Exclamation Bathing Your Young Puppy (Kitten)

Bathing a pet can be a harrowing experience for both the pet and their owner and using the correct shampoo is important. Dogs that are under the age of 8 weeks cannot be bathed using a flea and tick shampoos because of the insecticides that are in the shampoos are harmful. For pets under the age of 8 weeks, use Johnson & Johnson's Baby Shampoo and follow with the conditioner after the shampoo is rinsed out. Baby shampoo is mild and gentle and is safe to use on dogs and kittens under the age of 8 weeks. Any fleas that are on the animals will die.

Once an animal reaches 8 weeks and over then a stronger flea and tick shampoo can be used if you prefer or you can continue using Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo and
conditioner. Be sure and rinse all of the shampoo and conditioner out of your pet's fur because the thoroughness of this final rinsing is important. Even the smallest amount of soap and or conditioner left on the aniI LOVE DOGS!mal can cause severe irritation of the skin and this is one of the most common causes of eczemas in animals. Bathing your pet at home will also save you lots of cash each month. The average price to bath a dog runs about $25.00. This is just to bathe the animal.

Yes, it is very, very important to rinse the shampoo off the dog real well because I haven't rinsed enough several times in the past and it caused dandruff.
