My dog got vaccinated yesterday. When can I give him a bath?

I would recommend bathing her before the vaccines, because dogs often become sore for 24-48 hrs after their vaccines. Best of luck at the vet and take care of Lola Blue. I hope everything goes well.

Hello, Toby may not be allowed to get a bath due to him being too young and the potential that he could be come too cold after his bath. Other potential reasons could include that he may be a little sick from his injection and thus giving him a bath may again make him too cold and make him feel worse. If you do give him a bath, make sure its with luke warm water and that you dry him off completely after his bath. Hope this helps and best of luck.

There isn't a problem bathing a puppy prior to vaccinations, but I would recommend separating them by a few hours. You want to make sure that Oliver's skin and coat is completely dry and that his body temperature is normal before vaccinating him. I hope that was helpful and answered your question.

Hmm... that's definitely very strange! I have never heard of anyone being told not to bathe their puppy until vaccines are finished, and have never given this advice myself - like you, I can't think of any reason at all why this would matter. I suspect that there may have been a misunderstanding, so I would suggest calling your vet's office and speaking to a different employee (or the vet, if possible) to clarify :)

Yes you can bathe your pets using a puppy shampoo only. They can regulate their body temperature by week 2. And you should start vaccinating them when they are 6-8 weeks of age, but typically we start at 8 weeks. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best wishes with your new puppies! Take care.

The reason for waiting for a few days is to make sure the small hole from the chip injection is sealed over. This usually happens very quickly, so you should be fine to give Jac a bath tonight. If you find a scab at the back of his neck where the chip was injected, do not pull the scab off. It will fall off on its own once it is completely healed. Good luck!

In general yes but you should wait until your pup is completely recovered. I recommend to discuss the timing of the first bath with your veterinarian as they are most familiar with your pup and it’s recovery. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
