Puppy Basics

Puppy basics includes what to feed a puppy and, what NOT to do with a new puppy.

Puppy Foods could include:

• Cottage cheese
• Plain Yogurt
• Scrambled Egg
• Purina Puppy Chow in blue and white bag
• Pedigree canned food
• Foods out of the human baby food section of the store
• Rice and boiled chicken
• Nothing greasy or salty
• Nutra Cal or sugar water if low in energy (hypoglycemic)

Things Not to do:

• Rest stop areas (possible rabid wildlife)
• Parks (parvo - if a new puppy and not fully immunized)
• Unattended on high areas
• Swimming pools
• When going to the vet do not expose the puppy to anything except the exam table. (sick animals go to the vet)

These are just some of the things I warn new puppy owners about, see my full page on puppy proofing here.
