What do you need before you pick up your puppy?
Sun Neptun recommends:
The basics that you will need for your puppy:
- Dog collar
- Leash (nylon or leather)
- Bowls, one for water, one for food
- Dog mat (if the dog is kept indoors, the straw baskets are not recommended), dog house (if kept outside)
- Toys - especially designed for dogs
- Brush for pelt, claw clippers, clean towel
Feeding
We recommend to feed the puppy at least 3 times a day up until 8 months old (the daily food portion should be divided
into 3 parts). From 8 months to 12 months feed your dog 2 times a day (the daily food portion is divided into 2)
and from 12 months on, we recommend to feed once a day. Use only the appropriate puppy food because growth defects
that occur due to malnutrition or lacking nutrients cannot be cured later in the dog's adulthood.
The water bowl needs to be always filled with clean water. The need for water is higher among puppies than among
adult dogs. It also changes with temperature, physical activity, humidity, and the type of food.
If the puppy is fed with dry granulated dog food, the need for water is higher.
ATTENTION!
Food Improper for Dogs:
- Chocolate and all products that contain cacao
- Leguminous plants, fresh bread, and certain vegetables (cauliflower, cabbage...) fed in larger dozes
cause excessive bowl movement.
For this reason they can only be added to food in small dozes.
- Fresh corn is not digestible for a dog, it is added into dog food only after a special treatment.
- Spices and smoked meat could cause defects in digesting track and they are toxic for dog.
Veterinarian care
