When an ecstatic pet owner takes a lively puppy home, he often falls into a feeling of overwhelming confusion.
Don't worry, let's take a deeper understanding of some key care points to help you and your friends get through the first stage of learning smoothly.
1. Integrate into the new environment
Entering an unknown territory, the puppy may appear hesitant.
At this time, you need to decorate a warm corner for it so that it can be taken care of by you while being at ease. The corner of the living room or bedroom is an ideal choice.
Over time, you should encourage the puppy to slowly explore and adapt to every corner of the new home, gradually expand its range of activities, let it run freely and explore as much as possible.
2. Timely vaccination is crucial for puppies because they have weak immunity and resistance in the early stages of life.
When the puppy is 42 days old, it is a critical moment for the first vaccination.
Generally speaking, vaccination is performed in three times: the first dose of the second dose of the vaccine, followed by two doses of the six doses, and the two doses of the vaccine require a 21-day interval.
The last rabies vaccine and the third vaccine are only one week apart. Throughout the vaccination period, remember to avoid contact with other unvaccinated dogs to prevent the spread of the disease.
3. Optimizing the sleep environment
Puppies need a quiet and comfortable sleeping space. Ensure that they have enough rest is crucial for their physical growth and energy recovery.
Play some soft sleep-aiding music while they are sleeping, which can help them fall asleep faster.
4. Regular deworming
Starting from three months of age, you can perform the first deworming of puppies. Before this, internal and external deworming was performed once a month; after three months, it was changed to external deworming once a month and internal deworming once a month. Regular deworming is an effective means to prevent skin diseases and other parasitic infections.
5. Intimate companionship and play
At this time, the puppy should have adapted to the new environment. Interacting more with them can not only deepen their relationships, but also prevent destructive behaviors caused by puppies being overly active. You can buy suitable toys for them and play together.
When the vaccination is completed, you can take your puppies downstairs for a walk, allowing them to feel the gift of life in the arms of nature.
7. Careful diet management
The puppies who have just arrived home have relatively sensitive stomachs due to their young age. Improper diet can easily cause physical discomfort.
Therefore, choosing a digestible and nutritious dog food is the key to meeting their nutritional needs during their growth period.
