3. What type of brush do you use on puppy hair?

1. Yes, she can have a bath.
2. Take the breeder's shot records to the vet with you for the puppy wellness exam and the vet should give you the schedule for remaining shots. Rabies vacc should be held until 5 or 6 months of age, whatever is required in your county.
3. I used a flea comb only on Max for the first 6 months. A leg/mustache comb would work too.
4. Ask your breeder what kind of dishes Lily drinks and eats from. When I brought Max home, he did not drink water for the 6 hour car ride and then for hours at home. I was so worried! Then I finally figured out that he would not drink from the plastic travel bowl, but he happily drank from a tiny stainless steel measuring cup. He had an aversion to plastic.
