December 30, 2019

If you have a puppy you may be wondering how to take care of it properly. There are some basic tips you can follow to make sure you are taking care of your new pet. Make sure you provide your puppy with the necessities first and then spend quality time with them. I have compiled some other quick tips you can follow to make sure you are taking care of your new puppy. 

The Necessities 

If you recently got a new puppy you want to make sure you have all the necessities in order to take care of your new puppy first. It is very important that you prepare your home for your new puppy to make sure you are introducing your puppy into a safe and comfortable space. To do this, you will need to make sure you have a leash, collar, and an identification tag to make sure your dog can be returned to you in the unfortunate event it gets lost. Preparing your floors is also very important if you are expecting a new puppy in the house. Some products can be applied to your floorings to help protect them from scratches. You can get more information here if you would like to learn how you can protect your floors from your new furry friends. You should also consider getting a dog food bowl and water bowls that will be suitable for your puppy's breed and size. Also, purchasing comfy bedding is important to ensure your puppy has a nice place to cozy up and get some rest. Puppies require lots of sleep to help them grow and getting a nice comfy dog bed will allow your dog to sleep peacefully and get a good night's sleep. 

Spend Quality Time with Your Puppy

If you have a fulltime job, you may find it difficult to spend enough time with your puppy. When dogs are young they need a lot of attention and they need to be trained properly to ensure your puppy grows into a well-behaved dog. If you work a full-time job you may find it hard to give your puppy the attention it needs. If this sounds like you, then you need to make sure when you are home, you put aside time to spend with your puppy. If you are away most of the day make sure you interact with your puppy before you leave and when you come back. Most dogs will be okay if you are gone from home for an extended period of time during the day because they will get used to it. Just make sure you do spend quality time with your puppy every single day. 

Take your Dog for Walks

If you want to make sure you are properly taking care of your new puppy you need to make sure you take your dog outdoors to explore. When dogs are young, it is important that you keep them in sight, because they can become easily distracted and wander off. Also, make sure you take your dog for walks so they can explore and learn about the world around them. If you do not always have time to take your dogs for a walk, you will need to make sure that there is someone that can. This could be a family member or someone else that lives in your home. If these options are not available to you there are many dog walking and dog sitting service providers that will be happy to look after your pet for a little bit. Taking your dog outdoors and making sure they stay active will allow your dog to get the exercise it needs, explore the world around them, and become comfortable and confident in their surroundings. 

Accommodate your Puppy 

If you have never had a dog before and you are a first-time dog owner, you will want to prepare your home so that your puppy feels comfortable. Some ways to help prepare your home for your new dog is to create areas your dog can comfortably rest. If you have a cold basement you will want to make sure you have an area where your dog can sit. You may want to put some covers on furniture so that your dog does not scuff or scratch any of the leather. If you have concrete floorings you may want to use a protector to help protect your floor from any accidents your dog may have. Using a protector will help you clean up any urine or fecal matter your dog may leave on your floor. 

Train Your Puppy 

If you are actively training your new puppy then you're taking the right steps to ensure your puppy is well cared for. It is important for your puppy to learn how to interact in certain situations. For example, you want to make sure that your dog understands how to behave properly when it is put in social situations with other dogs or people. If you do not train your puppy at a young age, it may develop social problems and bark when it sees another dog or a human. Also, you should train your dog on how to handle doorbell situations. Often times an untrained dog will bark like crazy when the doorbell rings and this can get very annoying over time and may also frighten your guests. 

Having a new puppy can be challenging at times, but if you are following the tips mentioned above you are on the right track. Taking care of your new puppy is important so that it can learn and grow into a confident and well-behaved dog. If your job requires you to be away from home often, you may want to consider getting a dog sitter to help out. It is important that puppies get enough love and attention in the beginning so that they develop a healthy relationship with humans. It will be important when it comes time to train your new puppy because you will want it to be attentive and responsive to what you are trying to teach it. Training your puppy early on is a good way to ensure your dog is well behaved and can handle situations such as a knock at the door. Also, make sure you have all the necessities picked out for your new puppy like bedding, food bowls, and most importantly an identification tag. If you are following all these steps you are on the right track to taking care of your new puppy.

Love teacups…I am a first time owner. Thinking mix of maltese and shitzu…but not sure what to look for to make sure it is in good health. A breeder contacted me and had what I am looking for…but she said it was the runt…and will be tiny.

Your website impressed me…please contact me. How much too…curious on price.
