how often do you take your yorkie for grooming? is once a week or twice a month better?? i do notice that after 4 days agapi starts smelling.. er... a little strong:D |
I give Jazzie a bath once a week myself. I also do most of the grooming including the ears, feet & sanitary. I can't do her nails so I take her in for trimming every 2 weeks. She goes to a groomer twice a year for a professional trim. It takes me about an hour from start to finish when I bathe her but she has a full coat and the blow drying takes about 20 minutes. |
thanks for the info! i dont think i will wash himmy self because he is quite fuzzy.:D |
You will spend a lot of money on grooming if you go weekly! Here it is $50! More than my hair! I bathe Holly every week. It takes 5 minutes! She runs about madly to dry off and sits infront of the heater. When she is dry I brush her. She gets a brush/comb nearly every day. I can do her nails myself too when she is sleepy. I clean her eyes every day. I plan to visit the groomer every 2-3 months, mainly for a nice hairtrim as she is too wriggly to let me do it,especially around her face. If money is no option,by all means go as much as you like. I like her to be clean as she sleeps on my bed! |
I bath Trixie and Scampers once a week every week. I also do all the grooming myself. The only time they go to the groomer's is around the holidays like Christmas because I am just too busy to do it myself. If you don't have money to take them to the groomer's every week then just take them once a month and use those in-between-baths sprays, they will keep your dog smelling nice and looking good until the next appointment you have with the groomer. Also, if you do bath them every week make sure to use a moisturizing shampoo and conditior so their hair and skin won't get irritated. |
I wash Cali every 2 weeks and to the groomers very 8-10 weeks fpr a good grooming and trim. |
First and last time Pixie will ever go to a groomer was last December... The groomer totally did not do what I want and I'm afraid another one will do the same thing.... So I do it all myself! I bathe her once a week and do other things as needed - pull ear hair, sanitary trim, trim nails & pad hair, etc. She was a handfull at first, but I didn't give in to her objections and now she stands there like a perfect little lady while I do what I have to.... Last weekend I even cut her hair. I took a couple inches off all around. There's one spot that's uneven, but unless you look closely for it, you really can't tell. It usually takes an hour to and hour and a half depending on what needs to be done that day. I'd rather take the time to do it myself than pay someone $35 to NOT cut it the way I want! |
I bathe Oscar about once every week to 10 days. He goes to the groomer every six weeks or so for his grooming as we keep him in a puppy cut. He has a very wavy, thick & cottony coat that was just impossible to keep long. He is due to go now! His ears are so heavy with hair, his right one is drooping!!! Gotta get that taken care of pretty quick! |
I bathe Sadie once a week myself. I would love to do all of the grooming myself but she just won't have it. So off to the groomer we go about every 6 weeks (or whenever her hair gets in her eyes & she can't see). Hopefully the older she gets the more she'll be still for me to do it. But right now, I think that sometimes it takes two of them to do it because she's a wiggler |
Sissy gets bathed once a week, the entire process including blow drying takes about 5 minutes. I trim her hair myself (she is 10 months and I've trimmed twice - her hair grows slowly). I've tried to do her nails, but she won't cooperate. So the groomer for that process last time. Nails alone are $12.00 so if you use a groomer regularly for everything, its going to cost a forture! |
Loki goes to the groomer every 4 weeks. I bathe him on weekends and wash his face every day. He doesn't get stinky until the 6-7th day, unless he pees on his foot. Then he gets a foot bath! He is cut really short for summer so I blow dry his body and let his feet and face dry on their own since he hates the blow dryer on his face. Nails are hard. I try to do them once in between grooming appts. I also brush his teeth every few days. |
I bathe both mine every Saturday, and they go to the groomer every other month! (I keep them in puppy cuts) |
do they really get stinky in a week? what exactly is stinky about them? is it because they have the long hair? i don't have mine yet so i don't know about this. everyone says they wash their dog once a week. do you really have to do that? |
I Take Gimpy To Groomer's Once A Month To Get Shaped Up. But I Give Him A Bath Once A Week My Self But He Jumps In Tub And Cry To Get In Shower So He Gets A Bath Maybe Three Or Four Times A Week Weather He Needs One Or Not. He Makes Me So Mad I Just Get Done Brushing Him And He Gets In Shower With Hubby. |
