Hello my name is Jay, I hv a blue nose pitbull 6weeks old, already potty trained, when can I bathe him, 1st shots on 21

You can bathe him now.. but treat him like a new born baby.. Use baby shampoo (I like aveeno baby) in warm water. Make sure he is 100% dry before he goes outside... A lot of times, I just old the babies in a warm blanket or towel until they are dry..

I feed my pup, black gold puppy food, and also give him K9 gold it's a powder milk for pups, has 28% protein and food 32%, am I doing too much?

Not too familure with the black gold name brand.. However, at 6wks, he doesn't need any more puppy milk.

That is a bit too much protein in the diet. Just stick to the puppy food for now.

Thanks a lot, do u recommened any good puppy foods?

Hey how is the pro plan, and if u do which 1 for pups?

Pro plan is a great food for puppies.

I put cooked ground beef in with his keebles, and 2 aweek egg whites cooked.

I know you want to feed him the best... But with puppies, organic or home made foods don't really mix well with their tender tummies. I would suggest to just feed the puppy food and wait until later to start feeding things like that.

Hello, OK I shall thanks for good advice.

Hello, OK I shall thanks for good advice.

You're most welcome! If you have problems with him, don't be afraid to come back and ask for help!

Thanks again, and we go for 1st shots on Tue, your outlook on ear cropping don't want to seem insentive to my little buddie, good or bad idea?

Ear cropping is a bad idea. Many nerve endings are removed. It's painful, and not necessary, other than aesthetics.

I would not recommend ear cropping. He is the way he's supposed to be, changing his body parts to achieve a certain look is not a good choice in my opinion.

Thanks again, as a good dog owner we sometime hv to think outside the box, which means asking advice on things we can easily do, if I say I'm part of a group of dog lovers whi wants to bring the respect back to such a wonderful animal, I 1st hv to give respect thanks for your honesty and he shall stay as is.

You're welcome, and I'm glad to hear you'll leave him as is. He'll be much happier because of it.

Now, I simply must beg that you post pictures. We'd love to see this little guy. :)

I would love to, how may I do so?

I'm not sure how to do it using the skin that you're on. There should be instructions somewhere on this site. Let me see if I can find them. :)

Agree, Agree, and agree once more. Some years back I assisted with more than a few ear crops where I work. Since then, Thank God, the ear cropping scissors have been retired. I think natural ears are much nicer and the puppy avoids the pain of the procedure and the weeks of untaping and retaping until they are healed and standing properly.
Thanks for not putting him through that.
As Alty said it's purely cosmetic and unnecessary for a pet.

Indeed so, and thank u.
