how many weeks does a puppy have to be to get a bath?

Answer 1

You can bathe them at anytime....just be sure you dry him well. It's good to start early so your puppy gets used to having baths.

Answer 2

We usually wait until the puppies are 3-4 weeks old to get them a bath. (Our 8 full blooded standard poodles need another bath soon, they are 8 weeks old on Friday)

Answer 3

The younger you get them used to being groomed the better. Handling their paws, brushing them ect. I think most puppy shampoos are safe between 8 and 12 weeks check the labels. If the pup is too young you could use a damp wash cloth or baby wipes, I would use all natural wipes.

Answer 4

I think this depends on how dirty they get. If their not dirty than dont bathe them if they are then you can give them a bath at 6 weeks old. You just have to make sure they are very dry and kept warm.

Answer 5

A puppy has to be about 5 1/2 weeks 2 give it a bath.

Answer 9

You should wait til they are at least 10-12 weeks of age.. If they aren't dirty don't wash them...

Answer 10

Depends what it got into. Don't want the mother to reject/alienate it cause of a new smell.
