I read that it is unnecessary to bathe them at any point in time under 5 months since their immunities are just starting to develop.

Anyways, long story short, my idiotic brother decided that our little friend was smelly because of accidents and decided to give him a bath when I was asleep.

The puppy is 1 day shy of 12 weeks old and the shampoo he used was for Dogs and Puppies. The green bottle labeled Sergeants shampoo for ticks and fleas.

The back says not to use on puppies under 12 weeks of age. That would mean a day too soon.

But even then, most training books say not to bathe until 4-5 months of age.

My vet has said that it is okay to bathe them but just be careful and gentle.

When I heard the guy making puppy noises from inside, I knew he had gotten bathed and my brother heard the longest lecture and yelling in his life.

I completely dried the little guy off though and he seems fine at the moment. Do you guys think bathing him a day too soon from the recommendations of the shampoo bottle did harm?
