A good face washing - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Do you wash faces often? How do you do it? A little baby soap or shampoo on a rag.

Marilize · 05-05-2007, 01:27 AM

Yes, that is exactly how I do it. I do it every couple of days because my boy is a very messy little guy. I should actually do it after every meal.

I wash Bella's face ever other night...with a little baby shampoo, then we brush her teeth. She knows the routine.

Ozzie's face -- and the rest of him -- get wiped down every night with bath wash and a warm rag. Gets combed and powdered afterward.

Also, he gets his face wiped throughout the day, too. Another messy boy.

Powdered?

Isn't it a bad idea to bathe them every day?

Same here.................every morning after breakfast w/ alittle j & j baby shampoo on a wash cloth.

Ozzie'sperson · 05-10-2007, 07:16 AM

We don't BATHE him everyday, but he has to at least get wiped off or else he gets VERY tangled.

Just gets a good wiping down with particular attention paid to his face, feet and nether regions. Then he gets a light dusting of baby powder and a good brushing.

Besides, he sleeps in my bed and I don't want a smelly dog pressed up against me all night.

We use foaming waterless shampoo by Paul Mitchell for dogs on a baby wipe. It takes care of business and does not require water splashing afterwards that she does not like very much.

Ours aren't out in the yard so I wipe them with a warm wash cloth evey night, brushed good and combed if neccessary, their bottoms get washed with shampoo every couple days also keep them neatly trimmed, almost too much so

I kinda overdo it on that but thats my preference. Dollie is so small I had a hard time tonight trimming her and her tail wouldn't cooperate, wow she is a handful when it comes to grooming. Baby Blessing just sits so nice to get bathed, and through being blow dried, she loves being brushed and the whole bit of being pampered with.

Good ideas everyone...I am enjoying hearing everyone's routines.
