| shampoo for puppies Well my little pup has some flea issues and he is only 7 weeks old. I had previously posted that he wasnt eating as much as he was and now I realize it was probably because of the flea shampoo I was using on him. ( it says they must be 12 weeks or older). Well now his skin is a little flaky and I wanted to ask what you all recommend for a little pup with dry skin. And what can I use on him for fleas until he is old enough? I bought some advantix but it says i cant give him that till he is 7 weeks old but Im scared it might make his dry skin worse and maybe I shoud wait a while on that. What do you all think. |

| Dawn original dish soap should solve your problem. I use it on Murfee and it works great.

| Oh I am sorry with a pup as young as yours I would use no more tears baby shampoo. The minksheen is a good one to get for when he gets a little older

| It smells really good like a cologne and leaves their coat very shiny. I bathe mine once a week

| Plush Puppy Quote:
You should try Plush Puppy Evening Primerose shampoo. It's very soft for the coat and smells very nice. I love the result of this shampoo. | |
