Their hair is like silk and the only time she smells is when she gets the idea of rolling in the grass. Which is a no, no. They are cuddly and tiny and make for a great size to have in the house. I bath her every week to maintain her silky coat with baby shampoo from Target, their brand. The groomer told me about this shampoo and it works great. We keep her hair cut short as she will never have to wear a ribbon in her hair..OUCH!

That is a no, no. human shampoo has a high ph level that can burn your baby’s skin as well as bathing her too often. the more you bathe her the more natural, and necessary oil is leaving her. this will damage her skin and her beautiful hair. i would also switch groomers because a good groomer would never advise human shampoo or to bather her that often. recomended bathig is every 1-2 months.

I guess I need to talk to her about this too. Bathing every 1 to 2 months? Wow that’s a very long time in between baths! Abby started getting bathed every week when she was only about 4 weeks old and loves bath time :(

The poor dog had to got to the vet to clear up the skin problems I created. I haven’t made that mistake again in the 40 some years since.

Hartz also has a Conditioning spray for dogs that Freshens & Detangles dogs coats in between baths. With every day brushing and the freshner your dog should do fine with a bath once a month.
