Puppy care sheet
Please read carefully and print for your records.
Puppies should have at least 3 vaccines to prevent disease.
Your puppy will have had at least two vaccines before you take him/her home, please take the
vaccine record with you to your vet appointment so that they may put you on a schedule. A puppy
should have a booster at 1 year. Please follow the advice of your vet. Your pup should have a
rabies vaccine at 4 months and can be spayed/neutered at 4 months.
Your puppy needs to see the vet within 48 hours of you receiving him/her, please take a poop
sample in a baggy to the vet at this time. There are parasites that can only be detected by
microscope and cured by prescription drug. I am not responsible for any vet costs. You have a 1
year guarantee on genetic life threatening defects only, with proof in writing from a licensed
Veterinarian. Guarantee = Puppy replacement within 1 year of similar size and gender. Conditions
corrected by surgery are not covered.
Your puppy eats Royal Canin small breed dry puppy food, canned (Pedigree puppy) mixed in, in
small amounts. All small breed puppies can have a sugar drop if they do not get enough sleep, do
not eat well enough or are stressed. A sugar drop will cause them to act lethargic. It is important
for the first month you mix a tiny bit of sugar in their water, every day. Make sure they are eating
well several times a day. I strongly suggest going to a pet store and buying Nutrical. It comes in a
tube like toothpaste; a couple times a day put about half inch on your finger and let them lick it off.
If they won’t, then put it gently on the roof of their mouths. This increases appetite and keeps
their blood sugar up.
Your puppy will come with a blanket, food, toys and potty pads to start you off. Use puppy potty
pads for the best results in potty training.
Please make sure your puppy gets plenty of rest, they are babies and need to sleep often and eat
often. Please make sure there is fresh food and water available for your puppy at all times.
A playpen is a great way to bring a new puppy into the home, when you are busy doing non puppy
related work he/she can be safely tucked away in their playpen with their food, water, bed, toys
and potty pads. When you leave the house you won't have to worry that they will get hurt or have
accidents all over. Be careful when they are little that they don't jump off the bed or couch and
hurt themselves.
All sales are final unless it falls under the guarantee and deposits are non-refundable. Spay or
neuter your puppy and receive $50.00 back! Bathe them with baby shampoo and conditioner.
Please keep your puppy its whole life, if you cannot keep him/her please find a home that will keep
them forever. I will take them back at any age if you get into a bind, I DO NOT want any of these
puppies to end up in a shelter. Remember to love them forever, even when they have bad days.
Never, ever hit a puppy, they don't understand. A tap on the nose and a scolding voice tells them
everything. Size and coloring or the ability to breed cannot be guaranteed.
Enjoy your new baby; I am always here to answer questions. Your happiness is important.

Potty training guide:
We begin each puppy on potty pads. Normally when they leave us they are at least 80% potty pad
trained.
As you will discover, once you train yourself to be consistent the puppy will train extraordinarily fast.
Normally when they make mistakes it is our fault.
Your puppy must be kept in a small area.
A bathroom or kitchen works great for training.
Cover 3/4 of the floor area with pads, put his food, toys, water, and bed in there.
He needs to spend a considerable amount of time in there in order to learn to use the pads.
Always when he first wakes up he must go into his area, also after he has played for about 20 minutes
and about 10 minutes after eating.
Once he figures out without fail that he is to use the pads then they can be placed all over the rest of
the areas he is allowed to roam.
I would shut bedroom doors and just allow him the run of the living room and bathroom. Baby gates
work great to confine to an area.
The freedom to roam however cannot be allowed until he has been confined and knows to use the
pads.
That must be taught first.
Complete potty training can be achieved in a 2 week period if you stay constant with the training.
After a couple weeks of being able to roam the house and success at only using pads you can slowly
begin to remove pads until you are down to only 1 in each room.
Accidents will happen because they are like young children potty training.
The more consistent you are with training the faster he will learn, it is a routine you must get into.
