With the improvement of economic levels, many friends raise dogs at home. When we just start raising dogs, we often need to pay attention to some care issues. Only by understanding these can we better care for the dogs. Some friends are still unclear about the question of how many months old a newly bought puppy can take a bath, so let's understand it together below, hoping to help everyone.

1. Older than three months

Actually, if the newly bought puppy is less than three months old, try not to bathe it. Because before three months, the puppy’s constitution is still relatively weak. If bathed at this time, it is easy to get sick, so it must be avoided. Also, if the puppy is still getting vaccinated or deworming, bathing at this time is also bad for the puppy’s body, not only affecting the effectiveness of the medicine but possibly causing physical discomfort.

2. Bathing precautions

Usually, when bathing a puppy, avoid making the bathing time too long each time and also avoid frequent baths. If the frequency is too high, it can make the puppy sick. Puppies do not need to bathe as often as humans. Too frequent baths are not good and easily cause illness, especially for young puppies. The frequency can be controlled to about once every two weeks. Of course, after three months, you can actually start bathing them.

3. Take proper warming measures

When bathing a puppy, be sure to take proper warming measures in advance because without paying attention to warming, puppies can easily get sick. After the puppy finishes bathing, remember to use a hairdryer or drying machine to dry it promptly. For warming, if the bathroom has a heater, turn it on first, or turn on similar heating, prepare warm water in advance, test the water temperature first, then slowly bathe the puppy. Basically, this is enough. Overall, the puppy's bath time should not be too long, as that easily leads to catching a cold or fever.

That is all for the explanation about how many months old a puppy can take a bath. Have you learned? Actually, if a newly bought puppy is more than three months old and has finished vaccination and deworming, it can be bathed at home after one or two weeks. If under three months, do not rush to bathe it.
