First bath? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

At what age should you give your pup their first bath?
Poppy is 10 weeks old now, she's not dirty but my dad said she's starting to smell of dog

(what does he expect her to smell of parrot?)
Anyhoo I am wondering if I should give her one? is she old enough?
Thanks

I know that my dogs breeder gave her a bath for the first time a little before she was 10 weeks old.

You can bathe her, just use a tearless puppy shampoo. I recommend BioGroom.

I got Barney and Daisy when they were 8 weeks old and we gave them baths immediately. Teddy came fresh and clean from his breeder. We use Biogroom products also and love them!
