🐶💙 WELCOME HOME, PUPPY! 🐾
Bringing home a new puppy is an exciting time — but there’s lots to think about during those first few months! 🥰
Here are some of our top tips to help your new best friend get off to a healthy and happy start:
🩺 BOOK THEIR FIRST VET VISIT
A puppy health check is a great opportunity to make sure they’re growing well and discuss vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutrition and desexing.
💉 KEEP VACCINATIONS UP TO DATE
Puppies need a vaccination series to help protect them from preventable diseases. Your vet can create a vaccination schedule for your pup.
🪱 DON’T FORGET PARASITE PREVENTION
Worms, fleas and ticks can cause serious problems in puppies. Ask our team about the right prevention for your puppy.
🥩 FEED A COMPLETE PUPPY DIET
Growing puppies have specific nutritional needs. Choose a balanced puppy food appropriate for their age, size and breed.
🎓 START TRAINING EARLY
Positive reinforcement, consistency and patience are the keys to helping your puppy become a confident and well-mannered adult dog.
🐾 SOCIALISE, SOCIALISE, SOCIALISE!
Safe and positive experiences with people, sounds, handling and other appropriately vaccinated dogs can help build confidence.
🦷 EXPECT SOME CHEWING!
Puppies explore the world with their mouths — and teething can mean plenty of chewing! Provide safe chew toys and redirect unwanted chewing.
❤️ MAKE THE VET A HAPPY PLACE
Treats, cuddles and positive experiences from a young age can help your puppy learn that visiting the vet is nothing to be scared of!
✨ Most importantly… enjoy the puppy days!
They grow up far too quickly. Capture the chaos, enjoy the cuddles and make plenty of memories along the way! 🐶💕
