You betcha...just watch the eyes and ears...try not to get them wet...if you do, make sure you dry them out. Also a very mild puppy shampoo (available at the petstore) should do the trick. If you are bathing in the tub, jump in there with him to make sure the experience of bathing isn't scary...if this is the first time you want it to be a positive experience as it will happen a ton afterwards! I was scared at first with my 3 month old pup...but after the initial "what the **** is this" (20 seconds) he was splashing away, loving every bit! Have a fun bath time!!

Absolutely! Take the same precautions as you would with a newborn baby. Make sure the water is warm, not too hot. You should use a soap free puppy shampoo, it won't dry the skin & coat like human shampoos will. Towel dry, blow drying on warm will keep the puppy from staying chillled too long. It's best to bathe at night that way the puppy won't be going outside & get chilled.

Certainly, use warm water and a gentle shampoo, NO flea shampoo yet. Hold your pup and talk to it gently, try not to get water into its eye, nose and ears. Just use a wash cloth to bathe its face and ears. Make sure you dry your pup well or it could get a chill. Keep it inside for a couple of hours to dry. Be ready for your pup to shake, rattle and roll after its bath, that is how they dry off. They will rub on the floor and roll and run around alot. Take pictures of before and after - they are adorably cute when they get all wet.

Preferably not... actually its still too young and still weak. Immune system is not really build up yet also. If you dont really know how to handle her, she might get sick. You can always bath ur pup using the dry method. Trying purchasing dry powder. It works the same way... removing excessive oil and dirts from body.
but if you really do want to bath it, do it in enclosed area and make sure no cold wind is blowing. make sure the water is in tub and lukewarm *NOT WARM just lukewarm* Try not to play/bath too long and make sure you dry ur pup immedietly. Make sure its dry thoroughly.
You can bath your pup when it's older about 3 months+ or so.... and can always enjoy bathing her then!

Yes but use a puppy tearless shampoo and dont get into ears, use the kitchen sink and wait untill completely dry before taking outside. Good Luck and congratulations!

Sure, just use a gentle shampoo. I always just use baby shampoo on my dog. Don't bathe him more than absolutely needed though, as it can cause dry skin.

I don't see why not? Use common sense, though and use neutral soap or whatever the vet recommends and for his/her own sake: Do not take it outside!! It's cold and it could die of pneumonia! Towel dry it and keep it inside. It is still a baby.

yes, make sure that you take him outside before
then wash with baby puppy shampoo
after you wash
towel dry
make sure that ears inside and out are very dry (ear aches)
if you blow dry not close and on a low setting
make sure that he is dry before he goes out again
so he wil not get a chill.

Yes, in fact, it's a good thing to start them early and get them used to it.
Use a mild, tear free, Puppy shampoo
