when can you shower a puppy

It is generally recommended to wait until puppies are at least eight weeks old before giving them a bath. This allows them to develop their natural oils, which protect their skin and coat. Before giving a puppy a bath, it is important to prepare a warm, draft-free area where the puppy can be safely washed and dried. It is also important to use a mild, puppy-specific shampoo and avoid getting water in the puppy's ears or eyes. After bathing, be sure to thoroughly dry the puppy to prevent chilling.
