baths

[KingstonotsgniK]

i take my baby to the park at least twice a week and he goes out all the time to use the bathroom. Ive been reading that you shouldnt give them a bath all the time because itll dry out their skin, but he gets stinky. what can you suggest? when i use baby wipes he ends up smelling stinky with an over coat of baby-ness... please help

i bath once a week with either Pet Silk or Tropiclean shampoo and conditioner. They can last a week TOPS around here. There is a member selling the Tropiclean for a steal! I used it for the first time the other day and loved the smell! Here's the link:

Yorkies are not like other dogs and need to be bathed more often. Using a good dog shampoo with also keep their hair and skin looking great!

Pixie gets a bath once a week. Her hair starts to look dirty and she likes to take baths.

I bathe mine once a week - faithfully. It's really dusty here in the desert and with my boy being light colored you can really tell when he's dirty - especially after a walk. Because it's so dry here I don't want to over bathe them so sometimes I just put him in the tub and shampoo his feet - just make sure you rinse them really well. I don't care for the wipes either. Max wants to lick anything like that or lotion on my hands so I tend to use water and a warm wash cloth instead. JMO but I think they attract more dirt on them - at least here.

I bought Cowboy Magic Sunday and bathed both my Female Yorkie and Female Shi tzu/Yorkie/pug/laso apso - mix and this stuff if wonderful. It makes them feel so silky and shiny.

Wonder if it would be ok for humans? It's actually made for horses. But it does work wonders.

The Tropiclean shampoo is awesome. I use it on Haylee once a week since we are so dusty up here. Keeps her smelling great for the week until her next bath.
