Did you adopt a puppy? Congrats! Surely you enjoy your afternoons playing with him, you have already bought the essentials for your dog, and you can't help but smile when you look at your furry friend. However, you also have many doubts, such as how to bathe a puppy.
Calm down. It's normal for you to feel like you have more questions than answers. After all, having a dog at home is like being a parent for the first time.
The truth is that the puppy's first bath is a topic that generates controversy.
While some specialists argue that it should not be carried out before your furry friend finishes his first round of vaccination (around his three months), others point out that a puppy older than 8 weeks is ready to experience his first bath, as long as it is short, and you dry him well afterward.
Our advice? Consult with your trusted vet. No one is better than him to guide you and give you an informed opinion.
That depends on each breed... and each particular situation.
If your puppy lives in the garden and likes to roll in the dirt every day, he will surely need a bath more often than a puppy that lives in an apartment. In general, it's recommended a monthly bath.
Of course, some breeds need more grooming than others, as their fur gets more oily.
The first step will be to choose where you are going to bathe your puppy. If he's a small breed, you won't have much of a problem. Now, if he is a Saint Bernard or a Dogue de Bordeaux, the options will be more limited even if he is a puppy.
Then, prepare everything you need for the bath; that is, the special puppy shampoo and conditioner, two washcloths for his face, a towel, a brush, and a canine hairdryer ... or yours.
