You can use a gentle dog shampoo labeled for puppies. Preferably the mild and tearless formula. Never use human shampoo on dogs and always remember to rinse all the shampoo out.
A mild puppy shampoo and lukewarm tepid water. There are ones without fragrance and other unnecessary additives/chemicals, for puppy's sensitive skin. Also, remember to gently dry and brush out.
Wash your puppy with a mild puppy shampoo found at any pet store. Ideally an oatmeal based puppy shampoo is best, as it is a calming shampoo that shouldn't irritate sensitive puppy skin. Be sure not to bathe too often. Only about once a month with shampoo.
