Puppy Video - How to Care For Puppies

Posted by Clare Bristow

This puppy video gives a good overview of the basics of new puppy care, and is a good reminder of all the things you need to think about - bedding, toilet training, diet, grooming, playing and health issues.

The video runs for 4:59, and the dachshund puppies in the video are very cute!


VideoJug: How To Care For Puppies

Here are 5 good tips from the video:

1. Take one of your blankets to the breeder/rescue center a few days before bringing your puppy home so he gets used to sleeping on it and so he will have something that's familiar to him when you bring him home;
2. Take your puppy outside to go to the toilet frequently, particularly straight after meals and as soon as he wakes up;
3. Get your puppy used to being handled by picking him up and gently running your hand over his head, body and legs;
4. When your puppy is tired and sleeping in his bed (or crate), don't disturb him - teach your puppy that his bed is a safe place he can go to and won't be disturbed; and
5. Groom your puppy every day - not only will it help the two of you bond but you can check his skin and coat for any health problems at the same time.

Which Toys Are Most Fun for a Puppy?

Posted by Clare Bristow

In my opinion, it's the free ones!

I just can't admit to how much I spent on plush dog toys for Zoe when she was a puppy - but I don't think I'm alone on this. Ask most puppy owners where the money goes in the first few months, and I bet it's on toys.

However, Zoe seemed to be at her happiest charging around the deck chasing an empty plastic milk carton (top screwed on to stop her cutting her mouth) or demolishing a cardboard box with great enthusiasm.

I was reminded of how much fun free toys were by this video of Bernard the Miniature Schnauzer playing with a broom - click onto Bernard's site to see lovely photos of all the other 'free' things he's found to play with!

Labrador Puppies Having Fun

Posted by Clare Bristow

This puppy video shows two Labradors, Ben and Tegan playing together. It reminds me of when Fritz and Zoe have chews - Fritz just gets on and eats his whilst Zoe always keeps an eye on Fritz to see if she can spot an opportunity to snaffle his chew!

Enjoy the video, it runs for 2m35s.
