Frequently Asked Questions
What puppy supplies are absolutely essential for bringing home a new puppy?
Essential puppy supplies include food and water bowls, puppy food, a comfortable bed, potty training pads, a crate for safe transport and rest, chew toys for teething, and grooming tools like brushes and nail trimmers.
Should I start with puppy pads for potty training or go straight to outdoor training?
Puppy pads are a great starting point for potty training inside, especially useful in apartments or during harsh weather. As your puppy grows, transition to outdoor training for a more sustainable routine.
Should I use a puppy harness or a puppy collar for walking my young dog?
A puppy harness is recommended for walking young dogs as it offers better control and reduces stress on your puppy's developing neck and spine. Adjust the fit regularly as your puppy grows.
When do I need to use puppy dewormer and how often should I give it?
Puppy deworming schedules are typically set by your vet, usually starting as young as 2-3 weeks of age and then every two weeks until 12 weeks old. Regular deworming protects against common parasites.
Do puppies need puppy vitamins and puppy supplements or is quality puppy food enough for their nutrition?
Quality puppy food is formulated to meet nutritional requirements. However, some puppies might benefit from additional vitamins or supplements as recommended by a vet, particularly for specific health conditions.
