Question 6

HOW MUCH SHOULD I FEED MY PUPPY?

Accepted Answer

Look at the back of the food bag for measurements! At 8 weeks they will be eating 3 times a day. Sometimes the new environment can cause nervousness and your pup might not feel like eating. If this is the case, we recommend getting dry puppy food and soaking it in a little bit of water or try mixing dry puppy food with canned food.

Question 7

WHEN CAN I START TAKING MY PUPPY TO PUBLIC PLACES?

Accepted Answer

We recommend waiting until they are fully vaccinated! (Typically when they are 16-18 weeks) This will help reduce the risk of parvo.

It’s important for the puppy to be socialized during this period, just ensure wherever you’re socializing your pup that they are in a safe space. If you want to take it to your family’s house and they have dogs, just make sure their dogs are fully immunized.

Question 8

WHAT WILL MY PUPPY COME HOME WITH?

Accepted Answer

Each puppy will be going home with vet check and vaccination records. A small blanket that is scented with their mom and siblings, a toy, and poop bags. Also we can provide a bag full of food to help transition over to whichever brand you choose to feed your pup.

Question 9

TRAINING YOUR PUPPY

Accepted Answer

We believe training is a huge part of dog ownership. We do the first 7-8 weeks of proper puppy development and training. After the puppy goes to their forever home they are eager to learn and ready to be trained. Whether you do it yourself, online, or hire a professional dog trainer, you won’t regret it, and your puppy deserves it!

Question 10

HOW SHOULD I START POTTY TRAINING MY DOG?

Accepted Answer

The key is to stay consistent, especially while they are young! Take the puppy out the same door each time you let your dog out. Puppies have small bladders and will need to be let out frequently. Start by taking your puppy outside at least every hour from morning until it goes to bed. You may need to get up in the night with it for the first little bit. As it gets older it will be able to hold its bladder longer and will only need to be let out in the morning, after meals and before bed.
