How often should I bathe my puppy? How do I trim her long sharp tiny nails? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 3 months old

Mila should not be bathed more often than once every 6-8 weeks. You can use pet wipes to "spot clean" her between baths. You can use small clippers to clip just the points of her nails. If she has clear nails, you can visualize the "quick". It appears as the pink part within the nail. Do not clip it as it will bleed and hurt. Handle her feet frequently and use praise/rewards afterwards.
