Is sergeant's shampoo and conditioner safe for 8 week old puppies?

I use it on my puppy who's very close to that age, and I have used it since she was around 5 weeks. My vet not only says it is okay to use, she recommends it.Is sergeant's shampoo and conditioner safe for 8 week old puppies?
Puppies can start being weaned as soon as they start getting teeth. I recommend weaning as early as five weeks, starting gradually. Offer them very moistened puppy chow. A nursing puppy with teeth is very painful for the mother...Give her a break and start them early...As far as the shampoo, it is fine...just avoid eyes...To be on the safe side, read the shampoo instructions. I know you aren't supposed to use it on the mother while she has nursing puppies...Is sergeant's shampoo and conditioner safe for 8 week old puppies?
I personally wouldn't use it. I do know that Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo works AWESOME and kills fleas too! Good Luck!
do not give dog bath this early mother dog will keep pups clean
It says right on the bottle what ages it is safe for. Read it. If it does not say safe for puppies over 6 weeks, then find one that does say that. There are many that are safe.
It should say on the bottle whether or not it is safe. You could also check with the vet, a groomer, or the breeder. They should know.
Stay away from Sergeants and Hartz shampoos..they are crap!


Get a mild puppy shampoo and conditioner. I believe Petco and Petsmart sell Fresh n Clean and Bio Groom shampoos ( I know they sell other brands, but can't recall what..when you go in, ask the groomers there)...those are much better quality than Sergeants.


If there are no ingredients on the label and no ';Safe for puppies over____weeks'; don't buy it.


The puppy is 8 weeks old...no reason you cannot give it a bath. It's best to start them out young and get them use to it now.
Unless your pup is covered in poop, don't bath it, it has a mother let her do the work.
You can use any tearless dog shampoo, if you use conditioner, use it only on the body and always avoid the eyes, even when the dog is older.
check da label.lol
