Puppy Tips
1. 6-10 weeks is considered an ideal age for a puppy to move to a new home.We prefer 8weeks.
2. Prevention of unplanned litters is an important part of responsible pet ownership. Talk to your veterinarian about the best time to have your puppy spayed or neutered.
3. When possible, meet the puppy's parents, their temperaments are often a good indicator of what the puppy's temperament will be.
4. If you're getting a puppy from as a 2nd pet, remember that some older pets may be less tolerant of a puppy's behaviour. Ask your vet or dog trainer about introducing your into its new animal family.
5. Proper socialization of puppies during critical socialization period (3-14weeks of age) has a big impact on your dog's behaviour for the rest of its life. See avma.org/socialization
6. Consult with your veterinarian to determine how best to care for your dog including preventive health care socialization and training.
Socialization prepares dogs and cats to enjoy interactions and be comfortable with other animals, people, places and activities.
