bathing?
just got a 5 week chow chow, and im just wondering when can i start bathing him?
Re: bathing?
Any time you want.
I would use a gentle, puppy shampoo and make sure to rinse, rinse and rinse.
Also, you must make sure to dry thoroughly using a dryer, so there are no wet or damp spots that could lead to skin irritations.

Re: bathing?
And do not bathe him weekly. This is too much and could dry out his skin, even if it is a puppy shampoo. NEVER use people shampoo, not even for babies.
5 weeks is really young to be away from mommy, why so early?

Thanks SweetPea!
Re: bathing?
Although they do bath show chows every week and most don't have any problems.
But, I guess they really do a lot of rinsing and a whole lot of drying and conditioning.

Alf was bathed weekly most of his life (smelly, dirty chowboy!) & never had an issue. Just rinse, rinse, rinse & dry, dry, dry! Millie only gets bathed as required & does fine
Please look in the 'best of training' section for how to teach your puppy bite inhibition. being away from his / her siblings as this early an age can cause a lot of issues & this is your most important one to address asap.
