My shih tzu is 3 months old. And he has medium length hair. The pet store told me not to wash him more than once every two weeks due to skin irritation and dryness. However, because of the long coat it gets smelly very quick. I was wondering how often can I wash my puppy? if I can't shampoo him often how can I keep him clean and fresh? (ex. wipes)Also, I'm thinking about taking my puppy to pet smart to get it groomed...how often should I go? and how much does it cost to get him groomed? (everything included...brushing teeth, hair cut, shampooing, nail cut...etc)Thanks in advance!
