Puppy Care Basics

Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting experience! Here's everything you need to know to give your furry friend the best start in life.

🍽️ Nutrition

Puppies need special nutrition to grow strong and healthy:

• High-quality puppy food specifically formulated for their developmental needs
• Regular feeding schedule - typically 3-4 meals per day for young puppies
• Fresh water always available
• Avoid human food that can be harmful to dogs

🏃 Exercise and Play

Exercise is crucial for your puppy's development:

• Short, frequent play sessions rather than long exhausting activities
• Mental stimulation through puzzle toys and training
• Socialization with other vaccinated dogs
• Safe environment free from hazards

🏥 Health Care

Regular veterinary care is essential:

• Vaccinations following your vet's schedule
• Regular check-ups to monitor growth and development
• Parasite prevention (fleas, ticks, worms)
• Dental care starting early

🎓 Training

Start training early for best results:

• Basic commands (sit, stay, come)
• House training with patience and consistency
• Crate training for safe space and travel
• Positive reinforcement works best

Remember, every puppy is unique and may have different needs. Always consult with your veterinarian for personalized advice!
