| Puppy Daycare Posted: 01 Sep 2010 09:32 AM PDT If you work all day, have a dog, and are tired of coming home to a stressed out pooch, then puppy daycare may be for you. Puppy daycare can help keep your dog occupied and happy while you are at work. There are two main types of doggie daycare: Private, in-home facilities and commercial dog daycare programs. Private facilities are typically smaller than commercial facilities, and may be based out of someone's home. Commercial facilities may offer more services than their smaller counterparts. The cost of puppy daycare varies greatly, and will depend largely on the services provided, the geographical area, and the amount of time your puppy spends in the program. If you love your dog, but feel that you are not spending enough time with him, then a puppy daycare may be a good way to keep your dog occupied while you are at work. Likewise, if your dog becomes destructive after spending house alone while you are gone, a doggie daycare program may keep both of you ... Keep on reading: Puppy Daycare and about puppy care |
| Newborn Puppy Care Posted: 30 Aug 2010 09:29 AM PDT Unless there are special circumstances, like if the litter is separated from the mother, newborn puppy care should be left to the mother dog. If your dog has given birth to a litter of pups, there are still things you can do to help her. Be sure the mother dog has access to food and fresh, clean water. The mother should have adequate shelter and should feel safe with her litter. When the puppies are very young, you should limit handling newborn puppies in the beginning for several reasons. Newborn puppies are precious, but also vulnerable without their mother to provide for their every need. You should care for the mother dog so she can focus her energy on caring for her new puppies, especially in the first few weeks. As the puppies get older, they will be busy exploring and you may need to help the mother ensure the pups stay safe. Newborn puppy care is important because the puppies are so fragile and delicate. To help the mother, remember that a nursing dog needs more food and... Keep on reading: Newborn Puppy Care and about puppy care |

| Feeding a Puppy Posted: 25 Aug 2010 09:22 AM PDT If you want a healthy, happy puppy then you should learn about feeding a puppy properly. Puppies need food that is specially formulated with nutrients their growing bodies need. It is best to establish a feeding schedule with your puppy for a number of reasons. Above all else, it is important to remember that water is essential to growing puppies. How you feed your puppy is not nearly as important as what you feed your puppy. Once a new puppy is weaned from his mother, you are responsible for giving your puppy food that will help him grow and stay healthy. It is recommended that you start off using the same brand your puppy was fed before you brought him home. If you choose to change brands, you should introduce the new brand slowly, over the course of 7-10 days. While there are three types of dog food available, dry kibble, semi-moist, and moist, most experts believe you should only feed your puppy dry kibble. More expensive foods generally contain higher-quality ingredients while ... Keep on reading: Feeding a Puppy and about puppy care |
| Bathing a Puppy Posted: 23 Aug 2010 09:19 AM PDT After a while, the new puppy smell may become a stinky puppy smell, and you will have to start thinking about giving your puppy a bath. There are a few things you should know before bathing a puppy. First, your puppy should be at least eight weeks old, and you should use a shampoo that is formulated for puppies' delicate skin. Secondly, you should ease your puppy into the idea of bath time, as many dogs do not like to stand or sit in the tub. Giving your puppy time to adjust will likely make all future baths much easier. Finally, be sure your puppy is thoroughly rinsed while avoiding getting soap in her eyes and ears. There will likely come a time in every puppy's life when it is time for a bath. While many dogs enjoy playing in the water, bath time is much different and many owners find it difficult bathing a puppy, or grown dog for that matter. Because puppies have such delicate skin, you should not bathe a puppy younger than eight weeks old and should limit baths to once ever... Keep on reading: Bathing a Puppy and about puppy care |
| Caring for Puppies Posted: 20 Aug 2010 09:15 AM PDT Caring for puppies can take a lot of time and energy, but the bonding between pet and owner during this time is also very rewarding. Newborn puppies are delicate, little creatures and should be primarily cared for by their mothers. Caring for a puppy after it has left its littermates and brought home is a fun and loving time.
