No as yet has stated that for some strange reason, except for Deanna who says she is going to switch to Mink Shine. I wonder what she was using before? It seems to vary as to how often people bath a Chi. Most vets claim any breed of dog should be bathed at least once a month. I bathe both of mine once a month, but have not been happy with the natural shampoo that I have been using, which is oatmeal based, on Gigi, it seems to be drying her coat out and she is loosing that wonderful shine. That's why I was asking for name brands that people have had good results with. <Z-PeggyGirls-LilacWH-tag_2020212010.gif> -------Original Message------- From: Nancy Lucky Date: 1/12/2011 4:43:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Chi Shampoo Should I be bathing my babies every month, I feel terrible as it seems so many do. They get their bedding changed twice a week as they sleep with me. But I have giving them a bath in the winter. But I do clean their feet and use Paul Mitchell's dog wipes to clean their faces. I know when I brought Maggie home my granddaughter says - Maggie does not smell good like Abbey - she smells like pee, so of course I bathed her right away. But maybe I should be bathing them more often. In the summer when they get dirty from playing I always give them a bath. Well I will have to rethink this one.

I try to keep up, but sometimes I have to work..lol I don't have the net at home, but plan to get a smart phone here in the next couple of months so I can keep up better with everyone. We had our share of rain as you may know from Deanna's messages. We aren't far from each other! I live in Highland about 3 miles from where the bad flooding was. The mountains are just a 30 minute drive from us, so the snow is close if we want some..LOL I feel for you though! The weather man is saying we could be in the 80's by weeks end! The girls will be sun bathing for sure.. I use to be married, and had my horse Classy in my back yard for 15 years, but the last 5 years I have her boarded not far from my ex's house, as she loves the area and trails there. I don't know how much longer I can hang on too her as it is so expensive to board opposed to having them in your own back yard. I am trying to find someone that would like to have her, but it has to be the perfect forever home for her.

I use to use a shampoo from Pet Edge...it smells so good but my gallon just ran out so I am going with Minkshine that has a conditioner built in..on the pricey side but it lasts a LONG time. Everyone sleeps with me so they have to be sparklie clean! I have NEVER had an issue with dry skin or itching...my hubby does not like doggie smell...and frankly neither do I. I feel like keeping everyone clean is the least I can do since he lets me have so many LOL! and ..I REALLY enjoy grooming day! I think feeding raw is what keeps everyone's skin balanced and not itchy. Everyone's teeth get done every night before bed too. It is so much a routine now it would feel so weird not doing it.. been 15 years of the same routine and I guess it's hard to teach old dogs new tricks. Every bed and blanket gets washed on grooming day as well!

I can't remember the name of the shampoo right now and I'm out of town but I know its for sensitive skin. I also have dog wipes to wipe him down if I need to and conditioning spray which makes him smell good for a little while. He's always really soft after a bath.
