Things You'll Need
- Washcloth
- Warm water
- Towel
- Electric hair dryer
- Heat lamp or heating pad
Instructions
Dip a soft washcloth in warm water. No shampoo is necessary at this point; a puppy's skin is very sensitive.
Gently wash the puppies. Clean off any leftover residue from the amniotic sac.
Dry the puppy. Rub off any excess moisture with a clean towel. Use a hair dryer on the lowest setting if necessary.
Keep the puppy warm. Place the puppy next to her mother and siblings for body heat. Use a heating pad or heat lamp to provide extra warmth for the dogs.
