Any Q

Puppy Bath Time Is Happy Bathe your puppy once a week for the first three or four weeks, then once a month until they are six months old, then at least twice a year after. Then, bath-time should be a peaceful non event for your dog. He won't be scared when he sees the shampoo come out.


How often can I give my puppy a bath?

You should bathe your puppy about no more than once a month unless necessary. Puppies and adult dogs have natural oils in their coat to prevent their fur from getting brittle or damaged and to keep it soft and silky. Bathing your dog too often can strip away those oils.

Can I bathe my puppy once a week?

Yes, if you and your pups are very active, a once a week is okay. Weekly or bi-weekly bathing can prevent itchiness, washing allergens away before they get a chance to penetrate the skin.

How often do you bathe a 7 week old puppy?

If your puppy is less than 8 weeks old, it's not a good idea to give him a bath. For puppies that are older than 8 weeks but younger than 6 months old, you should bathe them once per month. Once your puppy gets older than 6 months old, it may be necessary to bathe him more frequently.
