What is a good age to give a puppy a bath?

my puppy is 6 weeks old she has fleas and we keep spraying the house and combing her but she keeps getting them can i give her a bath with soap and water?
Answers:
yes
Use Dawn (you know, dishsoap). It kills fleas...and don't worry, it's completely safe. My puppy was 5 1/2 weeks when we found her and we bathed her with Dawn to get rid of her fleas...it works great, and she was just fine.
Yes you sure can! Also after the bath get some Frontline for her this way the fleas will be gone ok.
Yes
When the mother stops baithing the pup it is time for you to start.
Yes! You can!
Try using Hartz Shampoo. It works really good. Here is a picture to show you what it looks like...

Anything similar to that will work too. And for the spray you might not be using the right one.

Try using that and you are sure to not get fleas in over a month or so. It kills the life cycle of a flea and all of their eggs. It really works. Then after about 2 days it starts to apply. Well good luck!
Don't worry giving your puppy a bath is not a problem at this age, and yes dawn is your best bet for the puppy. Good Luck and I hope she gets rid of those fleas.
Put it in the bathtub and and start running the water sit down on the edge and use a calming shampoo comfort the puppy its normal for dogs to try to get out of it give her a bath every week or so to let her get used to it thats what i wish i would have done! : )
you can do it now just make sure to use baby shampoo and warm but not hot water
