Can you give your 3 week old puppy a bath?

Answer 1

Yes. Make sure that you use a very mild soap or puppy shampoo. Dont get any water in its ears and eyes. Make sure the pup gets dried completely before you give it back to the mother. Dont let it get cold.

Answer 2

Generally, no. The mother will usually clean her puppies regularly. There is also a very high chance of them getting very sick, so it is ideal to wait until they are older. If a puppy becomes dirty, just gently use a warm damp cloth or towel to clean the area.

Answer 3

Yes you can bath a 7 week old puppy. I suggest you put some vaseline in his or her eyes first or some type of other eye ointment that is safe for dogs in order to protect their eyes from the soap.

Answer 4

Using a moist cloth and gently wiping the puppy off would be a better idea than submersing it in a bath.

Remember the mother would normailly clean it herself but licking.

Answer 5

Absolute not. At that age the mother should still be licking the puppy to keep it clean.

Answer 6

Ask your vet not some random person off the internet !!

Answer 7

No. First you have to go to the vet and you can only give the puppy a bath when he has all the vaccines or at least the third one. Hoped I helped you

Answer 8
