Yes you can. If you are wanting to get rid of fleas, make sure the shampoo says it is safe for puppies. Normally the shampoo bottle (made for dogs) will give the ages that it is safe for. Make sure to keep the shampoo out of the eyes. Make a ring of shampoo around the neck first to keep the fleas from jumping on the head. You can put a dab of vaseline in the eyes to protect them.

Is ok for you to give your 5 week old pitbull puppy a bath?

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.
