| Oily Fur Hey All, I was just wondering, my hubby and I have both noticed that Oscar's fur seems to be exceptionally oily. I try not to bath him more than once a week or every 10 days, because I thought that was hard on their skin, but he's kind of greasy! Is this normal? Should I just be bathing him more?? Thanks Cor |

| It could be your shampoo. If you go to the Forums section and go to the forum called YT Seller Feedback & Reviews you can check out Yorkie Splash & Shine Yorkie Shampoo & Conditioner. It's what I use and and it's all natrual. Many other members here have tried it and rated it very highly. I believe someone said it helped with an oily coat, too.

| I use conditioner on Zeus and I think I wasn't rinsing well enough because a few days after his bath he felt grimy. I was told if you don't rinse well the conditioner acts like a magnet and attracts dirt and oils. |
