What causes this?Many dogs love car rides and have no problem with motion sickness. However, the majority did not start out that way. It's very common for puppies and young dogs to get car sick from the motion, stress, and excitement. The reason may be due to the fact that the parts of the inner ear...

Frequently, people inquire about the value of pet insurance. I will never outright dismiss it by saying "don't bother."

Throughout the years, we have come across numerous anecdotes regarding puppies getting themselves into trouble. For instance, jumping off the couch and fracturing a leg. Puppies are prone to falls, exploring things, and accidents are bound to occur. This is especially true on weekends when the garden shed is open, and your little puppy discovers something potentially harmful to swallow.

The cost of after-hours veterinary consultations alone amounts to approximately $250.

The initial year is when puppies tend to be most adventurous. Therefore, we strongly advise considering PD pet insurance, at least for that first year.

Whether picking up your puppy in person or greeting them at the airport, here is a list of a few helpful things to bring with you:


1. It is better to travel with the puppy in a secure travel crate in case of an accident.

​

2. Paper towels in case of car sickness or other mistakes. Moist baby wipes are also great to have on hand for quick clean ups. Remember to take a rubbish bag.

​

3. A soft towel or baby blanket for your puppy to snuggle in. We supply one that they have been sleeping on.

​

4. A small bottle of water and a shallow bowl for drinking, in case your puppy gets thirsty.

​

5. Pet Pads – Please do not put your puppy down on the ground in places like a rest stop, right outside a store etc where MANY dogs have also used the bathroom in the same grass before you and your little puppy were there. Many dogs are not vaccinated and if there was a dog that had parvo even one year ago and used the bathroom in that spot, Parvovirus may infect your puppy and can be lethal to him/her. Your puppy is not protected against Parvo until all 3/4 vaccinations are complete. You may think this Parvo protection instructions sound like “over-kill”, but it is not, after you pup has been fully vaccinated you do not have worry about this kind of thing.

​

6. For picking up your puppy at the airport please phone the airport before pick up and find out whereabouts you need to go to pick up your puppy.

​

You must take photo ID when picking up from the airport and only the named person is to pick up from the airport.

Also make sure you have the airway bill number. Keep your cell phone on you!

The reason it’s good to be cautious when exercising a puppy is because a puppy’s growth plates don’t close until they are around 12 months old (it varies , depending on the breed), and some vets say puppies that experience heavier exercise are more likely to develop joint issues. It’s good t...
