bathing my yorkie what is the average time to give yorkies a bath, it seems that if i bathe my 5 month old every week, her fur seems a little dry and if i wait a 2 weeks her fur looks greasy to me and she smells alittle, any suggestions on what i should bathe her in. thanks :aimeeyorkGracie |
The vet was shocked when I told him I bathed Strawberry every week. He said only every 3 weeks at the most! Hah! That will never happen! And my previous Yorkie, Kiwi, was part of the family for 16 years also was bathed once a week. In the winter months they do get a bit of dry skin if you bath that often, but I don't like her to get stinky so I keep to her weekly bathing. It is not some short haired, outside dog that you can bath 4 times a year( ew...smell that!). I sometimes use a bit of gentle conditioner on her and that helps. Also, during the dry months I add a tiny bit of Olive Oil to her food and it really seems to help her skin from getting too dry and it has helped her from getting too many tangles. She loves the taste and it hasn't upset her stomach at all! :D My mom and I both give it to our yorkies! |
I bathe mine once every two weeks in the winter and once a week all other times. Ive never had any problems with dry skin with mine |
Too much bathing washes the natural oils out of their hair. 3 of mine get bathed about every 10-12 weeks, and the little one every 3-4 weeks. They have wipes you can buy to wipe them off in between baths.. |
I bath mine every 2-4 weeks just depends. I wash mine with Bio Groom protein and lanolin and silk cream rinse. I use it diluted and can't believe how well it works. I used to use some stuff from Walmart, never again!!! |
PS. mine went through a dry skin stage around 5 months then grew out of it in a couple of weeks. |
