Puppy Care
Points to remember:
Bring home a puppy only after it is eight weeks old.

·         Ensure it has had its Primary Vaccination against Parvo virus and other diseases.

·         Insist on the immunization record.

·         If it is a dog with a Pedigree insist on the certificate and its transfer to your name.

·         Ask questions about the feeding schedule.

Feeding Schedule
Readymade dry food of high quality like pedigree, Royal Canin etc. are the right food of choice. They contain the right proportions of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. If you are not giving dry food, then remember to give the right supplements of Calcium and Vitamins without fail.


House Training
You need to have a lot of patience to house break your puppy. Usually, the puppies often relieve themselves right after they eat so taking them out right after eating reinforces the idea that they should only relieve themselves outside the house. This should be of great help later for big size dogs when they grow up. Alternatively, usually, the puppies circles around whenever it want to pee. So for first few days you need to be really behind it watching it closely. You should carry the puppy to the place where you want it to pee for some days every time it shows such traits. Soon your puppy will be trained.

One more method is to try placing old sheets of newspaper on the floor and place the puppy on the newspaper after it has eaten. Understand though, that this method takes plenty of time and patience, so don't give up.

Children and puppies should never be left alone with each other. Children can unknowingly hurt them sometimes and puppies can unwittingly retaliate by biting.

Whatever behavior you eventually want from your puppy, you must enforce it from the start. If you don’t want the grown up dog to enter specific parts of the house, don't let them do so as puppies. Make sure they have a nice warm and safe place to sleep in.
