Some thoughts about caring for puppies
1. Some Thoughts about CaringFor Puppies
Taking care of puppies is just a big responsibility if you are a professional owner or a new puppy
parent. Yes, it gets easier with the second 'child' but the requirements for looking after a puppy or
two are the same. For this reason before you choose to be a puppy mom or dad, ensure you are
committed to doing everything you can to ensure the well-being of your new bundle of fur.
One important responsibility of a puppy owner is always to feed her with healthy, nutritionally
balanced puppy food. You are able to opt for commercially made food products which can be
either dry (kibble type) or wet (canned). Then you can find the natural puppy foods as possible
prepare at home or buy from reliable manufacturers. Whichever type of puppy food you choose,
make sure to look for advice from your own veterinarian.
Your veterinarian is the better person to share with you what your puppy's nutritional
requirements are. This is on the basis of the puppy's age, breed, and health condition. Some
puppies are born with skin allergies so it's best to learn what natural foods or commercially
prepared food products they cannot tolerate.
Before the puppies reach the age of 4 months, chihuahua mix puppies feeding is completed 3 x a
day. On the fourth month, you can reduce how many meals to two (breakfast and dinner). Never
leave the meals bowl out the whole day in order to avoid eating disorders. Fresh water should be
made available for your requirements puppy only until about 7 pm so she doesn't have the urge
to go through the night.
Puppies are like babies...they need lots sleep. Ensure that your puppy features a comfortable bed
or a crate. Never allow your puppy to sleep in your bed. Otherwise, she will own that bed and
you'll never get her off without a fight. When a puppy is sleeping, don't wake her. Some
scientists say that it's during sleep your puppy's growth and development happens.
All puppies must certanly be house broken. Puppies usually need to do their business upon
waking up in the morning and after naps in addition to after meals. Patience and consistence are
the keys to training your puppy to be on schedule and at the appointed place. Watch for signs
your puppy needs to go. They usually sniff around at a specific spot or turnaround such as a
carousel. When you see these signs, bring her out for your bathroom break. If you don't want
accidents to take place, don't let your puppy loose all day long especially if you cannot watch her
the entire time.
You are your puppy's first teacher. For her to be a well-adjusted member of your household,
puppy training is important. Housebreaking is normally the first thing your puppy needs to learn.
Then there is crate training. This requires teaching her that the crate is her special place. In her
crate she must have comfortable bedding, a chew toy or two and water just outside it. Another
important thing to show your puppy is wearing a collar and walking on a leash. A puppy that's
trained to walk on a lead is a delight to cruise around with in the neighborhood. Leash training
can also be a base for teaching your puppy more advanced commands.
2. There's no such thing as a negative puppy, just like there is no such thing as a negative child.
Puppies are simply being true to themselves. They want to chew, bark, jump up and go whenever
and wherever they feel like going. It's your responsibility to coach your puppy concerning which
behaviors are acceptable in your home. Dogs in generally want to please their masters.
Therefore, by training your puppy in early stages what's acceptable behavior and eliminating bad
ones, she will grow up to be a grown-up dog who's main mission in life is always to please you.
Grooming can also be part of looking after puppies. Puppies don't really need to be bathe unless
they rolled around in the mud. You can use a wet terry to wipe away dirt and a dry someone to
well, dry her coat. For puppies will long and frizzy hair, comb the tangled fur. Work with a nail
clipper designed for puppies to cut those sharp little nails. Brush your puppy's teeth with only a
little doggie toothpaste and a puppy toothbrush. Clean her ears once in awhile. Be sure to bring
your puppy to your friendly neighborhood vet for vaccinations in addition to well-puppy check-
ups. When you yourself have any questions, don't hesitate to get your vet's advice.
Everyone wants to shower their puppies with love and care. To love your puppy means to take
care of her needs. This will, sometimes prove expensive (veterinary visits and food) and
downright tiring (training and clearing up following a pup). However, the love that a puppy
returns to her owner cannot be measured. With a little bit of patience, understanding and
consistency in how you take care of her, you will be rewarded with a healthy, well-behaved and
extremely loyal friend for life.
