How often do you wash your yorkie? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Reesee's mom · 03-22-2007, 08:56 AM

This is so good to know, I had heard no more than once a month but she gets her head really greasy so I am glad there are yorkies out there getting baths once a week and they are nice, healthy, and clean!

Sunday like clockwork. If they need it before due to some unforseen issue (mud slinging) then it will be before then.

Once every 4-5 days and they go to the groomers once every two weeks to get their hair trimmed up and nails clipped.

Every other Saturday. Buddy holds up very well

He smells yummy all the time . I wipe his feet off after
each walk also because he's up on the furniture.
Other than that there is no way of him getting dirty.
He's coat is more dry on the second week but never
oily.

My three get washed once a week, unless I am going visiting with them....then they get spruced up if they haven't been washed for 3 days or more, or unless we have been in woods (twigs, mud and lychin in coat) or on the beach !(all that awful sand ruins their coat.)
My two girlies are long-haired to the ground, and my wee male has also been long, but lately has been clipped short as he's bad for peeing on his curtains....so it was better to chop them off than continually washing his legs, etc, every time he was out for the toilet !!!

I started out bathing them every week, now I let them go almost 2 weeks.

Rae Rae · 03-22-2007, 06:05 PM

Rocky gets a bath every weekend, fri, sat or sun depending on my work schedule.

Bailey gets bathed every 2-3 weeks.....a month being the max....Bailey is a "indoor" baby he never goes outside and if he does its in his stroller

Lucy gets bathed once a week, and goes to the groomers once a month.

Every 5 to 7 days...there is no way he could go longer...or I guess I should say, I will not let him go more than 5 to 7 days without a bath. This is just me....I am all about keeping him nice and clean.

Sherryabear · 04-08-2007, 03:49 PM

Once a week.....

sexiixtc · 04-08-2007, 03:53 PM

every week here.. we do it on fridays as I'm almost always off.. but If I can't do it on a friday.. it's sundays

Potter · 04-08-2007, 04:04 PM

Started out once a week. Now its once every 2 weeks. I do wipe him with baby wipes and wash his feet after every walk and clean his eyes and pee/poo area daily.

I find that bathing him weekly makes him too dry eventhough I do use Emu Oil. Once every 2 weeks is just nice for him.
