How many times do you bathe them?

[mia's mom]

How many times do you bathe your babies a month? Mia just started potty training outside and she smells like a "dog" now!:( I bathe her 1 a week because by the end of the week she is stinky...not bad but doggish! Is this to much once a week? She hates bathing....I think she hates the blower more though. When we are through she is a beautiful white fluff ball and smells heavenly! Any suggestions?:confused:

Kallie is outside potty trained, gets a bath every 10 to 14 days and Toby the Yorkie is also outside potty trained but is bathed every 7 to 10 days as his coat is more oily!:)

[I Found Nemo]

I used to bathe every week, but now I am lazy:D Probably every 10 to 14 days and Nemo never smells..
ANDREA~

we bought chip some baby wipes and some colgne for doggies we arent sure about how he would smell but he does smell good weve bathed him 2 times because of our throw up / droll incidents but hes over that and hes much better. i was told 1 time a week so it doesnt dry out his skin for bathing.

LB gets a bath every week, if she's not smelly or grungy I wait every 10 days. Mostly everyweek, with wipes in between.

I think it averages around 10 days for Holly.
The Lhasa I put off even longer. The tub is how we do it bc the sink is too small (noticed I didn't say the dogs were too big:D ).
It is so cute when I wash my Lhasa, Holly stands up at the tub between us trying to lick the tear free shampoo off her face, Poor Dayzie, she hates baths and puts up with Holly like she is an annoying little sister.
Then when it's Holly's turn she is sort of freaked out about the tub.
Once she jumped right into my arms! She's like a rabbit!!
I would like to rinse them off occasionally but the tub is soo hard. I wish we had a utility sink.

I give mine a bath once every week. Sometimes I will go two weeks and then give them a bath but for the most part it is every week.

[maltesemum]

Usually every week but sometimes i go to 10 days!

Mine are outside trained too & the paws do tend to get smelly so i use baby wipes on them!:maltese6:

[bek74]

around every 10 to 14days, when I brush a use a little baby powder and they smell ever so good.

Yorkietalk is the sister site to Maltesetalk...........both are great sites. This is just a bit smaller in membership and easier to get acquainted with each and everyone on it!:D Glad you and wifey like it here! You need to get her a maltese!

it was dried or something... vet cant figure it out...
so i do it every 10 days... i try real hard not to bath them often...

but since today is a beautiful day... i will be taking them out to the park and its bathday! :D

[Ceibasmom]

Ceiba gets a bath every Saturday or Sunday with a midweek 'dry bath'. I wipe her face every time she eats, I wipe her tushy and peepee after every potty break (she goes outside) and I wipe her with a washcloth every morning when she comes in from her potty break b/c she's wet from the dew on the grass. I just can't have a dirty dog!!! I guess the dirty bothers me more than it does Ceiba! ;)

[jazzysmom]

Macy & Jazzy get a bath probably every 10 to 14 days. They rarely have that doggy smell usually they have a very sweet nice smell unless they got into something when we go outside to potty. (Which they did yesterday and today is bath day)

[MaxJack'sMom]

Jack gets a bath once a week and goes to the groomer every 5 weeks. I got this new shampoo from the Natural Pet Store and it smells really great. It's called 'earthbath--Good for the Planet.' It's a totally natural pet shampoo and it's a light color coat brightener. The scent is lavender.
