What tyoe of water should i wash my puppy in?

Im kind of a new owner and i wanted to know what kind of water i should wash my puppy in. Hot, Cold, Or Warm?What tyoe of water should i wash my puppy in?
Warm in general, but if he or she is really hot, then use cool water and vice versa is he or she is really cold.What tyoe of water should i wash my puppy in?
warm water, You don't want to scald their skin, and You also don't want them to get too cold.





Since your a new owner here are the facts about bathing:





Don't use Hartz or any other flea shampoo. especially Hartz, the chemical they use can be toxic to puppies and kittens if you don't follow the directions. (never use cat shampoo on a dog or dog shampoo on a cat either) Flea shampoos only kill the fleas that are on the dog at the moment they do NOT prevent reinfestation.





Use a moisturizing oatmeal vitamin E type shampoo, preferably something your Vet recommends.





Only bathe once every 2-3 weeks, bathing more often will dry out their skin, they'll look crusty and be itchy.





Don't make a big deal or a lot of excitement out of the bath. Make it ';just another routine'; This prevents your wet dog from jumping out of the tub half sudsy and trapsing through your house with you screaming after it.





Use a doggy oatmeal conditioner.





Trim their nails at the same time as giving them a bath. This makes nail trimming ';just another routine'; also.
Wash it in warm water, more leaning to the cold-warm. If your dog is too cold, the worst that can happen is it can catch a cold (which is bad), but if the water is too hot, it can permanently damage your dog's skin. To test the water temperature, put your elbow in the water and if it feels quite right, you can put your dog in the water. If your dog starts shivering you can try adding a BIT of warm water gradually.
Warm. And try oatmeal based shampoo. Very good for puppy, and sensitive skin types of skin. Also, do not bathe a dog more than once a month. If you do their skin will dry out and become irritated and itchy. Make sure you rinse the shampoo out very well, and dry him off thoroughly.
Wam %26amp; not a lot of it. Use proper puppy shampoo not human stuff.


Always make sure h is try before you go outside uring the cold winter months. A bath once a month max will be ok.
Wet. Wet water usually works best.








Oh, you meant temperature! Oh, OK. In that case, warm is best, like you would bathe an infant in.








I hope I made you smile today.
Wash your Puppy with warm water.
Warm, test it with your elbow just like you were getting it ready for a baby.
Lukewarm, nothing warmer than you'd wash an infant in.
Warm.
always warm. doesn't matter what age.
what temp would you bathe a child?
