They’re cute and cuddly and the unconditional love they offer is priceless for any new puppy parent.
On March 23, National Puppy Day celebrates our four legged little companions and all of the love and affection they bring into our lives.
With the hope of improving the lives of puppies everywhere, National Puppy Day also recognizes the need to raise awareness about puppy mills and helps prospective pet owners considering adoption.
Bringing a new puppy home is always exciting, and no doubt a fun time, but a lack of preparation or puppy care experience can make those early days stressful.
After you have chosen your puppy and while waiting for the big day, you will need to puppy-proof your home.
The following covers essential supplies you’ll need before introducing your puppy into your home.
There are many potential hazards for a new puppy as they begin to explore their new home. Puppies, like small children, will investigate everything. For this reason, it is important to thoroughly puppy-proof your house. This will help protect both your new puppy and your belongings.
Some important things to check include:
As a new puppy parent, you should also register with a veterinarian and book any necessary vaccination appointments. You can also speak with your veterinary clinic about a recommended vaccination schedule.
You may also want to think about signing your puppy up for training classes. Puppies can learn how to interact with other dogs, and you may also learn some good tips about puppy care.
