How to take care of your puppy

1. Provide a Dog Bed.

We never had one before, our dogs would just sleep on rugs. But when we bought one for Meeko, she felt right at home!

We bought one so we can help her establish her place in our home. Once she claimed her space, we can more easily toilet train her.

We bought one from Pillows and More, at Php 900.00, were are able to buy a beauty. We got ours from UP Town Center.

2. Water dispenser.
As I am currently training at the National Kidney & Transplant Institute, I know that Leptospirosis is now on the rise. Tales of dogs dying within 1-2 days who had fever and jaundice sounds like Leptospirosis to me. Having a water bottle like this ensures fresh water for your pet versus having a water bowl which can be exposed to rats/cockroach and whatnots.
Brought this also at UP Town Center in the hardware store there at the 2nd floor at around Php500-600. Better safe that sorry, I say.
The thing is, Meeko can't operate it when we bought it for her. So every time we wanted to make her drink, we would operate it ourselves until enough water collects in the bottom portion, supposedly for food. Now, I just saw her drink from it! SUCCESS!

3. Shots!
5-in-1 and Rabies to protect our pets from dangerous diseases which will cost you more if your pet will have it.
I am not an expert at this, and I rely HEAVILY on my Veterinarian Aunt to remind us of her shots.
But first of all, you should get the shots record of your puppy from the owner. Then have an appointment with a friendly Vet for updates.

Flea shots can be given, too.

4. Dental hygiene
Daily Dentastix or daily brushing of teeth using a baby's toothbrush and a dog toothpaste for your canine's canines!

5. Chew Toy
Sources tell us to not give chew toys with any semblance to anything you wear s.a socks, t-shirt, etc.
Puppies need at least 20 minutes per day of play time/stimulation to dissipate their energies, otherwise they get anxious, destructive, and everything Cesar Milan so desperately tries to rehabilitate.
