A puppy's first bath should be given when it is at least 2 months old -- and only if completely necessary. If a sponge bath would suffice, then do that instead. It is very important that you keep the puppy warm so use lukewarm water and mild baby shampoo for the bath. Afterwards, make sure that you dry him off completely. and remember that if you bath it to early it could become very ill, but dont worry thankyou for your consern bye from xxmolxx10

∙ 12y agoI would recommend giving your puppy a bath when its about 5-6 months old unless it imeditally needs one,id recomend filling the bath to about a inch above its paws and washing him or her with a soft cloth or sponge with dog shampoo (one with soap that's easy on the eyes just in case would be best) and rinsing him with the shower head. to make him or her calm you should give it treats or say "good boy/girl!" i hope this helps!

∙ 12y agoYour puppy will be safer if you wait until it is ten weeks before giving a tub bath, especially if is a small breed. Your puppy won't have a well developed immune system until it is 12 weeks, so the closer to that age, the better. You can give it a sweet- smelling safe bath with men's shaving cream. The cheapest ones are the best, as they don't have so much oil and additives. I use Colgate. Lemon or mint is fine. Just rub the puppy down with the foam, and dry with a towel or washcloth. This also makes a nice touch-up bath, or cold-weather bath between groomings for older dogs.

When you can give your puppy a bath?
i wouldn't give it a bath until at least a year and a half and make sure its warm not hot or not cold. another writer--I disagree, I don't think you have to wait until it is a year and a half. You can bathe them when they are a few weeks old. On the other hand, dogs don't need a bath every day like people. You don't need to bathe your puppy unless he gets dirty. I do agree that the water should be warm, not hot or cold, and also when you dry him a human hair drier on the hot setting is too hot for your dog. I like to bathe mine in hot weather, towel dry them and then let them dry themselves in the sun.
