| My yorkie had really dry skin and his hair was really thin and stringy, I was bathing him once a week. My vet told me that was entirely to often unless he gets dirty I should only bathe him once every 3 to 4 weeks since I've cut down on bathing him his coat is much fuller and his skin is not near as dry. |

I think it depends on the dog. My boys would be a disaster if I let them go more than 10 days without a bath. They are in full coat. Their coats and skin were drying out recently, so I started them on a fish oil supplement that cured the problem. There are so many variables when it comes to healthy skin and coat: diet first and foremost, grooming products (conditioner is a must for us), activity and so on.

| I bath once a week as Ellington really needs it. I only shampoo, don't use a separate conditioner, as I use a conditioning oatmeal shampoo (for itchy skins). It leaves him fluffy and clean. As he works with me at my hair salon, his hair gets quite greasy. |
