immediately wash your puppy in fresh water. rinse it off under under luke warm running water in the sink. Check its skin for damage, excessive reddening. If your puppy does have skin lesions or if it inhaled any of the bleach water or ingested it, you will need to take it to a per emergency room right away, Bleach water in the lungs or stomach is life-threatening.
