Roxie (wash and wear) gets bathed once a month at least (she doesn't get smelly, like EVER, but... y'know) - if she rolls in poo, then I bathe her as well (luckily she does not enjoy doing that!), but if she gets muddy I just brush her out and spray her with some "dog perfume" (my sister got me "dogs of new york" spray year before last for x-mas). Her shampoo is oatmeal and aloe Pet Meds shampoo- it smells AMAZING. Her coat is really awesome afterwards, too!
Nails get clipped once a week- I am lightly going about getting her used to a dremel (black and decker). Clippers are just random from Ace Hardware, but they were cheap and cut better than any other clipper I've used that's under $15, so it was a great deal! I will have to replace them soon, though
Brush is just a rubber curry brush- it takes like 30mins during super-shed months to get her completely dead fur free. She gets brushed once a week, too. Normally it takes 15 minutes because she doesn't shed much at all.
Her ears get cleaned each week (or every other if I'm being super lazy...). Ear solution's from Pet Meds. For teeth, she had Drs Foster And Smith dental cleanse pads that work really great. Waay better than me trying to brush her teeth- she still puts up a fight (mostly just tries to keep her mouth shut, and tries pulling away at first), but it's not as bad and it's all over in a few minutes. Also done every week or so... I should probably get better at that, I used to do it nightly.
