Guys, when can I wash Rocky, and what kind of shampoo should I use?

he doesnt smell bad, but he doesnt smell like a cookie either.
he is 11 weeks old.

Thanks

Yeah, but beware that he might FREAK the first time. I'd recommend washing him in the tub b/c Peeka Boo kept trying to jump out during his first bath. If you wash him in the sink he might panick and hurt himself. Hopefully he'll be a good boy and love it.

I use Tropiclean shampoo, Groomax conditioner and Groomax freshening spray(every day).

I have always used puppy tearless shampoo on the face. On the body I use a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner (doggie of coarse) and then follow with a conditioner if tangles are a problem. It is safe to use almost any type of doggie shampoo on a puppy. I only took Cozy 1 or 2 baths to get the idea. Still does like her face wash--- Afraid she will drown if guess. She loves the blow dryer if she hears it she comes running no matter what. She get her buns quickly warmed. LOL. Good luck with baby's first bath. It will be more tramatic to you then him. I like the bath tub for washing because the sides are high so she can't jump out and hurt herself. Cozy gets a bath at least once a week. More often than not several. She loves to get dirty by digging holes, rolling in the mud, or rolling in smelly things.
