COULD I BATH THEM YET??

NO FLEAS - NO PROBLEM JUST SMELLY DUE TO STARTING TO FEED PUPPY FOOD AND THEY GET ALL DIRTY!!!

YOUR ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED



Hi Evelyn
It's best not to bathe puppies until they're at least 7 weeks old, but I know how messy puppies can get when they first start on solid food.

With Cockers I expect their ears are in it and everything :o)

As long as you use a very mild puppy shampoo, and keep them nice and warm until they're totally dry there shouldn't be any problems in bathing them.

Check out my Bathing A Puppy page for tips and advice on making bath time a bit easier.

Best of luck with your puppies.
