Caring for the Puppy
Commitment of Puppy Owner
Owning a young puppy is a big investment and commitment.
After raising nine children we see very little difference in the time and energy needed for a young growing puppy as for a young toddler . However, the effort and time you commit in the beginning will yield big returns through security , loyalty, obedience, and love of that dog back to you.
Basically if you want to receive you must give.
Puppy Classes are a great way to expose and socialize your pup in addition to learning training commands for your puppy that will make your coexistence more peaceful and fun!
​
Your Responsibilities as a new owner:
-
Feed your pup the highest quality of food for their diet
-
Give a supplement daily
We highly recommend the NUVET PLUS SUPPLEMENT Daily which is safe for puppies, adult dogs, and pregnant dogs
-
Offer a safe “get away” place of security in a crate or bed
-
Supply safe and mentally stimulating toys and chewing toys or bones.
-
Attend a puppy class and train simple commands daily
-
Play and walk daily
-
Take places to socialize or enrich
-
Find a great Veterinarian
-
Wait till your pup is at least a year old before neutering
