how often should i wash dixie?

Hi,

just need some advice please. how often does staffs needs a bath, and what should i use?

thanks

We use a hypoallergetic dog shampoo but only give her a bath every couple of months unless she really smells or gets into someting she shouldn't

I've only washed Zeus once with a puppy shampoo I got from Pets At Home, but it left his coat really dry and had a fair amount of dandruff. I'll probably do the same as jstaff and wash every couple of months. I've also brought a spray that I put on him if he smells, again I got it from Pets At Home.

We use Etiderm but as said, only bath them if they need it. I tend to bath mine every 6 wks x

I very rarley wash Moo and when I do I just shower her with water Xx

As little as humanly possible! If you have to wash him because you can't live with the smell any more then use a mild, oatmeal based shampoo & make sure you rinse & dry thoroughly.

I only bath cairo when she really needs it,or she gets filthy when we have been out. I used groomers puppy shampoo when we first got her.It was from pets at home.

once in 2 years fro Tilly and not yet for Tommy , PAH bought puppy shampoo

I would tend not to bath too often as you could run the risk of stripping the coat of it's natural oils and making his skin sore and itchy. Just an occasional rinse in warm water should be fine until a shampoo shower and rinse is needed.

Unless covered in something lovely, I don't bath at all

I only wash my two when they really need it. I just use a puppy shampoo and make sure its rinsed out well.

I have got Molly washed every four weeks (father inlaw is a dog groomer) more so as a socializing thing but she loves it!!

thanks for all your great advice,



thanks

Buster is washed about every 6 weeks. I leave it as long as I can but he goes to work with OH three days a week where it is muddy in the rain and really dusty in the dry and because Buster is white he goes a yellowish colour after a while. I only use baby wash. I have to use this on LuLu as CC's have very sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate, so I figured it would be ok to use on Buster
