Does your friend have a website I can look at? Can they also do better than $12.00 visits??
Thanks! |
Everyone has offerred their advice.
The first one as you and Misty observed, you'll have to take your pup to and at the young age your pup is, it isn't an option.
The other option is coming into your home, which the 2nd one will do. However, are they experienced in taking care of your pups needs? I'm sure they can once you go over the pups schedule with them, emergency numbers, etc. I understand the $12.00 a visit is a bit steep. However, you might view it in a different light. They will be handling your pup with special care. Their gas/time alone is barely covered at that fee.
Leaving your pup at the vet's is a bit scarey too. Exposing it to sick dogs.....
Another option you may have. Is possible contacting some reputable breeders in your area (try YTCA.org breeder referral). Someone that is experienced handling tiny yorkie pups. Some would be very willing to care for your pup until it is old enough to be left for longer lengths of time. Not only wuold your puppy recieve great care, but with someone such as this, your pup would be socialized, potty trained, etc. I wish I lived closer, I'd do it for you.
