HOW TO HELP PUPPY ADJUST
· Keep the following points in mind:

· Babies are raised inside my home. They have no contact with anyone other than their dam and breeder and husband; this is to prevent exposing them to disease.
· They are socialized to the best of my ability keeping in mind the above.
· They never travel anywhere; my vet does a home visit for vaccination and microchips.
· Some do get car sick, others don’t. I have no idea of this in advance.
· They are not allowed outside at all. The ones I keep, only after their second vaccination and a couple of weeks have passed. They are then allowed to play in the puppy area only, where adult dogs are off limits.
· They are used to eating what I provide them.
· They are used to drinking the water available here
· They do not have interaction with young children or babies, for their own protection.
· They have no interaction with cats or other pets.
· They are not allowed to roam free inside my home, they are inside puppy pens with their little beds, food, water, and toilet area covered in newspapers. And lots of toys…of course!
· Puppy pens otherwise known as exercise pens are especially made for dogs. They are not crates, and very much like human baby play pens.
· It is recommended you keep your puppy in a puppy pen for rest and when not supervised. Puppies, just like babies, need rest and sleep periods.
· Please supervise closely if you allow your puppy to interact with children. They should not be permitted to carry young puppies around.
· Please give your puppy time to settle into his new surroundings. They don’t know you or their new home, some may react with being timid or frightened, which is natural. Give them time to settle in and accustomed.
· Keep to the diet I have provided.
· It is up to you to house train your puppy, some learn sooner than others, patience is needed.
· Do not bath or blow dry your puppy for at least three weeks, giving him enough time to settle in and trust you. All puppies are bathed before leaving here.
· All Cupidtown puppies are free of external and internal parasites. Worm your puppy two weeks after you get him. I use Troy puppy suspension.
· Make sure toys are suitable for puppies so as they can’t remove small objects and choke.
· Think as a puppy would, make your home and yard puppy proof.
· Certain plants are poisonous to dogs, do a Google search to learn which ones shouldn’t be in the reach of puppies.
· Chocolate is deadly for all dogs. And small chunks of meat can choke them.
· Be careful with electrical cords which puppy may chew on.
· Keep puppies away from swimming pools.
· Keep puppies inside during the extremes of weather.
· Puppies do not cope well with humid weather, make sure you have a fan on to circulate air.
