Here’s a few of tips I give to all my new puppy owners to ensure their new family members get off to good and healthy starts. The most important step is to get your new puppy checked out by a veterinarian as soon as possible. The veterinarian should perform a thorough examination to ensure you have a healthy free of any diseases or congenital abnormalities. I always tell my clients that the most important visit they will ever have is that first visit so we can get that puppy on a good healthy start to life. This is the time you will learn about vaccinations and preventative measures for your pet. Puppies should be fed puppy food. This is a no brainer, but you would be surprised what some people feed their dogs. I generally recommend to feed as much as a puppy will eat in 30 minutes, then pull the food up and do this two to three times a day. Do not feed table scraps or what we call people food. It can cause many medical issues in growing puppies. Following these simple steps will help ensure that your puppy gets off to a good, healthy start.
