is it so bad? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ok, maggie gets a bath every friday. once in a while i give it to her thursday night if i know friday will be hectic. but it is once a week. i get to the point by like tuesday that i want sooooo badly to give her a bath. especially if it has snowed or rained or whatever...

she has no skin irritations and her skin is not dry at all...would it be horrible if once in a while she gets an extra bath? as long as her skin is ok? poor thing is not allowed to be tom-boyish at all...momma wants her all pretty and dolled up

anyone else out there give baths more than once a week?

I don't think its bad if its only every now and then. Well have to do it at some point or another with the things this kiddos get into. Sometimes you have to rebathe the same day because they get into some disaster.

Everyone says it isn't good, but you know, Vixxen is ready for a bath AT LEAST once a week! Sometimes I give her one a bit early too if we are going someplace or if she got extra dirty somehow....We have no problems. I think it is ok

I sometimes give My Jewels more than one bath a week. She hasnt developed any skin problems from it

Brissy gets more than one bath a week. She is a stink bomb

if I don't. I use a fast drying puppy shampoo, blow dry her a bit, and she is having no problems with her skin.

I don't see that as a problem, espeically if your baby's skin isn't sensitive, and you are using a good premium shampoo/conditioner

ok, good. cuz maggie gets to looking pretty rough sometimes

and since i take her EVERYWHERE with me, I hate when she gets too extremely dirty. she is such a puppy...plays all the time. constantly getting into something. so she gets to needing it pretty bad.

what kind of brush do you guys use? i am having a hard time finding a brush that works good for her.

pepe mint · 02-20-2007, 06:32 PM

anyone have suggestions on brushes????

onelovelylynn · 02-20-2007, 06:50 PM

Catrina · 02-20-2007, 08:44 PM

Princess gets a bath every 5 days...sometimes one in between if its been really rainy...

I find Tia gets dandruff if I bathe her once a week...so now I'm trying about every 10 days or so. She hasn't really been outdoors yet because it's FREEZING in Ottawa. But I brush her and wash her face and butt pretty much every day.
