| Can I bathe my 13 week old puppy?? She is stinky and smells like urine. Is she too young? or would it be ok?

I know a lot of people do, but I have never taken mine in the shower with me. I am afraid the stream would be too strong for them. Would sure be easier though.

| I bathed mine the day I got her(less than 7 weeks)..I would use the puppy shampoo, and try not to get any water in her ears..Make sure you have a nice warm towel to dry her with after her bath, and then put the blow dryer on a medium heat(you don't want that too hot)...They do have wipes to clean them off with in between baths... |

| My puppies get their first baths at 6 weeks. Then dried with a blow dryer to get them used to it. |

| Just be very careful if you do it in the tub. I wouldn't let go for a second and I don't think I would even let them swim at this age. Are you gonna take picks?

| I bathe Lacy in the kitchen sink since I have the spray nozzel (and then I clean the sink afterwards ) I've bathed her since I got her...at least once a week. I always dry her off and blow dry her...just make sure the dryer doesn't get too hot

| Does anybody else's dogs freak out at the hairdryer and act like your trying to kill them? Esp. my oldest girl. I just have to towel dry her as much as I can and then she runs around the house like a loon.

| I always warm a couple of towels in the dryer before I bathe my pup. She likes to cuddle with me in her warm towel after her bath. |

| OMG....my little guy thinks I am trying to do something horrible to him when I tried using the hair dryer on him. I had to stop using it. I just didn't want him to be cold. I'm definitely going to be using the dryer to warm up towels for me the next time. Also do those wipes you can use in between baths really work?? |

| OMG! Tessa thinks I am trying to kill her, I'm sure! Her eyes get really big and she starts jumping around....but she will lie on the floor in front of the heat vent when it is going
