How can you bathe newborn puppies?

Answer 1

yes, but you have to be very careful and not let it get too chilled or become lethargic. If the pup has a mom, there is no reason to bathe it unless its a medical problem. momma dogs, take good care of their pups.

If the puppy has fleas, make sure the shampoo being used is suitable for young animals. any other reasons, contact your vet.

Answer 2

Make it fun, relaxed, and reward him/her alot. Give treats when he/she is behaving well in the bath. If you put a lot of negative energy (frustration, anger, too much restraint of the pet) in to the bath time, your puppy will learn that baths are "bad", no fun, and to be avoided.

Answer 3

It shouldn't be necessary for a two-week old puppy to be bathed....his mom should be keeping him clean. If absolutely necessary to help her out, best to simply use a warm, wet washcloth to wipe him down, and make sure to dry him well afterward. If it's just the hind end that needs a little cleaning, gently wetting that area with a sprayer or dipping that end in a shallow pan of water should be OK; just be sure to dry thoroughly afterward.

Answer 5

Assuming that you've determined that he actually needs cleaning (perhaps he got into something sticky), put a rectangular basin (rubber is best) in the sink, add a half inch of warm water and hook up the sprayer. Put the puppy in the basin, all the time talking to him and give him a tiny treat when he settles down. Making sure the water is warm, not hot, wet him down, starting at the rump. (If you spritz him in the face, bath time is going to be a problem for the foreseeable future). When he's wet, let him shake. Yes, you'll get a little wet; it's what dogs do. Then rub in the doggie shampoo (you did purchase actual doggie shampoo, right, didn't try to use the dish detergent because it was handy?) and lather him up. Skip the face. The instant you finish the lather, start the rinse, again from the rump. (If you pause, he'll shake, and then you'll be soapy as well as wet; by swiftly transitioning, there's at least a good chance he'll hold the next shake until he's just wet again.) Towel him off, say, "What a good dog!" and give him another treat. What you're trying to do is impress him that bathtime is funtime. Put him someplace warm until he thoroughly dries off.

(The reason you get his feet wet first is so the degree of traction won't change as you spray; that can raise anxiety.)
