At 5 weeks of age your puppy should still be with its mother, nursing occassionally and eating puppy chow. At 6-8 weeks she can be completely weaned and on puppy food only. I would recommend a large breed puppy food from Hills, Royal Canin, or Purina. You should check her weight regularly and feed her the amount listed on the back of the bag that is appropriate for her weight. The amount to be fed can vary greatly between brands so a general amount can’t be given. As far as bathing goes, you can bathe her with a gentle shampoo, like aloe and oatmeal, once every 2 weeks or so. Just be sure she is nice and dry before she goes outside in the colder temperatures. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck with your new puppy!
