Puppy Baths How old does a puppy have to be before they get a bath? Mommy started weening them at 4 weeks, so she's not feeding them more than twice a day. She also quit cleaning them. Our Vet said to feed them wet puppy food in the morning and make sure they have plenty of water. Jude |
I'd wait till at least 8 weeks, maybe 12 weeks to be extra sure. I'm sure that there are puppy shampoos out there, my only worry is that they would catch a draft or something and become sick, especially since they're so little. |
I'd give them sponge baths with just a bit of warm water. Towel dry afterwards. It's not too early for them to get used to grooming as it will be an important part of their lives. Cutting their nails, brushing, trimming their ears, I start all of this by 5 weeks of age. |
If they really need a bath, bathe from the neck down.... use a washcloth on the head. Best of luck to you. :) |
