Hi Alexandria and Cookie Dough!
Are you talking about the "dirt baths" or "dust baths" that chinchillas use? I don't believe those will do much good for GPs and may even irritate their respiratory tracts, because of the dust. However, if the product says specifically it is ok for GPs, then that's probably not what I'm thinking of. Instead of a bath you could try those bath wipes (kind of like baby wipes) for small animals. Also, there are some spray-on shampoos that don't require an actual bath, although my GP's don't seem to love those either. Just avoid the head and face while using any of them.
