To obtain useful experience as first-time dog raisers, you can refer to the information below to equip yourself with the necessary knowledge and confidence to bring your beloved pet home.
Nutrition
You can look for nutritional products specifically for puppies available on the market. These feeds contain a special formula with a balance of substances such as proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals that pets need to grow. In addition, never ever feed your pet with butter, chocolate, raisins, and caffeine-containing foods because these will seriously affect his health.
Hygiene
In the first 1-2 months, clean your dog with a wet or damp towel. Body parts such as eyes, ears or genitals should also be thoroughly cleaned. When your dog is more mature, you can bathe him with warm water as well as specialized shower gel.

Some diseases that are commonly found in puppies that you need to know to take preventive measures as well as appropriate care:
- Kennel cough
- Gastritis
- Bronchitis
- Convulsions
- Rabies
- Canine distemper
- Diarrhea
Therefore, it is necessary to periodically send your pet to the clinic to detect abnormalities, thereby minimizing the worst possible risks.
