The first 3 days after getting your new puppy are usually the most difficult time for the puppy!  Stress from the move can start up some simple problems but they do need to be addressed!!   You can sometimes expect the puppy to get low blood sugar or act a little lethargic, and its very simple to treat.  Just give your puppy about 3 Tablespoons of DARK KERO SYRUP, having Nutri cal on hand is even better, you should see a difference in energy level and wanting to eat within 30 min.  If your puppy has diarrhea that is pretty common for puppies to have and I will have packed some Zole for you; go a head and give for 3 days, regardless, to help with the stress of the move.  Chances are your puppy will struggle with stress and runny poo, it is pretty important for you to have Zole on hand, chewy has it, zole will help you with runny poo. It's important to watch for  vomiting, vomiting can be from parvo to having chewed and swallowed a toy that is stuck in them so its very important to go to vet!  First thing the vet should do is a parvo test; your puppy will have received 2 neopar, one at 3 and 5 weeks plus a 5 way at 7 weeks and you wont be getting your puppy until 9 weeks of age so God willing your Parvo test will be negative!  The best preventative on swallowing toys and socks is to keep house picked up and throw away toys that have started to show wear!!   Please call or text me night or day in the event something like this is happening!

We are feeding 4health puppy food from tractor supply.  Be sure to get the lamb and rice with healthy grains!   we will add warm water to a 2 cup sized bowl add a tablespoon of puppy canned.  I feed them 2 times a day.  You can offer them a total of 6 cups of food a day throughout their life, get them on adult food at 12 weeks of age.  Give her more food even though it says differently on package. If u feed them like package it makes them crazy for food. If you give them more they don’t care about it Also dogs need a quality grain, don’t do the grain free, fad diet.

At 12 weeks of age you need to start switching him over to adult food,  you can mix any left over puppy 50 / 50 with the adult until it is gone.  This is to control growing to fast and by doing this along with limiting exercise for first 2 years you are helping to insure your dog lives a more physically fit long life.  Also, it is recommended to wait at least 2 years before getting the puppy spayed or neutered!  This helps in the different leg bones growing at same rate.  The dogs need their hormones!  

Do not change your puppies diet right away after getting him, this will help the puppy maintain his solid poo!!!!  Wait 10 days before getting vaccinations!!  Your first visit to vet is a puppy wellness and no shots should be given!  It’s an opportunity for you to introduce your puppy to vet and your vet to teach And help you with your new friend.  Vet will do a fecal and this is an important visit!!  Get rabies shot on a different day as other vaccines, and only get the 1 year rabies!  I will gladly help you with anything that comes up!!  We have spent hours with these guys and have become emotionally attached to them before you get him and we want them to have as easy transition as possible because we care about them!

You need a wire crate and a leash. Have him sleep in crate over night. Let him out emdeiatly when u wake up, u can’t do anything but wake up and run him outside. Just stand there like a statue until he goes to the bathroom and then tell him what a good boy he is. Then come back inside put him in the crate and give him his food and water. 30 minutes later let him out and stand like a statue wate for him to poo and pee and tell him what a good boy he is. When you feed him give him a large bowl and let him eat what he needs and then that’s it for the day. 

 anytime you take him out of crate or arrive home you take him immediately outside and stand like a statue tell he goes potty. Then in the house have him on a leash and have him follow you around and this way you can catch him if he starts to go potty. If he does scream and grab him and take him out side. Scream no like u r getting in a car wreck!!!!   but when he is good be so nice and use the sweetest voice you have!!!  You can feed and water him in the evening again…do it the exact same way …let out,statue,good boy put back in crate with food and water wait 30 minutes let out, statue,good boy!! Same thing everyday at as close to the same times as possible!!
