My puppies are nine weeks old (2months and a week) could I use mild...?

Question

Should I use mild flea shampoo or just a regular soothibng shampoo, or jus t none at all?

Answer 1

a good friend of mine breed dogs, and she usually keeps a baby pool in the yard and keeps it clean, and baths them in that, but she uses mild soothing shampoo. and if they dont have shots, dont bath them. you can purchase mass quanties of the shots from your vet and do the shots by yourself to keep prices low.

Answer 2

Flea shampoos and flea collars are not effective. If you think they have fleas you can go get frontline plus. It is very comprehensive and will soak into their skin in a matter of minutes. It is safe to use on puppies older than 8wks. of age. If you think it is something else, such as skin mites, you should take them to the vet for a check up. Don't treat for fleas unless you see them or you have had pets with fleas in your home recently. GL

Answer 3

I assume that the puppies do have fleas? Normal, regular Dawn dishwashing liquid or Ivory dishwashing liquid, not the automatic dishwasher kind. Bathe them in the tub or sink with the Dawn. Let it sit on them for about 5 minutes and then rinse...and rinse some more. The soap suffocates the fleas and they die! It's a great & SAFE option for any age of dog or cat! Happy Washing!!!

Answer 4

I would wait until their 4-6 months old for their first bath and don't use flea shampoo .Use puppy shampoo or sensitive skin shampoo

Answer 5

If their shots are up to date then you can bateh them...if not not even consider bathing them at all. There are shampoos specifically for puppies..can buy them from any store that sells pet product even ur regular supermarket...this are gentle on puppies delicate skin..most flee shampoos are not suitable for use on puppies under 6 months of age

Answer 6

get baby shampoo for your puppies then if it gets in there eyes it diesnt sting, and it is easy on there fur and skin, it makes them soft.
