The mother dog keeps the puppies clean until they are around 6 - 8 weeks old. After that time, she has already begun weaning them, and is not cleaning them as she did when they were newborns.

So from 6 - 8 weeks is when it's saft to bathe a puppy, but be sure to use a shampoo made especially for puppies. Never, ever use a shampoo for people, and if you need one for flea control, make sure the label says it's safe for puppies.

Usually. The earlier and more often you give a puppy a bath, the easier it will be to give them a bath when they're bigger. They will be used to the water and shouldn't try and escape.
