 | Remember bringing home your new puppy is like bringing home
a new baby.
|
| Limit excitement and handling as much as possible.
Puppies require about 16 hours of sleep a day. They sleep about 3 hours
& maybe play & eat about 1 hour. If they do not get their rest they will
get sick. |
| Puppies do not eat much at one time; therefore they must
have a good dry puppy food available at all times. It should have chicken or
beef as 1st ingredient, not corn. I feed & recommend Iams Smart Puppy or
Diamond Puppy. To find a retailer go to the following link
www.diamondpet.com or
www.iams.com . |
| While traveling or during the getting acquainted period you
can entice your new puppy with turkey or beef baby food or plain yogurt.
Either alone or mix with dry food. You can also soak feed in hot water,
but try not to make a habit of this, as dry food is better for their teeth.
|
| Do not give the puppy anything sweet to eat. If the
vet recommends giving the puppy syrup, etc., please call me first. |
| Provide lots of chewing toys & stuffed toys to play with.
|
| I recommend not bathing to frequently & to use a tearless
puppy shampoo.
|
| On longhair puppies be sure to keep the hair on their
rear-end clipped for cleanliness. |
| Discuss with your vet additional routine maintenance & care
of your new puppy.
|
| If you have any questions please call. |
| I love to receive pictures and updates on my puppies!!! |
