Could someone please recommend something! My vet said not to bathe him till he is 6 months and not to take him to a groomer till then as well. Do you guys think this seems accurate. Also maybe I can get some info on his size, his mom is 6 pounds and his dad is 5, but if I do the equation of tripling his weight at 9 weeks then he will be 9 pounds! I don't understand! Please help! |
Hi I just got Maximus 2 weeks ago (he is 12 weeks) and the first thing I did was bathe and blowdry him....I get yelled at by my vet also...he said wait till 6 months...I have since been puppy wiping him everyday and washing his face with warm rag before I brush him in the morning...next week I plan to give him a bath again...an not tell the vet...it's not fair to him although he doesn't stink I think every 2-3 weeks should be okay....or some even say every month with daily puppy wiping...GOOD LUCK...FYI...I think you are suppossed to double their weight at 12 weeks and add 1/2 lb and that is there adult weight..Maximus is 2.4 lbs...so he will probaly be around 5 when he is grown.
