Puppy Care

Feeding Your Puppy: Your puppy will be eating Royal Canin Small Breed Puppy Food when it comes home. We will give you a puppy starter kit to take home with
you. Royal Canin can be purchased at most pet supply stores.

Grooming: Daily bushing is recommended to maintain the
coat and keep it mat free. Brushing loosens and removes dirt, dead hair, and skin cells.

Bathing - Your puppy should be washed every 10-12 days. Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Always use a blow dryer to dry their hair after bathing.

Keep the ears, the hair on their feet and around the rectum trimmed & their nails short. Nails should be trimmed so that they just clear the floor. If you hear them
clicking, they're probably too long. Avoid clipping past the curve of the nail, or you risk hitting what is called the quick. A nick there is painful and will cause
bleeding. Clip only the hooklike part of the nail that turns down.

Teeth: Use a tooth brush and paste made for dogs available at all pet stores. Have the teeth checked by a vet @ 6-8 months. Sometimes baby teeth need to be
removed. Teeth should be cleaned frequenty. Your vet can advise you on your dog's oral hygiene needs.

Ears: ( For Yorkies only ) Keep the hair on the top third of the ear flaps trimmed very short. This way excessive hair won't weigh down the ears before they are firmly
"set," at around six months of age. Ears should be cleaned once a month. More often if your dog is prone to ear problems.

Health Concerns:
Hypoglycemia: CAN BE LIFE THREATENING ( for all toy breeds ). Please KEEP YPUR NEW PUPPY ON THE NUVET WAFERS OR POWDER. THIS WILL HELP

Can happen when you take your new puppy home. It can get stressed by their new environment ,lack of sleep and over- handling. They may refuse to eat because
their food has changed or they don't know where the food is. Changes in temperature of the room that they are used to can also be the cause of stress.

SIGNS TO LOOK FOR:
1. Depression
2. Weakness
3. Being wobbly or jerky
4. Convulsions,seizures (the head appears to be tilted to either left or right side, the neck appears stiff and in a locked position,and the body may soon appear the
same way and the teeth may be clamped tightly)
5. Coma, which can result in death
6.Your puppy may be lifeless or limp with grayish-blue gums and tongue.

Low blood sugar is the cause and the blood glucose level must be raised at once. DON'T WAIT every second counts. Mix corn syrup, honey, or sugar with equal
proportion of water and using a syringe, feed the pup 10cc orally four times a day.
Hypoglycemia, if treated in time, should leave no lasting affects and as long as the stress is eliminated it shouldn't occur again.

Toy puppies sometimes develop patella problems from jumping from couches, chairs etc. This can injure their knees. Discourage jumping to protect their knees.
