no climbing or jumping, get loads of chew toys I prefer nylabone and kong, but no tennis ball type toys they wear the teeth.
for training treats use pieces of cooked chicken or turkey
Start cleaning their teeth immediately with a good product like healthy mouth, Leba III or Petzlife
trim eyes toes and bum regularly so they get used to it, I used and still use rounded baby scissors and baby toe nail clippers to begin
get the dog for a full check up to the vet
Research and decide the means in which you will be feeding your dog, raw, home cooked or kibble (stay away from corn, wheat, soy, rice, beet pulp, meat meal)
you may wish to invest or borrow from a friend, an expen it's a 4x4 pen which will keep them safe and secure when you are not home
make sure your new baby is eating drinking and sleeping enough, have nutrical or honey handy for hypoglycemia (I have heard that Yorkies and honey don't mix, but couldn't find any documentation and Dr Jean Dodds has said it's safe)
Lots of love hugs kisses and welcome to the best decision your husband ever made for you |
