Answer 1

You may bath her now.. use puppy shampoo or baby shampoo so the soap does not burn her eyes... you would not want her to have an unpleasant first experience hon.

Answer 2

Terri, if you are quick with the bath and have a warm towel for afterwords, so the puppy doesn't get chilled and either take him out in the warm sun to dry or blow dry him (carefull blow driers get real hot fast) he should be OK. Puppies have fallen into water even younger than that and have survived but be carefull about him getting chilled that's the worst part get him warm and dry as quick as you can after the bath.

Answer 3

yes you can use your bath tub or kitchen sink use dog shampoo not human shampoo. make the water 100 degrees test like you would for a baby`s formula to make sure the water isn`t too hot or cold. the younger puppy is the time to get him used to a bath.pour shampoo into hads and lather all over don`t forget his tail do head last watch not to get soap in his eyes or his ears. drain water and put clean water for rinse or take a cup and rinse off. it`s important to get all the soap off him.gentlly pour water over head tipping his nose downwrap. with a towel and dry do head head drying last you can use a hair dryer on low to drybut care you can burn him. I suggust just a towel and let air dry . my dog lays down and I cover him up he lays there till he dry

Now, we bathed ours starting at about 7 or 8 weeks . It is time for the shots and worming. She can get worms from the dirt.

Answer 6

hi i have just brought a 8 week old boxer puppy and i rang my local vet up and they said that i could bath her at any time but be careful of her ears and eyes and get puppy shampoo

Answer 7

why do you have her so young? why didn't the breeder give her her first set of shots? did the breeder worm her?? ugh,, go ahead and give a bath, with puppy shampoo and rinse very thoroughly.... if you let the dirt dry on the pup and brush thoroughly you will not have to bath

Answer 8

particular, he will rapidly study the hot call. i grow to be nonetheless figuring out what to call my doggy (now 13 weeks outdated) whilst he grow to be 9 weeks outdated and approximately 2 days after i made a determination, he began responding to it. They study issues so rapidly at that age, it heavily isn't a project. in actuality, I examine at present that often, coaching/displaying a youthful doggy something thrice is oftentimes adequate for them to %. it up.

Answer 9

In the kitchen sink, i did it with my wee puppy, always use Johnstones and Johnstones baby shampoo, what the vet told me to use!!! xx

Answer 10

Good luck and happiness with your new puppy.
