Let's go over some important DON'T DO'S once you bring home your new puppy
💚Feel free to SHARE💚
🚫Do NOT stop at a rest area for your puppy to potty; instead use disposable potty pads and line them in your vehicle for puppy to go potty
🚫Do NOT take your puppy on walks around your neighborhood, they are to only be placed on YOUR grass/ground ONLY
🚫Absolutely do NOT take your puppy to dog parks until they are FULLY vaccinated (it takes at minimum 2-3weeks before its effective)
🚫Do NOT allow a bunch of people to pet your dog, LESS is best and calmer for your pup
🚫Do NOT put your puppy on the ground at your vets office!!!!!!!(biggest mistake I see)
They are NOT fully vaccinated until they have had 3-4 puppy series of distemper/parvo vaccines, rabies and/or bordetella. Yes, they absolutely can catch airborne diseases and become sick(including PARVO, Canine Influenza, Kennel Cough, etc).
🚫Do NOT allow many visitors the first 3-6 weeks at minimum. This is a crucial bonding period between you and your puppy also to establish a routine for them, less is best
🚫 Do NOT allow your puppy around other un-vaccinated dogs
🚫Do NOT be afraid you will offend people by telling them please don't touch my puppy him/her is/isn't fully vaccinated
🚫 Do NOT be afraid to speak your mind/voice your opinion to your veterinarian about policies, health contracts you have in place with your breeder and be sure they are listening BECAUSE believe it or not they aren't always right or know what's best when it comes to our breed!
If you don't know, are unsure of anything please reach out to your breeder or someone with knowledge to help guide you 🙂
