Is it safe to bathe my 5-week-old puppy? What about flea shampoo?

No, it is not recommended. Bathe him in warm water and some Dawn dish liquid. Use a fine toothed comb to remove dead or dying fleas. Dry him thoroughly afterwards and make sure he doesn't get chilled.

I never consider flea shampoo safe to use, so my answer is no, instead if he has fleas i would recommend using one of the followings (which you can use right away): Bravecto, Nexgard, Advantage, Comfortis.

Cocoa is not old enough for her first vaccines until she is at least six weeks of age. She should not be showered until she is at least three months of age unless she is very dirty. You can use Frontline Spray on her for the fleas, it's safe to use on dogs as young as two days of age.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Coco will likely be just fine as long as this was a flea shampoo intended for dogs, and none of it got into his eyes. I recommend drying him gently with a towel and ensuring he stays warm enough. If he stops eating or drinking, or begins showing any unusual clinical signs such as wobbliness, trembling, or seizures, or he starts squinting his eyes, he should be seen by a veterinarian right away. I hope this is helpful!

Aw Snoopy is adorable! Yes you can bathe him but I would use something very gentle like a puppy shampoo. I do not recommend using a flea shampoo as these can sometimes be too strong for puppies. You can bathe him every 2-3 weeks unless he gets really muddy/stinky and needs a bath otherwise. I hope this helps!

8 weeks old is the minimum age to begin bathing a puppy. Use a pet approved shampoo for puppies sensitive skin. She can be bathed every 6-8 weeks. You can use plain, unscented baby wipes or pet wipes to spot clean her in between baths. If you bathe her at night, dry her thoroughly and keep her war to prevent chill. It is best to bath her early in the day so she has ample time to dry off and doesn't go to sleep damp.

Hello, yes you may. Flea shampoo for dogs are generally safe, although some dogs may want to ingest the shampoo can develop some vomiting or diarrhea from it. Make sure you rinse him thoroughly to remove any excessive shampoo from his coat and do not let him lick or ingest any of the shampoo. Hope this helps and best of luck.
