When can you first bathe a puppy?
PAWY Dog Shampoo is safe to use as a puppy shampoo from 6 weeks of age, and should not be used on puppies under 6 weeks. Keep first baths short, warm and calm so bath time starts as a positive experience. If you are unsure whether your puppy is ready for a first bath, ask your vet.

What age is puppy shampoo safe from?
From 6 weeks. PAWY Dog Shampoo for Sensitive Skin is formulated to be gentle enough for puppies from 6 weeks of age while still cleaning effectively, and it remains suitable for adult dogs of every breed and coat type, so one bottle covers the household from first coat onwards.
How often should you wash a dog?
How often should you wash a dog?
It depends on coat type and lifestyle: a dog that swims or rolls in mud needs washing more often than a short-coated house dog. Overwashing can leave any dog's coat dull, so wash when the coat is actually dirty or smelly rather than to a fixed calendar. PAWY Dog Shampoo is pH balanced and gentle enough for regular bathing at home, with a no-rinse dry shampoo covering the freshen-ups in between.

What shampoo should I use for a dog with sensitive skin?
Look for a pH balanced, gentle formula with skin-comforting ingredients. PAWY Dog Shampoo for Sensitive Skin is pH balanced and enriched with Aloe Vera Extract to help keep skin moisturised and comfortable while lifting dirt, mud and odour from the coat. It suits dogs with sensitive or dry skin across all breeds and coat types.
Can I use baby shampoo on my puppy?
Can I use baby shampoo on my puppy?
It is better not to. Products made for human babies are formulated for human skin, and a dog's skin sits at a different pH, so a puppy-specific shampoo is the safer choice. PAWY Dog Shampoo is formulated for canine skin, is pH balanced, and is safe for puppies from 6 weeks of age.
How do I bathe a dog that hates water?
How do I bathe a dog that hates water?
Two options. For a full bath: warm (not hot) water, a calm voice, a non-slip surface and a quick routine. Dilute PAWY Dog Shampoo 1:5 with water, massage into a lather, leave 3 to 5 minutes, rinse well, brush and towel dry. Between baths, skip the water entirely with PAWY Dog Dry Shampoo, a no-rinse foam that cleans and freshens without a bath. Our guide "How to Wash a Dog That Hates Water" covers both.
