When Can Kittens Bathe and How to Get Rid of Fleas
It's generally safe to bathe kittens after they reach three months old. Bathing should not be done too frequently to avoid damaging the kitten's skin's natural protective layer, which can lead to dryness or skin conditions. Generally, kittens need to be at least 3 months old before their first bath. This is because in the first few months of life, a kitten's immune system is not yet fully developed, and they have relatively weaker resistance to disease. Bathing a kitten too early can increase its risk of infection. Before 3 months, if cleaning is necessary, you can gently wipe your kitten's body with a warm, damp cloth. Once a kitten is 3 months old, has completed its vaccinations, and is in good health, then it’s usually safe to consider giving it a bath. However, it's important not to bathe them too frequently to prevent damage to the skin's natural oils, which can lead to dryness or skin problems.
