Pack Of Dachshunds Can't Resist Hopping In The Bath With Great Dane Foster Sibling
Anyone who's ever bathed a large dog knows it takes quite a bit of effort. It's even more work when a pack of small dogs try to get in on the action. In an amusing TikTok video captioned "I'm gonna need a bigger tub lol" — which has been viewed more than 1.8 million times and accumulated over 233,000 likes — the owner of eight dachshunds and one chihuahua-poodle mix gives a bath to her enormous foster dog, a Great Dane named Harley. As the kind-hearted pet parent stands in the bathtub with Harley and shampoos her, the little dogs look on in wonder, and eventually three of them join Harley in the tub. "Bathing my foster pony with 9 Weens" is overlaid on the video.

Viewers loved the heartwarming scene. "Family bath night!!! 🥰🥰🥰" exclaimed one netizen, and another joked, "What are the hours to visit this petting zoo?" One person encouraged, "Please keep that pony 🥹 she looks so cute and silly with all the weens."
Some people theorized that the petite pooches were trying to help the gentle giant feel calm and secure, leaving comments such as, "The ✨emotional support weens✨." Others assumed the wiener dogs just didn't want to be left out of all the fun, and one person suggested, "Looks like a few weens have fomo. You were born to be a dog mom. 💕🐾"
How often should you bathe your dog?
How often should you give your dog a bath? That question doesn't have a single straightforward answer, as each animal is different. Bathe a dog too often, and you may irritate their skin and dry out their coat. Bathe a dog too infrequently, and you could end up with a stinky pooch who has a tangled coat and develops a skin infection. The key things to consider are the dog's breed, fur length and density, and lifestyle.
A long-haired dog who enjoys rolling around in the mud might have you filling the bathtub every day. Or, as several viewers of the TikTok video pointed out, perhaps the bathtub isn't the best choice when trying to clean a pet as large as Harley. One netizen wrote, "It is easier to take your big dog into the shower and bathe them there."
