Helpful Suggestions for Puppy Care
3 Important To Remember
1. Remember to set up your 9 week veterinary appointment for your puppy. They will be ready for their next examination/check up, vaccinations, and another round of worming treatment. We provide you with a puppy care form that has all of your pups care history. Have a list of questions to ask your vet at your first appointment. These questions may include puppy feeding, grooming, health concerns, micro-chipping, etc.
2. Puppy Proof Your Home! They are just like toddlers, they get into everything! Check your house/floor for small items the puppy might chew/choke on. Block any cords, pick up loose shoes and pick up any small miscellaneous items they may chew on. It's good to avoid anything toxic. Doing an over-all check of your home, especially ground/floor level is the best. Invest in a baby gate if there are rooms you do not wish your puppy to get into to.
3. Have Patience! Puppy training can be trying but have patience with your puppy. They are learning. Have fun with them, keep a sense of humor. Build a positive stern relationship with your puppy. Remember keeping to a schedule and staying consistent works best! Ask your local vet for training advice if you have any questions!

Supplies For Your

As stated on your puppy care form, FEED YOUR PUPPY 1/4 cup of food three times a day. Gradually decrease to two times a day at 5-6 months. It's always a good idea to ask your vet for feeding advice as well.

House TrainingRemember your puppy will need training when brought to their new home. They do not have complete control of their bladder or bowel yet. So frequent trips outside are necessary. Crate training aids in house training. Dogs/animals instinctively do not want to "go" (pee/poop) in the place they lay down or rest. Asking your vet's advice for training as well is helpful. There are various books, videos and webpages for helpful advice as well. Remember to have patience and be consistent.
