Too young for a bath? Mickey and I had out first trip to the vet this morning, and it was a messy one. He got car sick and threw up in his carrier on the way there, and on the way back. I was able to clean it up ont the way there, but I didnt catch it on the way back, and he ended up falling asleep and rolling around in it, and now he's a big (okay- little) smelly mess! Should he have his first bath today as well, or is this going to be too stressful of a day for him? He is just over 10 weeks old. We took him home on Saturday. |
romeo will be 8 weeks this friday and the vet told me at his first visit - he was 6 weeks - that he was too young for a bath and that i should wait until he is 12 weeks old. |
I don't think 10 weeks is too young for a bath but it might be too much trauma in the same day as the vet visit. Has he been introduced to the blow dryer yet? That can be scary for them too. Can you just spot wash him? Poor baby! Scary bad Vet! |
I gave mine their first bath at 8 weeks. I think he is old enough |
How about just wiping him down with a warm damp towel? |
hello, The same happen to me when my Marley was 2 months, and I did gave him a rapid bath :) .........my new baby is around 12 weeks and I gave her a bath she was stinky:eek: she wasn't happy but I gave her a lot of kisses and she fell asleep in my arms. |
i gave indy a bath at 9 weeks cause he threw up on the way home from the breeders, i just made sure to keep him warm and dried him on low with warm air, he didnt freak out at all, but my pom freaks out so i think it depends on the puppy to. turn on the water and just put a bit on him and if he seems ok with the noise and feeling i say go for it, if not id use a damp cloth. :) |
Thanks! Thanks everyone! I think I will go the wet rag route today and hold off a while for the bath. I want the bath to be a good FUN experience! :animal36 |
Warm up a towel in the dryer for him |
We gave our baby a bath his first time when he was almost 8 wks. It didnt bother him to bad!! The blow dryer did scare him though!!!:p |
it's good to see that other's have bathed their puppies younger - i don't think i will be able to wait 4 more weeks after his buddy wash products arrive!:p |
