Raising Your Puppy
Once your puppy has been born:
As you prepare to bring your new puppy home, consider whether you’d like to pick up your puppy or have them delivered. We release puppies to their forever homes at 8 weeks, so if you plan on picking them up, this is a great time to start looking for flights to save on costs. By the time your puppy turns about 4 weeks old, it's a perfect moment to start your puppy home tips, ensuring you have their food, probiotics, a crate, and other essentials ready. This way, anything that needs to be shipped will arrive in time. When your puppy reaches 6 weeks, it’s ideal to call your local vet and schedule your puppy's first vet visit for their vaccinations. Following these steps will make either pick-up day or delivery go incredibly smooth as you embark on raising puppies.

A complete record of their vet visits is essential for puppy home tips. You'll also want to have copies of both parents' health testing results to ensure a healthy lineage.

Some Go Home Tips:
What should you expect in the first few weeks after bringing your new puppy home? This is a significant transition for your new puppy, so here are some puppy home tips to help ensure a smooth adjustment for both you and your furry friend. During this time, you may notice irregular eating and pooping patterns as your puppy acclimates to its new environment and schedule. To assist in this transition, try to maintain a routine that feels as normal as possible, allowing your new puppy to learn and adapt to your home.
Keep in mind that your new puppy is still young and vulnerable to various health issues. We strongly recommend waiting until after your puppy's vaccination at 12 weeks before taking them off your property. Even then, it's wise to avoid places like dog parks, the floor of any vet office, pet store floors, and other common dog areas where you are unsure of the vaccination history of other dogs until your puppy is fully vaccinated. This precaution is more about minimizing potential contact with dogs that have not received proper care than anything else. Once you do take them out, be sure to monitor the environment closely. Raising puppies requires vigilance and care, especially concerning their health and safety.
