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.
Also, make sure the water is warm enough for them to enjoy it.....around 60Â° degrees at least. One of the best ways to introduce a dog to water for the first time is have a buddy system. If you have another dog, whether yours or a friends, that enjoys the water bring them along. Dogs learn a lot from other dogs.
