To start with I have a little angel at home who's name is Mafia and now he is 3 months. We brought him when he was 3 weeks old small tiny little thing. My birthday gift which I always wanted since a small child and finally have it today….. WOW
DREAM COME TRUE
People laugh when we tell them my pup’s name is MAFIA but he is so naughty and playful so his name does suit him. He is a Lab Retriever.
Before you get a pup home please do a little research if you didn’t have a Dog before.
Find out about a good vet near your house.
The pup should be atleast 6 weeks old only then you must adopt him. He'll be scared intially but will get use to you.
3.Buy him a bowl for his milk as he will not be able to eat anything for sometime. (Available at any pet shop). You need to dilute the milk the vet will advice u any ways
4.Buy some rubber toys so he can play with it I mean Rubber bones.
5.Get your pup a bed to sleep on (available at any pet shops)
6.Buy him Tick powder.
7.You also need to remember pups are just like small kids so think before you get one home as u will need to spend a lot of time. Someone needs to monitor him coz he should swallow anything at all.
8.Keeps things out of reach coz he'll want to pla with everything.
9.A young puppy has no bladder control and will need to urinate immediately after eating, drinking, sleeping or playing. At night, he will need to relieve himself at least every three hours.
10.Once you have you get your pup home please take him to the vet and vaccinate him.
11.Don’t give them bath till their 3 months but can just wipe them with a wet towel n wipe them quickly.
12.Please don’t cut his nails ever ask the vet to do so and also ask the vet to clean his ears
13.Don’t tie him as he is small and might get choked.
14.After you give him all the shots then please register him.
15.He will be teething so will try to bite everything possible like furniture etc.
16.Talk to him like u would talk to a child.
I hope this helps somebody who is planning on getting a pup.
Another thing I would like to mention is when you come back home n see ur pup so excited to see u back makes you u feel GREAT I always tell my friends that ur family might not be so excited but the little angel would be.
Pls leave ur comments......
