Yes you can bathe your pets using a puppy shampoo only. They can regulate their body temperature by week 2. And you should start vaccinating them when they are 6-8 weeks of age, but typically we start at 8 weeks. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best wishes with your new puppies! Take care.
