How often do your bathe your little one other than when taken to the groomer?

matese · 04-25-2020, 01:01 AM

Every two weeks. He sports a puppy cut so bath time is 1,2,3. Winter I blow him fully dry, summer it's a damp blow.

Lisa and Pic · 04-25-2020, 01:48 AM

Every 7-10 days depending on how they look/smell and my time also.

Mike_and_Me · 04-25-2020, 05:40 AM

Every 10 days during summer, and every 4-6 weeks for the rest of the year.
No extra baths for grooming because I groom him at home

My husband is in the laundry room as I am writing this wrestling with Tyrone.
He is incredibly afraid of water, and even at four only barely tolerates his bath. He also sports a beautiful coat, brushing the floor. We try to bathe him every ten days, or when he gets really smelly.

I bathe Gus, and he is fine...fully cooperative, and prances around once he is done to show off. His problem is his cottony coat. As soon as it gets past a certain point, he becomes a matted mess. He will be getting a short puppy cut trim this weekend.

We kinda fall inline with others here, about every 2 weeks. A wash and blow dry. Her coat is silky and sort of cottony, tangles easily. Have to brush her frequently.

Us too. Every 10ish days or 2 weeks. I do not blow dry. I like to leave it natural to air dry. I comb out then leave it until the next day. It's what I do with my own hair too. Less stress, better for hair.

I LOVE that long hair. Any chance you would share a photo before and after his haircut?

It is funny how tiny they become wet!

LOl, I love the before and after photos, she's a lil beauty, is she a chocolate yorkie.

Lovetodream88 · 04-25-2020, 05:32 PM

Generally every 2 weeks. Ollie gets miniature baths sometimes between because he enjoys the natural mud spa treatment and I’m not fond of it lol. I wipe everyone’s eye area, butts and privates every night before I put them in their nightgowns. Before getting dressed in the morning I also clear eye buggers.

I don’t blow dry either especially since by the time I’m done with the 4th one the 1st and 2nd are mostly dry lol

Thank you she is a pistol, full of herself. She shrinks to half her size when wet....soooo much hair, very thick. Takes me a good 45 min to an hour to wash and dry her. Then by the time I get her all nice spiffy her Samoyed bother (Sachi) decides it's time to break out the saliva tongue or she decides to stick her head in his mouth for a licking spree....arrrrgh.

Thanks. Definitely a chocolate. When we got her a little less than a year ago (feels like she has been here foreverrrr) we didn't know there was such a thing as chocolate yorkies. On a whim we went to see her and brought her home. A little heart melter. She was sooo good those first couple of days then she broke loose from her shell. :-) :-)
She has the chocolate/dudley nose & hazel eyes which is kind of weird at times when one is used to standard yokies, still pretty though, just different. Her coat has some unique coloring and is extremely thick at least compared to our last standard.

She is the most beautiful chocolate yorkie I have seen, her hair coloring is simply beautiful. Many happy joyful years with this lil beauty.

She is a beauty! Tyrone is a chocolate parti...I love their sweet "liver" noses. Ty also has green eyes.
