FEEDING
Small, Regular Meals
Keep the same food at first, feed small meals on a schedule and change slowly.
HEALTH
Keep Up With Vet Visits
Follow your vet’s vaccination and deworming schedule and keep all records together.
ROUTINE
Potty Training
Take your puppy out after meals, naps and play. Be consistent and praise every success.

Plenty of Sleep
Puppies sleep a lot. Give them a quiet, cozy spot where they can rest without interruptions.
SOCIAL
Gentle Introductions
Introduce new people, sounds and places little by little, once your vet says it’s safe.
GROOMING
Start Early
Brushing, nail trims and baths early on help your puppy enjoy grooming.
