When can you take a newborn puppie bath?

You should not bathe a newborn puppy.

Here's why:

* Very young puppies are vulnerable: Their immune systems are still developing, and they can easily get sick.

* They need their natural oils: These oils help protect their skin and keep them warm.

* Bathing can cause hypothermia: Newborn puppies can't regulate their body temperature very well, and getting wet can make them cold.

When can you bathe a puppy?

* Wait until they are at least 6 weeks old.

* Check with your veterinarian: They can advise you based on the specific breed and health of your puppy.

Important Note: Even after 6 weeks, baths should be infrequent and done with gentle, puppy-safe shampoo.
