Pavi can have a bath at any time and you should use a dog shampoo. Just make sure the water is a comfortable temperature, avoid getting water in her face, and dry her well and keep her warm after the bath.

    Hello. You can bathe your puppy at any time. I would use a product labeled for puppies & kittens or just use a mild oatmeal based shampoo. You can bathe her every week or so as necessary. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
