Well, if its a small dog, maybe wait for two years, so they grow to their biggest size, until them, just place them in the bath with no water and just put dog shampoo, wet your hands, wet the dog with wet hands, hazahh! Shiny wet dog~
Larger Dogs:
Wait a year. Then you can be sure they are ready. It may be new to him, but he will get used to it~
until puppies are able to eat wet dog food (estimate: i month old)
How long do you have to wait before you can bath puppies?
About 4 weeks.Then the puppies get teeth that hurts the mother.
If the puppies are with the mother then you should keep them with her until 8 weeks of age. The mother will instinctively wean the puppies on her own, but you may need to help her by removing her from the puppies. The puppies can technically be taken away after 6 weeks, but the longer the puppies are with the mother the better because they will learn from their mother.
The mother canine will tend for her young ... it's best not to handle these puppies until they are "weaned" from their mother - about eight weeks after birth. If the parent dog is not doing this, contact your veterinarian for advice.
6-8 weeks
You can but you should be careful, the mother will be very protective until they are six weeks old. If you touch puppies before then the mother may not feed them and then the puppies will die. And if you want them to stay alive please don't touch them and then you don't have to worry about the puppies dying. You can handle newborns if the mother isn't feeding them it doesn't mean they will die you can bottle feed them
Yes. Just as long as you keep the mother with her pups,obviously. It depends on the mother dog. More specifically, on how much she trusts you. Some mother dogs will ignore puppies who have been handled by someone. It's best not to touch or move newborn pups unless it's absolutely necessary.
t's not recommended but as long as someone is watching the puppies and its only for like 4 mins.
I usually bath my bitches when they start weaning the pups at around 6-7 weeks. I give them 'blanket baths' before that with baby wipes.
Pitbulls are short haired dogs and they are not born with long fur.
As long as the Mother dog knows you and it doesn't bother her. The pups should be handled daily from the day they are born on. This is very important to do.
As long as the mother is in apparent good health there is nothing to worry about. The only concern would be for the mother as the venom could not be passed through the milk.
