Suffolk Dog Retailer with Advice

Puppies need a lot of care, especially in their first few days and weeks. Fortunately, Suffolk dog retailer, Shake a Paw, has the advice you need to make your new puppy comfortable and ensure that he or she is healthy as can be.

On the ride home from Shake a Paw, puppies can become sick. In fact, this is common for the first couple of trips. Take steps to make your new puppy feel as good as possible by bringing another person along to hold the puppy as you travel. Roll the window to about 3'' or 4'' from the top and have your passenger rub the underneath of your new puppy's neck, slowly but constantly. If, when returning from Long Island, your dog does get sick, clean up when you get home and give your puppy about 45 minutes for his or her tummy to settle. After a short rest, he or she will be just fine.

Long Island Dog Retailer's Advice

There are a few things you can expect in the first few days after returning from Long Island. Dog nervousness is common in the first few days at home. Your puppy is experiencing a change in sounds and smells, which can be a bit unsettling, and that nervousness can lead to diarrhea, lack of a desire to eat, and moments of fright. If your puppy appears frightened, back away and talk soothingly to him or her. Whistle softly and when your new puppy comes over to sniff you, pat him or her on the head and your new puppy should be just fine afterwards.

If any of the above symptoms persist beyond a few days, it's a good idea to contact a veterinarian. If your Suffolk dog experiences blood or mucus in their stool, worms in their stool, or shows signs of kennel cough or hypoglycemia, those are things to be aware of and consult your veterinarian about.
