Care Instructions And Helpful Tips- Congratulations on the purchase of your new family pet. We have enjoyed taking care of your puppy and it’s always hard to let then go. They are so easy to get attached to because they bring so much joy and happiness to a person’s life. There’s not a day that goes by that they don’t do something to make you laugh. So we hope you enjoy a long, loving, and happy life with your new puppy as much as we have enjoyed the time of taking care of it. But do take into consideration that the puppy will be shy and nervous at first because now they are in new surroundings with new people and they need time to adjust to them. Ways you can help you puppy is by simply letting the puppy get to know you but never rush your puppy let it investigate you and its new surroundings slowly on its own. If you have children you need to make sure that they don’t do anything to scare the puppy, because if they do it will take more time for it to come around. If you allow the puppy to come to you on it’s own time it will help to build its confidence and trust for you.  We spend time playing with our puppies and getting them more sociable with people. So it may not take you puppy very long at all to become your new best friend.

Health- The health of your puppy is one of the most important things about your puppy. They are just like you and I they need the right amount of nutrition and exercise to help them live a long and healthy life. When it’s in its puppy stages it doesn’t have any trouble getting lots of exercise so always make sure the puppy is getting enough rest because just like humans they run out of energy so they need their rest to keep them going. When your puppy becomes an adult it may not be as active so try taking it for a walk or playing a friendly game of fetch. Always try to make sure your puppy keeps fleas off because they can be hard on the puppy.While your puppy is in our care we like to worm them every two weeks,After receiving your puppy you need to follow your vets instructions on what to do with your puppy from then on. Also while in our care your puppy will receive it’s five and one shot at six weeks. Again as I mentioned earlier you need to take the puppy to your vet to continue the puppies vaccines and worming’s

Puppy Feeding Tips- While your puppy is in our care we feed dried puppy food. We also make sure that they have plenty of water. When you purchase your puppy and you decide to feed it a different brand of food you need to slowly change it over by mixing it with what it is already eating and what you’re switching it to. Because if you change it right away your puppy will develop an intestinal upset (diarrhea).If you like giving treats we suggest that you use milk-bones. A lot of treats can make your puppy sick so be careful choosing the type of treats for your puppy.

Relationship With children- When your child is playing with the puppy they need to be supervised. Your puppy can be very playful and may sometimes play a little rough but it doesn’t realize that it is playing rough because it’s only a puppy. Children can also play a little rough which can scare, hurt, or maybe even make it aggressive. So even though puppies are loving and mean no harm always supervise your children when they are playing with them.

Ear Care- It is very important to keep the ears clean and dry. It is very easy for puppies to get ear infections.

So be very careful when cutting the nails so that you do not hurt them.

Teeth Care- Teeth care is crucial for all dogs and one of the worst things that can be harsh on your pets teeth would be table scraps. Scraps are also bad on a smaller dogs digestive system.
