Do puppies have to have three injections before they can be bathed?

Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to bathe puppies before they have received three doses of vaccination. This is to protect the health and safety of your puppy.

A puppy's immune system gradually develops and matures over the months after birth until it completes its vaccination course. During this period, puppies may not have sufficient resistance to some common pathogens. When bathing, your puppy's skin is exposed to water and the environment, increasing the risk of contracting disease.

Therefore, it is generally recommended to bathe the puppy after it has completed three doses of vaccination. This usually occurs when puppies are around 16 to 20 weeks old, but the exact timing can vary based on your veterinarian's advice.

However, if the puppy is in a special situation (such as being soiled or smelly), you can use a wet towel or special puppy cleaning product to gently wipe the puppy's body instead of completely immersing it in water for a bath.

Please consult your veterinarian for accurate advice on your puppy's specific situation and bathing times. Your veterinarian can provide you with the most appropriate advice to ensure your puppy's health and safety.
