You should not bath puppies (of any breed) younger than 8 weeks old.

Puppies under 8 weeks can be rinsed with plain water or baby wipes, but you should stay away from puppy shampoos. And, definitely stay away from any flea and tick shampoo.

When a puppy is older than 8 weeks old, you can bath it with a gentle puppy shampoo. Make sure to stay to keep the shampoo away from the puppies eyes and ears.

If you choose to use a flea and tick shampoo on your puppy, you should really wait until the puppy is at least 3 months old. If your puppy is suffering from fleas and, or, ticks, you can speak with your veterinarian about Capstar, a pill used to kill fleas and ticks on dogs and puppies.

A 5 week old puppy, no matter what breed should still be with his Dam. Is he or she an orphan? If not, then let the Dam clean up the puppy. If for some reason the Mother dog (Dam) isn't cleaning up her pups, just one warm bath using some type of kitty shampoo or a dog shampoo that says it is safe for puppies under the age of 6 weeks. Don't use a human type shampoo as it will strip off all the natural oils. Don't use any insecticide type shampoo either. Once is enough and then keep him or her in a nice clean environment.
