Puppies can and should be bathed regularly after the age of 8 weeks. Introducing them to the bathing process at an early age will make the process easier when they are full-grown. The experience is also a wonderful opportunity to bond with your new puppy. The puppy coat goes through many stages. Using Isle of Dogs™ No. 01 Puppy Formula shampoo will help the transition and keep the skin healthy. An added bonus is that shedding will be reduced.
Younger puppies are less tolerant of chills and too-hot water. It is VERY important to use warm water during the bathing process and even more important to keep the puppy out of drafts or cold weather until his/her coat and skin is completely dry. |
