Question
my schitzu pup is 8 weeks old, can I take her a bath now? Do I use regular soap? Thank you.

Answer
Hello Aida, Yes, you can give her a bath but be careful to not get water inside the ears.  You can break up a cotton ball and put 1/2 in one ear and 1/2 in the other ear.  ( to keep large amounts of water out of the ear canal)

Please get some doggie puppy shampoo for your baby.
BEST wishes

Welcome to our Group! ( No PETA talk here.... thanks)

Unfortunately, most veterinary schools provide inadequate education on basic canine and feline nutrition.
Nutrition may occupy as little as a one week long seminar in their many years of education to become veterinarians.
For answers to nutrition they look to pet food manufacturers, which readily supply them with specialty, preventative diets for all life stages and ailments. Such an example is the Science Diet / Hill's Brand.
BY-THE-WAY - Be nice or you will be Removed from the group*
