When did you try to groom my Susanah? LOL
1. At what age do you first take your puppy to the groomers?
A) Call around. Most groomers won't take them until they have their rabies shots - around 4 - 6 months.
2. How often should a little dog take a bath?
A) I'd like to bathe Susanah every other week, but she's a little tomboy and usually ends up getting a bath about once a week
3. Do I need to buy a baby bath? I was told to never place them in a kitchen sink.
A) I bathed Susanah in the sink when she was younger. I made my hubby stand right there ready to catch her if she tried to bolt. Now I bathe her in the tub.
4. Does little dog uses different dog shampoo from bigger dogs?
A) I use Johnson's baby shampoo on her face and Pantene on her body.
5. At what age should I allow the little dog to eat an doggie snack?
A) As soon as you bring him home and start training
6. What type of doggie snack would you recommend?
A)Susanah loves yogurt drops, we also use Nature's Recipe training treats (available at Petsmart)
7. Where should the puppy sleep the first night?
A) I attempted to have Susanah sleep in her stroller. She cried. I'm a wimp. She started sleeping with me.
8. Is pee pads worth the money?
A)Yes
9. I had heard that there was a toy that simulated the mother heartbeat
Do you know where to buy one?
A) our Pets Supplies Plus had something like this. You could also buy one of the bears out of the baby department of Wal-Mart or Target
10. Is it easy to housebreak a small dog?
A) I would say no. I say that because my Susanah STILL is not housetrained, however that is more my fault than hers.
Good luck with your little one! I can't wait to see pictures.
