it. I clean ears weekly, and I usually can tell when her anal glands need done so I do this when necessary. My vet showed me how to do it I wash her face morning and night and brush her teeth also morning and night. With this cut, all I really have to brush is her little face and legs. I also do this am and pm. Somedays I redo her topknot it feels like 10 times a day. When she plays hard, usually. The only thing that I struggle with is nails, which I am planning on taking her in for. She HATES it and I get too nervous I might cut to much. I know It might be a little crazy, but I just love doating on her any way I can

| I just recently did the Zhoie/Joey cut too. I had to give my guys a once over after about 4 weeks. They were getting wooly I do topknots morning and night and teeth daily. We get baths once a week. I love this hairstyle too, it is just so easy to maintain

| Mine go to the groomer every 6 weeks. I do bathes at home every 2 weeks, when I bathe them they also get their face trimmed a little and maybe their feet if they need it. Teeth get done every day, brushing gets done weekly at least.

Thor's Human Donating Member | I do a bit of grooming every night. I brush Thor's teeth, clip just one toe nail, brush him, and usually cut a bit of his hair. I don't do a particularly good job on the hair. I want to take him to a groomer again once I get his nose hair fully grown out. Thor pretty much never gets ear wax, and doesn't need his anal glands expressed. We're both lucky there. Usually I only bathe him once per month! It's a bit gross, but he hates baths so much, I feel bad doing them more frequently.

| ZoE gets her teeth brushed every night before bed. She gets a bath once a week and has a sanitary & footpad hair trimmed them. I cut her nails after her bath and lightly file them. She gets brushed every morning and her topknot fixed at that time. I love the traditional long haired yorkie look, so there's no other trimming involved as I'm trying to grow her hair long....it seems so slow growing.

| Princess gets a weekly bath. I'm trying to brush her every night just to provide some bonding & relaxing time for her. I do a loose top knot once a week & usually don't have to fix it unless I use a barrette, then it messes up. Since she's cut short to start the summer I think I will let it grow from here on out & see what we get. I'll do sanitary, feet & maybe ears. I'm still trying to make teeth brushing a regular, less traumatic thing. The vet will be doing her nails.

| Sophie has the Zhoie/Joey cut. Somehow we get by with going to the groomers every 7-8 weeks. Her body grows some, but not enough to look bad. Of course I just LOVE the freshley groomed look. She went again today and I opted for a little shorter on her face, and I LOVE it!!! So easy to maintain. She gets a weekly bath and her topknot redone whenever it starts looking nappy

| Mine get brushed and bathed once every week. Hair trims and nails are done once a month and about every 3 months I scale their teeth so they stay nice and white. A quick brushing and the topknot is done whenever needed.

| Trim weekly and cut every two weeks Emee gets a bath every Saturday with a nail trim. Every other week I do a full cut and trim. By doing it every 2 weeks, it doesn't take much time and stays looking nice and clean. It is amazing how fast Emee's hair grows. I too wash her face morning and night with a fresh top knot. I love the time spent taking care of her.

| I don't have a "set" schedule for grooming really. Approx. every 10-12 weeks he gets professionally groomed by the mobile groomer. He gets cut pretty short so luckily it lasts a while. I would prefer every 6-8 weeks but it costs too much and at the end of the 10-12 weeks, he's really not THAT bad... I just, like you, prefer a neat clean look, LOL. Bath is about once every 7-10 days. Teeth brushing is the same, I typically do that in the bath (and use Plaqueoff daily, and petzlife once or twice a week). Nail clipping is something we just started. I have been aiming for 1-2 nails every other night or so... taking it slow since he hates it so bad. Brushing is practically never... I just do his face and tail every few days or so.
