Enjoying Your Puppies The Right Way

Puppies are adorable pets for everyone

Puppies are adorable pets for everyone. They look cute, are endearing companions and are fun to take care of. This may be true, but behind the fun is a lot of responsibility one needs to undertake to properly care for a puppy.

Each day in the United States, about five million puppies are born. Some thirty percent of American families own at least one dog. It is a sixty-day waiting period for the average puppy before they are born to their mothers. Puppies enter the world unable to properly smell, hear, or see. A puppy doesn't open its eyes until it is about 10 to 15 days old. It takes about a month for a puppy to fully develop its sense of sight. Puppies are able to smell and hear in a similarly fast amount of time. By a puppy's third or fourth week, their 28 temporary teeth would begin appearing. By their fourth month, their 42 permanent teeth begin to develop. You can help the process by getting some chew toys for your puppy. This would be important since puppies need to chew to accelerate the loss of their baby teeth.

A puppy dog would need the comfort of its fellow puppies and their mother dog when very young. For best results, a puppy shouldn't be separated from its mother and siblings too early - let it wean for about two months before letting it run free.

Be very careful when buying a new puppy for yourself. It's not just important to consider one's needs, but also those of the owner's family and neighbors. Neighbors hate puppies who run around causing trouble and mischief. A puppy's owner should be more sensitive to the puppy's comfort and well being. Pose questions to yourself before going out and buying a puppy. Is it important to buy your puppy a cage or pen to avoid dirtying up your backyard? Is your house too claustrophobic or perfect for the puppy you're buying? Does your puppy need some extra recreation? This is because puppies are more active than adult dogs. A puppy can either be docile (well-behaved) or playful (usually hyperactive) - which would you prefer? Your puppy's cleanliness and ease of maintenance should be thought of. You will need to budget things as some puppies need to eat a specific kind of food while young. Is your budget amenable to giving your puppy proper veterinary maintenance? Send your puppy to the vet by its second month for initial vaccines, and again by its fourth month for boosters.

Puppies are frisky and friendly and a lot of fun. Just give them the right care. Name your puppies in the same way you'd name other pets and call them often by name. Love your puppies almost in the same way you'd love your kids (if you have any) - give them enough attention and rewards. This way you can be rewarded in turn with companionship, friendship and love. Now this is what it really means to show puppy love.
