I don't know about that Kevin. I tried to hold off two weeks without bathing our girl and honestly I couldn't sit in the same room with her and that was even after just using cologne to try and hold out on bathing to not dry out her skin. I finally couldn't stand it anymore and gave in and bathed her. I have never ever in my life had such a stinky wigglebut dog before. lol. My other dogs can go weeks, maybe even a month without a bath, but this one, no way. I can't even describe the smell its horrendous. I am constantly washing her blankets and crate pads because the smell even gets on those. I don't get it. We feed a high quality food and treats and none of my other dogs smell like this. I'm hoping it's just a puppy thing. Otherwise I'm gonna start wearing nose plugs. lol. I feel your pain Phoenix.
