i found a mother and her new puppies on the side of my house well they have fleas i know u can use the dawn dish soap to get rid of the fleas but how young can they beCan i give a 4 day old puppy a bath with dawn dish soap?
No, if these puppies are only 4 days old and have fleas, they probably have other issues, too. You need to get them to a vet.Can i give a 4 day old puppy a bath with dawn dish soap?
BETTER CHECK WITH A VET,THAT IS REAL YOUNG,BUT YOU NEED TO GET THE FLEA'S OFF THE MOTHER////ASK THE VET WHAT TO USE/////THE FLEA STUFF MIGHT HARM THE LITTLE ONE'S THIS EARLY
What Age to Bathe a Puppy
You should not bath puppies younger than 8 weeks old.
Puppies under 8 weeks can be rinsed with plain water and puppy wipes, but I would stay away from puppy shampoos. And, definitely stay away from any flea and tick shampoo.
If older than 8 weeks old, you can bath the puppy with a gentle puppy shampoo. Make sure to stay to keep the shampoo away from the puppies eyes and ears.
If you choose to use a flea and tick shampoo on your puppy, you should really wait until the puppy is at least 3 months old. If your puppy is suffering from fleas and, or, ticks, you can speak with your veterinarian about Capstar, a pill used to kill fleas and ticks on dogs. Otherwise, he may have another suggestion.
Please take these dogs to your vet for a check up.
Your vet can advise you on the best way to get rid of the fleas - and no, Dawn doesn't work.
dawn should be find. it's used to clean animals all over the world because it has no harsh chemicals. just be very careful around the faces. and please take the mother to the vet and get her checked out. i had a dog, exact same situation, she had puppies on the side of my house and i took her in but i also took her to the vet. it turns out she had heartworms so i got her treatment. i'm just glad i took her to the vet.
They need to see a vet. If you aren't willing to do that, please surrender them to a shelter/rescue. They need vet care.
No. If you want to wash your pup wipe her with a wet towel, make sure to avoid getting water in eyes, ears, and nose. When your puppy gets a little older start using shampoo, they have great puppy/dog shampoo at the store and it's only a couple of bucks.

no, the dog is WAY to young to be exposed to the chemicals that are in dish soap.
you should take the puppy to a vet and explain the situation, they can properly clean him up and probably even show you how to take care of them.
please please do not do this yourself, i had an old roommate once who had two very young kittens and tried to bathe to get rid of the fleas, and one of them died that night because of it.
No, they need to go to the vet. They could have open infections and the soap on them will only make it worse.
VET ASAP
No do not give a 4 day old pup a bath, please take them all to the VET or give them to someone who will.
Go ahead and give them a bath. Do not let the puppies inhale any water. Luke warm water. Leave the soap on for several minutes to ';drown'; the fleas. Don't excess bathe.
Edit: They will do the exact same thing at a vet before they pump the pup full of Capstar.
