I give my chi a bath about every 2 months. Unless he is
filthy or something like that. He hates baths but he gets kinda smelly if he
does not get his bath. I know about the oils in their skin but Remy has never
had a skin problem at all so he will continue getting his baths.

I wouldn't use baby bath on a chi puppy...may an older one, but not a
puppy. As a general rule, chis should not be bathed more than twice a year
as a routine and otherwise only when absolutely necessary. Chi coats excrete
an oil that protects their naturally dry skin. Bathing gets rid of these
oils. I have noticed, however, with my chis, that they love to find the
filthiest, dirtiest stuff they can and just ROLL in it. When they do,
naturally I have to bathe them. Otherwise, a pet wipe (they look a lot like
baby wipes but are specially made for pets) can be used for routine
cleaning, but reserve full baths for twice a year routines and as absolutely
needed. It is much better for their skin.

Subject: [Chihuahuas] question abd
bathing...
I was told that the best thing to wash chihuahua in is
baby bath. I was wondering if this true and if so could i use the lavender
baby bath? Its in the purple bottle. It smells so good. I love that smell.
Twos is only 9 1/2 weeks.
