What can i possibly do to not have to bath my 3 so often? i work at petco so i know about the good shampoos and such but i have to give them a bath...well they smell just too bad to wait any longer then 2 weeks!
i know their pups and they run around and roll in stuff alot more then the average, but it seems like im always giving them baths because they just stink way WAY to bad for me to handle anymore!
help!!

Try Mane and tail for dogs. Remember- the more you bathe the more oil is produced in the coat to protect the skin.

As long as you're using good quality products, I don't see the harm in bathing a dog frequently. Many show dogs get bathed weekly (or more). If your dog's coat gets dry or looks to be overworked, I'd try adding coat supplements.

They probably sell these where you work...they're called Bath Wipes or Doggie Wipes...you can also buy them at Target. I was fortunate to find some 8" x 11" sized bath wipes at the dollar store last year, and they can wipe down an entire dog, and the wipe will still be really moist. Those were really good ones. The ones from Target are a lot smaller.

They are scented, so if you use those after your dogs have romped around outside (a lot of the stink also has to do with the "doggie sweat" :) ) your dogs should still smell good, and you won't have to bathe so often.
