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.
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.
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.
