They are gonna be 6 weeks on sunday. But they put their paws in the food plates or in the water plate and are stinky, well just a little bit. When it is a proper time to bathe them?

I took the chance and bathe them today with warm water and tearless puppy shampoo. Then i dry them with my blower and they are very much ok. So in case anyone was wondering, yes you can bathe your babies at 6 weeks.

Yep, I'd say 6 weeks is good, as long as you are careful with the shampoo, water temp, and not let them get chilled. I usually try to wait as long as I can so as not to stress them out before I need to, but it does seem that about the 6-8 week time frame they do start to look scruffy & become stinky babies. My trio of 10 week olds just got their first bath the other day............boy did they need it.
