The arrival of a new puppy in the household is greeted with cheer and happiness. While it is indeed a great moment for the house training and your puppy and taking care of it is indeed a big job which requires lot of focused hard work and tons of patience. There are some basic thing which must be done when a puppy lands in your house. The first thing is to take your pet to the best vet around in the town and have a thorough check up done. Pups are very weak when they are newly born and are prone to lot of infections. The most common infection is hookworm and other infections which should be immediately addressed and remedied. If neglected, they could play havoc with your puppy’s health and could even prove fatal to it.
A visit to the vet will solve lot of other problems like vaccination and diagnosing any birth defects like cleft palate or some problems with their vital organs. The next important thing is training the puppy once it is home. You should start with small things and the most primary thing that you should start with is developing a good potty habit. The first few days will be problematic but you should be patient and persevering. Never be negative with your pet puppy. Scolding or beating the puppy is bound to create a lot of negativity between you and the puppy. On the other hand if you are positive and appreciate the good work done by the puppy it will go a long way in training it that much better.
The food which you provide to the puppy should be nutritious.
