How often to you bathe you pup? We just gave Hammer a bath last weekend.. and he constantly scratching because of dry skin, so im going to give him another bath today. He still smells AMAZING so seems silly to bath him. Is once a week too often? |
He might be scratching because of the shampoo .. maybe the shampoo gave him dry skin? Don't bathe him often.. dogs should not be bathe too often! I am yet to find out how often to bathe Samy but all dog owners I know say once a couple of months... My vet said once a month and only with special shampoo for him so he does not get itchy and scratchy :) |
Are you sure the reason that he is scratching is from dry skin? It might be allergies. Pebbles scratched all the time until I changed her food and started adding Coconut Oil to her diet. She now has totally stopped scratching. I believe it was a chicken and grain allergy. What are you feeding? I have all of mine a bath once a week and believe that it is pretty standard of most members on YT to bath anywhere from weekly to every other week. If I wait too much longer their hair looks just horrible.:) |
every Friday night so she can be gorgeous for our weekend out and about fun time :) I use Dr. Bronners Baby Mild Liquid soap...it's GREAT for dry and sensitive skin. |
Once a week - faithfully! Yorkie's hair isn't like most dogs. I know my previous vet said the same thing but unfortunately not all vets are familiar with breed specific care. |
We are feeding him Royal Canin Indoor Puppy .. We were used a puppy shampoo/cond then my boyfriend (ugh men) searched online and found that dandruff shampoo was safe so without my knowledge used that on him! |
I wouldnt use people shampoo on him, while most shampoos are "safe" they are much to harsh for their skin and could be causing the itching. I would bathe your baby with a very mild shampoo and see if that helps, if it does not you can start to look at other reasons for the itching. I use either Eqyss brand or Kiehls brand shampoo and conditioner on mine and bathe them every other week |

That is probably the reason because it's like a detergent and too strong. Yorkies are not like regular dogs when it comes to skin and hair. The product I use is not a detergent based soap. It is a castile and olive oil based cleaning liquid and other natural ingredients that are great for sensitive skin and conditions the hair. |

My babies still like RC, but the scratching is a sign that something is not agreeing with them. |
In the summer, it's typically 1x a week bath for Jackson. In the winter, I can go as long as every other week or more. |

We also bathe our girls every week. :) |
