A mat for a sleeping place for a puppy, a collar, a leash, a muzzle, bowls for food and water, a balanced diet, toys, bones for teeth
Instructions
Step 1
Small puppies are very curious, and during the period when their teeth are teething, they are able to start gnawing everything, so it is necessary to remove all wires to an inaccessible height, close shoes in the closet, lock utility rooms and trash cans. Also, try not to throw small objects and things on the floor until you teach your puppy not to spoil everything.
Step 2
Raising a small pet should be started from the very first days of its appearance in the house. This requires a lot of patience and a few tips from experienced dog handlers, which can be found in training books or on the Internet. If in doubt about your own abilities, send your puppy to a special dog school, where he will be taught all the necessary skills.
Step 3
Take care of the habitat of your ward, it should be comfortable and away from drafts and heating appliances. The puppy needs to get used to its place and learn to fall asleep on it.
Step 4
Provide your pet with a balanced diet, the diet should include vitamins, minerals, proteins and fats in sufficient quantities for normal development and growth. Be sure to include meat, cereals, dairy products and vegetables on the menu. There is also a ready-made food specially designed for puppies, it already contains all the necessary nutrients, but you should not feed your baby only with them. Animals, like humans, need variety in their food, and in addition, puppies need to gnaw on hard bones for the normal development of their teeth.
Step 5
Don't forget about pet hygiene. The puppy needs to wipe his eyes and ears with a damp cloth, regularly bathe in warm water with a special shampoo, and comb. Take special care of your pet's teeth, you should not allow the appearance of tartar and yellow plaque, purchase toys and bones for caring for the dog's oral cavity at the pet store.
Step 6
Daily walks of the puppy should be frequent and long enough, this is necessary not only for hygiene purposes, but also to ensure normal physical activity, without which the dog cannot grow up healthy. A puppy under one year old should be taken outside at least four times a day.
Step 7
Take your pet to your veterinarian from time to time to make sure it is free of disease and developmental disabilities. Be sure to get all the necessary vaccinations.
