Expert Answer

A mother dog cannot be bathed right after weaning. She should be bathed only after full vaccination, usually after 3 months of age, while weaning happens around 6 weeks, so bathing is still unsuitable afterward.

Before vaccination her resistance is low, and bathing then easily causes colds and infectious disease. For her health, bathe only after vaccination is complete.
