Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would not use shampoo or soap. Bathing her twice daily with soap will dry out her hair. If you want to keep her cool then just spray her down with water or provide a baby pool for her to lie in to keep cool. I wish you and Jacky the best!
