When can you bathe chihuahua puppies?

Answer 1

You can give them spot baths at any time. This would be just like wiping them wipe a damp wash cloth, or a baby wipe.

Otherwise, wait until they are at least 3 weeks of age for a full bath. Make sure the water is lukewarm and you use puppy shampoo! Also, blow dry them on a low setting with the blow dryer at least 12 inches away so they don't catch a chill.

Answer 2

According to the sites I found - only when necessary. So very rarely should you even bathe an adult but they should be brushed daily. Hope some of this helps you.

Care and Training: The Short-haired Chihuahua should be brushed gently or wiped with a damp cloth. The Long-haired Chihuahua should be brushed daily with a soft bristle brush. Bathe your Chihuahua only when necessary. Check your Chihuahua ears regularly and keep their nails trimmed. A Chihuahua should be socialized early. Minimal exercise is required for both variety of the Chihuahua.

Answer 3

I'd say probably around the time when they're running around on their own and eating dry food.

Of course, if you've got a particularly dirty puppy who's still quite young, I'd recommend a warm sponge bath. Dry him or her off with a blow dryer set on low - you don't want them getting cold afterwards.

they say not to bathe a puppy until it's soft fluff fur is finally undercoat.... that's hard to tell sometimes..... i'd wait at least until it's 2 months old and had all of it's distemper shots (to date). you're not supposed to bathe a dog until it's had it's distemper shots cuz it can get sick.

hope this helps!! good luck!!
