She is so adorable and sweet!! I have been taking her out and she gets right down to business and then hops on my feet to stay warm. She's only had a couple accidents inside so far. So proud of her. I even got her a couple shirts to wear when we go out
I took her to the vet the day after I got her and they did a full check up on her, including bloodwork and a stool sample. They gave me some science diet to give her instead of the Eukanuba puppy the breeder gave me (because she was barely eating the Eukanuba). Anyway, she immediately started eating that, but then doesn't seem to like it anymore.
However, she loves cat food and LOVES human food LOL. She goes crazy over it. So she is hungry, just doesn't like her own food. Should I keep trying different foods? Any specific recommendations? I've been giving her nutri cal quite a bit, as the vet said to give her a dab of that every few hours.
Thanks

She's SUPER CUTE!!! You're so brave!! Most guys I know won't dress their dogs up. My bf gets embarrassed.
Some really good toys for Hailey would be puppy kong and Kong brand toys. They are durable and it helps them when they start teething. Also, nylabone and kyjen is also good. Kyjen toys that we have are the bee and the squirrel, Emma LOVES it.
You should puppy pad train your baby because it's not safe for her to go out at such a young age. She is still living off her mom's immunity, which is not too strong. Wait until she completes all her shots and rabies before you take her out. If you want to take her out to places with other dogs, make sure you give her the bordetella vaccine.
I'd try not to give her human food because it will lead to begging in the future and the food is not good for them. However, there are some foods you can give, such as certain fruits and vegetables. Just don't overdue it. Science Diet is not a really good brand so consider switching to a premium brand.
Oh, Emma has been a picky eater since she was a baby. I suspect that it's a prominent trait with female yorkies. My baby is currently eating nutro and she's been fine with it. I switched from Orijen, Wellness, and Flint River.
Lastly, take her to dog parks after she is done with her vaccines so she can socialize with other dogs. It will take awhile for her to socialize, but definitely start at a young age.
Congrats on your new puppy and hope she's adjusting well!
