How often can I safely bathe my puppy? Will it make him sick or stressed?

Question

How often can i bathe my puppy? My sister in-law says i should wait atleast 15 days to bathe him again because it causes stress in dogs and he'll get sick. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 24 days old

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can consider waterless shampoo which you can use with a towel and it does a pretty good job. You can use this for the next month or so to allow Luffy to get a little older to be able to bathe him more frequently. The main reason for this is that puppies less than 2 months old cannot regulate their temperature as well as older pups. I think waterless shampoo which you can get at your local pet store would work great for you. Good luck!
