How often would you bathe a Persian? I know that daily brushing is a must, but what about bathing? I never thought about doing it but I was reading some Persian grooming websites (geared mostly toward people showing Persians) and it makes me think that I should be giving Mattie a bath at least once a month. She's only had 1 bath in the year that I've had her, and I had the groomer do it (her white fur had turned yellow from Animax ointment that we were using to treat her acne, which at the time was full blown).
Even with daily brushing, she always looks scruffy. Her skin is waxy and over-produces oil, which I think is what causes her to have issues with feline acne (though right now there is nothing on her chin and only a few blackheads in the corners of her mouth).
So for an average indoor-only Persian, how often would you bathe them?
(Mattie isn't a purebred Persian, but she definitely has the long hair of one and the flat face).
