We begin very basic crate training and house training. The puppies learn to do all their potty business outside, and they are introduced to short periods of time in a crate. This gives them a good foundation for house training and crate training when they go to their new homes. They certainly are not fully trained by eight weeks old, but they have a great foundation.
By six weeks old, the puppies have been dewormed twice, and they will be dewormed one more time before 8 weeks old. Regular deworming is important for young puppies, because they are very susceptible to parasites. I use pyrantel when they are under six weeks old and then switch to fenbendazole after six weeks old.
The puppies are six weeks old. They are very active and social, and they are getting to explore and experience many new things.
The puppies are 2.5 weeks old, and they are all doing well. When I recorded today’s weight, I also gave them their first deworming. This is important for puppies to stay on top of any parasites. Young puppies are very susceptible to parasites and related infections, so I deworm them every 2-3 weeks up until 2 months old. I start with pyrantel in the early weeks, and switch to fenbendazole after 6 weeks old. #puppies #goldenirish #puppycare #familyraisedpuppies
