First Bath? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

gidgetsmom · 08-02-2006, 05:52 PM

My puppies are 7 weeks old and they need a bath bad. They will have their first shots next Tuesday. Are they old enough to give a bath yet? My husband has been after me but I want to wait until they have had shots or am I just being to paranoid? Opinions plez!!!!!

I dont breed, so I'm not sure when they should get their first bath. Sorry

I got Chachi at 6 weeks and gave him a bath so I think they would be okay to get a bath

I waited until 8 weeks to give Adrianna a bath.....that's only because she was so tiny! LOL, not like she has gotten that much bigger! (Just under 3lbs)

I am not a breeder either, but as long as they are in the house I don't see why it would hurt....

We just gave James his first bath at 10 weeks he did fine but afterward he was really cold and shaking so I wraped him in a towel the blowdried as much as I could then held him in a blanket until he was warmed up. He looked so cute all wet though

We got our puppy at 6 weeks and gave him a bath the next morning. lol. He was perfectly fine, health-wise. He was shivering and scared but we wrapped in a towel and held him until he was dry again. I recommend drying him with a blow dryer to keep him warm and also dry him.
