Puppy Day

Puppy Day commemorates the delight that puppies could bring to our houses and lives, however is a terrific possibility to embrace an orphan or underprivileged dog and to provide them home, a caring moms and dad, and a chance at a happy life.

Who leaves their puppy alone all day?

No. You can't leave a puppy alone all day unless you want it to learn really bad habits, never be socialised properly and poo and pee all over the place. Get a professional dog walker/dog sitter to come in during the day to help with house training and give puppy something to do.

You won't find any sites about leaving a puppy alone all day because it's wrong.

Day old puppy won’t feed! HELP! ?

Day old puppy won't feed! HELP! ?

I am a bit confused as to the actual age of the puppy. 1-day old—2 or 3-days old?

One thing that many runt owners do by mistake is over-feed the pup. Since it's often small for its age some people think that feeding it more will help it grow faster. Not true. The pup will grow at its own rate, if fed properly.

On the other hand, if you believe that the runt is not getting adequate food and is losing weight, only then would my advice below apply. If the puppy still isn’t eating well or shows no sign of improvement after trying this method, you must take the puppy to the vet to be evaluated. It may be so small that it has underdeveloped lungs or eating abilities. The vet can tell you what is best for the puppy, but don't wait too long to take him in once you've determined that he is simply not eating.

Taking Care of a Runt Puppy

It is just part of nature that a dog sometimes delivers a litter of puppies that has a runt. While you may favor the runt because it is so tiny and cute, you also should realize that this tiny runt will need more care than the bigger, healthier puppies in the litter. Some runt puppies grow to be lively, healthy dogs, but unfortunately others do not survive. To ensure your runt puppy grows to be happy and healthy, you'll need to give it the best care possible.

It is my opinion that you should supplement the runt puppy's food intake by hand-feeding it several times a day. However, since the little guy doesn’t seem it respond well to a puppy-bottle feeder, you should use an eye-dropper instead. Feed the puppy tiny amounts of formula in between its nursing times with its mother, but still allow the mother to care for the runt as much as possible.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that you feed the puppy in a “prone” position. Put a towel on your lap and then place the puppy on the towel on his stomach with all four paws down. Lift his head slightly and squeeze only a few drops of formula at a time. Make sure to wipe his chin if any formula spills. Also make sure that you feed him in a location that is warm and free from drafts.

It is also important to keep the puppy warm. Its tiny body can't produce enough heat to keep warm. It may also be too weak to move close to the mother dog or the other puppies to keep warm. Place a directional lamp to shine on the puppies, and make sure they are not near any drafts. Or use a heating pad.

How long should i walk my puppy per day?

How long should i walk my puppy per day?

I would wait to walk her until she's been started on her shots.

For a 3 month old say 10-15 minutes once a day. This is going to make her EXTREMELY tired. She'll sleep for a few hours afterward..this was my favorite time of the day with my puppy :]

As she ages you'll have to up the amount of time. You have to tailor it to fit your dog. By 6 months she'll be bouncing off the walls with energy and it only gets worse. By then you should be walking her at LEAST 45 minutes once a day. If you can do twice that would be awesome.

I have a 9 and a half month old German Shepherd. She's a monster if she doesn't get exercised. And I do mean monster...she gets destructive when she's bored and hasn't been exercised. I also take mine to the dog park for an hour usually everyday. I have a chuck it and I run her for almost the entire time. It gets her energy out and I don't mind taking her.

For now you're looking at 10-15 minutes once she's been started on her shots.

:]
