bathing? how often?

[greenmsgo84]

My two get a bath once a week. When they were puppies it was twice a week as they were into much more trouble. But I keep Faiths hair pretty long so we use wipes to keep her potty clean.

once a week and i groom them myself once a week, including haircuts.

I bathe my two once every 10 to 14 days.

Kimchee always smells fresh even on the 10th day, but he starts scratching usually on the 10th day.

Mochi smells bad all the time, even a few days after the bath. I think she needs a bath every week.

We just started Hot Rod every 2 weeks because of a medicated shampoo and oatmeal conditoner for dry skin. Before that, we were told to wait at least 3 weeks.

He was/is groomed every other month and we were bathing him once a month in between.

yay im glad i seem to bathe paddy the same amount as everyone else...once a week if he gets in mud...once ever 10 days if there isn't mud around for longer lol

Sorry to bring up an older thread but am just wondering about bathing. With our last Yorkie he got groomed every 4-6 weeks and we bathed him once a month (unless he had fleas or was really dirty). We are doing the same thing with these guys and are using Oatmeal shampoo to help with dry skin/allergies. Is once a month not enough? I had figured that once a week would be too much so am curious.

Thanks,

If they stay inside mostly and don't become "stinky", then that may be enough.
I live in the South and when we have warm days, my baby loves to romp around all over the yard. Plus, he sleeps with us, so I have to keep him fresh. I can't stand a stinky dog in my bed.

I tend to bathe every week and a half and sometimes I can stretch it to two weeks, but that's pushing it. He goes to the grooomer and get professionally cleaned up and trimmed every 5-6 weeks!
