Hello there! Yes you can give your young puppies a bath. I would recommend using a gentle puppy shampoo and take extra precautions, even thought it is summer time, to make sure they stay warm. Just dry them off well and keep them close by so you can monitor them after the bath. Do not submerge them in water and I wouldn't recommend getting their heads and faces fully wet. Just use a wet cloth to wipe down their heads. I hope this information is helpful to you. I wish you and Daisy and all the rest of the puppies all the best. Dr. Angela Hinton
