Can you wash a 4 week puppy?

It is generally not recommended to wash a 4-week-old puppy. Puppies younger than 8 weeks old do not have a fully developed immune system and are more susceptible to hypothermia and illness. Additionally, bathing a puppy too early can dry out their skin and cause irritation.

If your 4-week-old puppy is soiled, you can spot-clean them with a gentle, warm, wet cloth. Avoid using harsh soaps or shampoos, as these can irritate their skin.

It is best to wait until your puppy is at least 8 weeks old and has received their first round of vaccinations before giving them a full bath. This will help ensure that they are strong enough to tolerate the bathing process and are less likely to become ill.
