We do NOT allow for early visitations. The litters health is of top priority, and unintended transmission of serious virus/illness (parvo/kennel cough) happens all too frequently when early visitors are allowed.

 

What Puppy Food Will they be Eating?

Pedigree Canned Food- Chopped Ground Dinner with Chicken

(These little guys can be very picky eaters. And its important that they like what they eat in order make sure we avoid any risk of them going into hypoglycemic shock. Hypoglycemia is when their blood sugar levels drop very quick (due to lack of eating and/or very low body fat). This is something that is very common with really small dogs. If they play really hard but haven’t eaten much their bodies can go into shock. So I always want to stress that they need to like their food, and make sure they have it available to them frequently. With that being said, we have tried a couple different types of puppy foods and even dry food for this litter, none of which did they take a liking to. That is how we ended on the Pedigree Canned food. THEY LOVE IT!! lol. which is what we want.)  Please feel free to change their food as needed. I tried just last week to try them again on a puppy food, but was unsuccessful in getting all 3 of them to eat it. Always remember that when changing to new foods, do it slowing. Mix in the new food with existing food gradually over a couple day period to make sure you don’t upset their tummies.

What You Will be Taking Home with Puppy

I know everyone is getting excited as we are getting closer to pick up date! especially since they are doing so well, and you get to meet them a week early. I only have a short window of time on Saturday. So if you have scheduled your early pick up, they are all scheduled between 12-1:30 in 15 minute increments. To help answer any questions and provide you with a heads up of what you will be receiving in the puppy folder, I though id upload examples bellow. 3 primary documents- bill of sale (complete transfer of ownership to you), birth certificate, and shot records.

Here is some basic information about the puppies schedule, and eating:
Eating- 3-4times per day. this can change to your schedule. right now they eat about 6am, 11am, 3pm, and 7pm. with the entire litter, I do feed them 4 times just to make sure that they all get plenty of food, and no one gets left behind. With puppies as little as these guys it is always important to make sure they have ample opportunity to eat. Sometimes they can play so hard, that their bodies will send them into hypoglycemic shock due to low body fat. As precautions, especially if they will be by themselves for any length of time, it can be a good idea to just leave food in with them in their pens.

I do let them eat as much as they want. They are so little, it might just be a bite or two at a time. Puppies are like toddlers. some days they will eat a lot, others not as much. that is ok as long as they are offered food in a way to where they are never limited, (again, with these little guys, sometimes just leaving food out for them to eat is the safest bet) Plus, this will help them not get food aggression tendencies or over eat.
They generally poop when they eat. so allowing them to have a place to do their business during eating time, is good idea.

It is normal for them to be nervous the first day or two as they go home. so if they don’t eat much, its just nerves and excitement- totally normal. they will catch up by eating more later that day or the next.
Make sure they have access to water. If a puppy goes without water for a long duration that can lead to a bladder infection.

Puppy Shots

They will all be getting their first set of shots soon. then each incremental shots will be given a month apart.
The puppies usually come back with a negative fecal- which means no worms or parasite. That is very common for the desert- not much lives here in our dry, hot climate. Some vets may ask for you to run another fecal out of precaution.
