How to Care for Your Puppy
Puppy Care
Bringing home a new puppy can be an exciting and challenging experience. Here are a few tips to help you get started.
- Do not feed food from the table. Many human foods are not good for your puppy. Foods with xylitol, chocolate and raisins are poisonous to dogs.
- Keep cleaning supplies away from your puppy. When using cleaning supplies make sure your puppy is kept out of the area.
- Keep toilet lids closed. This will help keep your puppy from falling in and drinking from the toilet.
- Put away small items that are choking hazards. Small items such as jewelry, toys, coins are choking hazards.
- Move poisonous houseplants out of reach. Certain household plants can harm your puppy if they eat them.
- Clean up after your puppy to be sure they won’t try to eat their own feces.
- Ensure cords are concealed. Electrical cords are chewing hazards and can cause burns to the mouth or electrical shock. Secure cords that raise blinds to avoid your puppy from getting them caught around their neck.
- Supervise your puppy. Puppies should not be left outside alone.
- Get regular Veterinary checks. Puppies requires vaccinations. Your puppy will have already received the initial vaccine by us. It is important to provide the vet with the corresponding paperwork showing what your puppy has received. Your puppy will need further top-up vaccines until they're about 16-20 weeks of age.
The standard DHPP (or DAPP) core vaccine and its boosters protect against the following five unique contagious illnesses:
- Distemper
- Hepatitis
