There isn't really a problem because I gave him Advantage with Heartworm Protection drops 3 weeks ago. But that shampoo that we had was for puppies and had flea and tick prevention in it.

I have a question though. When is it actually ok to really bathe them and when is it a no-no? I know obviously the first few weeks is a no but after 5-6 weeks is ok?

wow 10 corgi litter? that must be something to see lol. I see your idea behind the bathing though. that makes sense to dilute it.

yeah the breeder did actually give him a bath before he left. she told me she has given him 2 baths total. once at 6 weeks and once before he left (10 weeks). she said to do it very gentle normally with a warm wet towel and then quickly dry him off and make sure the environment he is in while drying off is warm and not cold.
