• Just remember bringing home your new puppy is like bringing home a new baby.

• Limit excitement and handling as much as possible. Puppies require about 16 hours of sleep a day. They sleep about 3 hours & maybe play & eat about 1 hour. If they do not get their rest they will get sick.

• 2lb puppies do not eat much at one time; therefore they must eat several times a day and have a good dry puppy food available at all times. It should have 18% or more fat. I recommend Nutri Source Small & Medium Puppy. You can locate a story near you at www.nutrisourcedogfood.com.

• Provide lots of chewing toys.

• I highly recommend using a oatmeal base shampoo (never use people shampoo) to keep hair & skin healthy.

• On longhair puppies be sure to keep the hair on their rear-end clipped for cleanliness.

• Have your puppy spayed or neutered!! This also helps if done before 16 weeks of keeping you male dog from maturing and having the need to lift his leg to pee or worse yet hump your friends leg.

A Puppy Is Not A Toy, It's For Life
