Feeding and Puppy Care
Feeding your puppy
All pets have a unique set of nutritional requirements which have been passed on from
generation to generation just like the breeds unique coat, body size and temperament. All my
puppies are weaned when they are good and ready to plunge into solid food, they are then
introduced to Royal Canin 33 puppy formula soaked in goats milk and cottage cheese.
Puppies should be fed the proper balance of protein, carbohydrates, fatty acids, vitamins
and minerals that match the breed specific nutritional requirements - those which have been
passed on by their ancestors. Puppies are fed 4 times a day and snack on moms milk in
between.
Pet owners who feed their companion pets correctly can save a lot of money. Today many
dogs are taken to the vet, suffering from nutritionally related problems, and the vet bills can
be huge. i.e. dry/itchy/flaky skin, hot spots, yeast infections in the ear, thyroid - liver -
kidney problems, This is only a few of the problems brought on by improper diet. This cost
the average dog owner hundreds of dollars every year. I recommend that pet owners learn
about the nutritional needs of the animal they are feeding before deciding on what they are
going to feed their dog. We should first learn what our companion pet needs and then choose
a diet that is correct for the animal being fed. Bottom line is, feeding your pet the proper diet
your pet will live a longer and healthier life.
Your vet will recommend something they sell on the shelf. I "DO NOT" recommend feeding any
commercial pet food from your vet since they do not carry premium dog or puppy food. This is
something that your vet was taught in school and they are only following what has been
instilled in their brains. Most vets do not recommend the diet I advice because it takes money
out of their pockets. Feeding your pet a healthy diet will also mean less vet visits aside from
yearly checkup. Again this is taking money out of their pockets.
In a perfect world every pet owner would feed their pets a good home cooked meal, but we
don't live in that perfect world. However I do recommend to the families that are willing to set
aside some time to feed their pets a good home cooked meal using quality ingredients, without
preservatives. Cooking your pets meals should only take two hours a week and will be less
expensive then any premium commercial dog food.
Since treats are a good source of enticement when training your pet I would suggest, fresh
raw or steamed vegetables or home cooked treats. Fresh vegetables are healthy for your pet
where as commercial treats have many preservatives as well as corn and fillers which do not
agree with most pets systems. If your pet suddenly gets dry, itchy, flaky skin or hot spots the
first thing I look at is the ingredients in their diet. Corn is the # 1 ingredient I look for in the
food or treats being fed and is usually the cause.
Things you will need before you take your puppy home.
Your puppy is going to need a place he can call his own, and a cage or crate will fill this bill.
I train all my puppies in an x-pen. This is something you can buy in any pet supply store or
on the internet..The pup will need a bed, food and water bowls, toys to chew on and play
with, a collar and leash, a bag of a good premium quality dry puppy food, nail clippers is a
good thing to keep on hand, get your puppy use to you clipping their nails, and plenty of
newspapers or training pads.
Bringing your puppy home.
Well the day has come for you to pick up your puppy from the breeder. Some breeders will
recommend you bring a puppy carry bag or a small crate lined with a soft small blanket and
chew toy. The crate or carry bag should never be placed in the front seat.. I personally
advise my puppy buyers to bring someone with them so they can drive while you hold the
puppy in a soft blanket that has the sent of his or her litter mates as well as mom, in your
arms for the ride home. Talk to your puppy softly and distract him or her from the ride.
If you do not have someone to drive and you bring your puppy home in a small crate or
puppy carry bag you will need to follow the same laws you would as if you were taking a
human baby home from the hospital. DO NOT keep the puppy in the front seat next to you.
Before you leave the breeder, try to get the pup to potty , this will avoid possible floods or
surprises stimulated by all the excitement or the ride
Home Sweet Home.
This should be your introductory period by keeping the puppy involved with plenty of
attention from children and other family members through every one of her waking moments.
If you have small children you must watch them when they are holding a puppy. Pugs are
very fragile, children can easily inflict damage without meaning to do so. Children must be
taught how to properly handle a puppy. This is when you should spend some time with them
during these first few days explaining common sense rules on how to play with the pup.
Food and water, when offering your puppy food or water. Remember never leave food for
any puppy while you are not with them. Puppies should be watched when they are
eating, they can easily choke on their food.
Health Check
Every breeder has a time frame for veterinarian check ups. This is something you will want
to do a.s.a.p. You will want to make sure your puppy is in good health. You will need to bring
with you a copy of health records which will also include the vaccinations and worming the
breeder has given your puppy including your puppies birth date.
Should your vet find any illnesses you need to contact your breeder immediately and inform
him or her of your veterinarians findings. Your breeder will want to know and stand by his or
her health guarantee.
