Where do you bath your baby? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Just wanted to know where everyone bath their Yorkies? bathtub or kitchen sink or toilet sink? Or anyone here bought mobile dog baths for their dogs?

Kitchen sink!!! It is easy to use since I don't have to bend over and there is a sprayer so I can control where the water goes. Our kitchen sink is a double one and Sissy likes to perch her front paws on the dividing part of the sink.

I stick mine in the shower. I have a long hose nozzle and it works wonders for us.

so that they cannot jump out. I tried the kitchen sink when they were little but ended up getting water everywhere. The bathtub works better for me. It is a little hard on your back if you have 4 to bathe like me but I love it when they are all clean and smell good.

Mine go in the bathtub - at 16 pounds, Gabby is too big for the kitchen sink. Although Gage is small enough (6 - 7 pounds), I put him in the tub too. One of these days, when we add-on to the house, I want a mud room with on of those big, deep sinks to bath them in.

Either in my tub where they can't jump out or my parents have one of those huge utility sinks that is really deep that we use specifically for dog washing. It's great....don't have to bend over.

Sometimes I think I'd like to have a room just for grooming, but I figure shampoo and water is all the same no matter where it comes from.

Kitchen sink. So easy since there is a spray nozzel. And it doesn't break my back like the tub.

Ditto!! My guys do exactly the same thing!! I do get wet when I wash Starsky, my 10 lb guy. He likes to shake his head after I get it wet. I do him last! He he!

Kitchen sink

Gracie2006 · 10-06-2006, 05:30 AM

I use the Kitchen sink and the sprayer on the faucet. I would love to try doing it in the shower with me, but I am afraid it would scare Gracie.

Jenn218 · 10-06-2006, 05:32 AM

Kitchen sink for us too! It is just the perfect height, etc.

We installed one of those farmers sink type things (like a big utility sink) in our laundry room, but it is all the way downstairs, so we never use if for bath time. (just for soaking clothes and stuff! hee,hee

I tried our big tub, but didn't like being bent over or having to kneel so much...so it's the kitchen sink for us.
