When people think about adopting a new puppy, they often picture warm hugs, adorable pictures, and bonding moments. Of course, there is more to caring for a dog than just cute stuff. You must actually care for your dog, providing it with everything

With crisp autumn winds sweeping upon us, it’s time to prepare for the changing seasons. (Pretty soon, it’ll be winter, and the red of the thermometer will go down even further!) As you rummage through your closet for sweaters and scarves, double check that you have everything needed to keep your dog warm this winter. Whether your furry friend spends most of their time indoors or outdoors, comfort and warmth are things they need on a regular basis, and you should never assume they already have it.

Puppies definitely go-go-go and all that energy requires a great deal of nourishment. Much like the support and maintenance needed to keep a car running well, puppies need their own special fuels and additives to stay in tip-top shape into adulthood.

So you brought a puppy home to call your own? Congratulations! As a new pet parent you are about to experience all the wonderful firsts that come with owning this new fur baby! At the top of the list should be scheduling your mini canine’s first veterinarian visit. Establishing regular vet visits from the beginning for a puppy will lay the foundation to build a lifetime of health and happiness.

They call it “Puppy Love” for a reason! Who can resist their charm?! However, it happened-a rescue find, a gift or purchasing a purebred, now that you own a baby canine, your life will never be the same. Most dog owners get immense pleasure from their animals, but that is not to say the process does not take some time, work and patience to do the job right. For both the puppy and the new parent establishing a good start will set the tone for a long happy life for both the future adult dog and his owner.
