Caring For Your

New Puppy

​

 

Our puppies are generally very easy to care for. Here are a few tips that we think are important reminders of how to care for your new puppy.

​

• Your puppy needs to be examined by a licensed veterinarian after going home. Find a vet that you feel comfortable with, and keep regular appointments so your vet gets to know your puppy.

• Keep your puppy up to date on shots, worming and other preventative protocol.

• Feed your puppy a good, well-rounded diet. Do not underfeed or overfeed your puppy. In general, follow the recommended feeding guidelines found on the bag.

• Avoid exposing your puppy to stressful situations, such as frequent stair climbing or standing on concrete for long periods of time during his formative years.

• Provide adequate shelter and shade, and make sure there is always fresh clean water available.  Our puppies have always lived inside and always deserve the best!  Please do not leave your puppy outside unattended.

• Make sure your puppy has plenty of exercise on a regular basis, and whenever possible.

• Puppies need lots of rest too.

• Keep your puppy groomed to avoid matts, itching or scaling skin, and other health problems.

• We recommend grooming at least every 2-3 months.

• Enroll your puppy in a good puppy training class. Many local and regional classes are great starters for both you and your puppy.
