Puppies shouldn't be bathed for at least 8 weeks or more. If you need to bath them because they have feces on them then bath them as you would a baby. Put them in the kitchen sink with a rubber mat on the bottom or at least a towel (so they won't slip) and use cups of tepid water from the other side of the sink (not the spray on your sink or loud running water or it will frighten the pup.) Keep telling the puppy they are a good boy/girl. Then rinse the puppy well and use a thick towel, being sure the pup does not get chilled. Get another thick dry towel and keep the pup close to you for body head until they are completely dry. Oatmeal shampoo is the best and great for a dog's skin and always rinsing well with tepid water (skin temp) will keep your dog clean. However, during the winter months a person shouldn't bath their dog more than 3 times during the winter month and if paws are muddy or the under-belly then put into the bath (tepid water) and just clean the messy spots. Dogs need the oil in their skin during the winter months. During the summer you can bath them once every month but only if they smell or are dirty.

You don't -nestle the puppies in a laundry basket lined with bath towels and take the mother with them. If she can fit in the laundry basket with the puppies, that is ideal. If she won't fit, keep her close to the puppies the whole time.

No. Just take a warm wash cloth, with excess water squeezed out, and wipe down and dry well. However; there really shouldn't be a need for any of this, as the mother will clean them very well. Puppies can also have a bath when they are about 6 months old. BUT BE GENTLE!!!!!!!!!

Can a 4 weeks puppy can take a bath?
Unless a puppy that young has gotten into some really nasty stuff, bathing a dog that young is not recommended. The mother will have been regularly licking her puppies clean. A bath will remove many of the dog's natural oils from the fur, and a puppy can get sick if accidentally swallowing soap.
