Welcome to YT and congratulations on your new baby girl. Mia is a beautiful name.
If you are bringing this baby home at 8 weeks old you need to have some Nutrical on hand as her blood sugar could drop and that can be very dangerous for such a young pup. I would recommend that she not be brought home at all until she is twelve weeks old. They learn so much in the time between eight and twelve weeks from their mother and siblings. A good breeder will not let a pup go home until they are twelve weeks old and smaller ones will stay with the breeder even longer. Is there a reason you are bringing her home so young? She will need to be watched constantly at such a young age.
She should have a vet visit a day or two after you bring her home. She will need two more sets of puppy shots and probably another visit for a rabies shot, depending on her size.
I like Bio Groom Fluffy Puppy shampoo, or Mink Sheen. Not sure how easy these would be to get in Canada. Maybe one of our Canadian members will chime in and help you out with whats available there. Do you have a good pin brush and comb? I like the Maddan Pin Brush and a Chris Christianson butter comb. They are expensive but well worth it. Start the day you bring her home with short sessions of brushing and combing so she gets used to it.
We are happy to have you here asking questions, there is so much to learn. This is a great place to learn and make friends. |
