longhair...  because of their urine stain on thier fur,, and can i
bathe them weekly? and blowdry them is that ok? i have a pair of peruvian
2 1/2 months old thank you

Answer
Hello Jeffrey,

It's Kat, by the way. I would not recommend weekly baths because it can dry out their skin. Blow drying them after you bath them is fine and is actually recommended. You can cut their hair or you can wrap them. Wrapping protects the hair from breakage and stains. I'll send you a few links with instructions (and pictures) on how to wrap their hair. Good luck!
