Helpful Tips
Recommended Feed
We feed Nutri Source puppy chicken and rice, small/medium breed .
You can find it at Menards.
I do free feed my puppies !
Crate
Wire crates and playpens are recommend. The plastic pet taxis are great for transportation of your puppy, but they are not recommended for nighttime sleeping
Potty Training
I have already started your puppy on potty schedule. I utilize the crate and playpen for night time and when I'm away from home. The area should be a comfortable area that the puppy enjoys being in. I do have bed, blanket, toys, food and water. I also do a bedtime and wake up time schedule. This gives puppy confidence in their daily routine.
Vet Care
Once you have picked your puppy, it is a good time to make an apportionment with your vet. If you are a first time pet owner it is always a good idea to ask friends and family for Veterinarian clinic recommendations !
Potty Pads
​I have found over the years that reusable potty pads worked the best. Puppies tend to play and tear up the disposable potty pads. These can be found on Amazon in all kinds of colors and sizes.
Grooming
I do recommend that your puppies first groom should be done around 16 to 18 weeks of age.
I start grooming the puppies at four weeks of age to get them accustomedto being handled by a
groomer. I do recommend that once you decide to bring a puppy home to go ahead and find a groomer and set the first appointment as most groomers are booked a month out. Please do your research and find the best groomer for your puppies breed .
Treats
We do like to use fresh vegetables!
Raw carrot sticks, green beans and peas !
