Introducing Water. When they're about 3 weeks of age you can introduce puppies to water by providing a shallow water dish outside the whelping box or sleeping area. Puppies at this age are beginning to explore their environments and will be able to find the dish. They will invariably make a mess.
In general, puppies don't need to be bathed unless they're visibly dirty or smelly. Puppies -- and older dogs -- need the natural oils in their fur to keep their coats and skin healthy. Most dog shampoos are for dogs around 3 months old or older, but you can still bathe younger puppies if need be.utting a puppy in some warm, shallow water for a shampoo-less bath can be beneficial to both her and you. Breeds that require a lot of grooming will benefit from getting used to bath time at a young age. In fact, a puppy's early introduction to a bath can also benefit you, no matter what breed she is.
