FEEDING

 

 

 

Your puppy has been reared on Gelert Country Choice, chicken and rice complete  puppy feed and will come with some of  this feed.    We recommend that you continue to feed this.

 

At 8 weeks your puppy is on 4 small meals per day, these can be reduced to three then two as the puppy gets older, as per feed manufacturers directions.   PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGE IN YOUR PUPPY’S DIET UNTIL PUPPY IS 4 MONTHS OLD

 

 

 

.  Please give your puppy boiled or bottled water for the first few days until he gets used to the change of water.  ALWAYS make sure your puppy has clean fresh water available.   Changing homes is a very traumatic event for a young puppy, so please try not to overexcite or overexert puppy for the first few days, and make sure puppy is kept warm and draught free

 

 

 

INSURANCE

 

Your puppy comes with 4 weeks insurance, the documents will be sent directly to you, we do recommend that you carry on with pet insurance for your new puppy

 

 

 

You will be given a small amount of homeopathic tablets to help boost your puppy’s immunity while inbetween vaccinations, give one on the evening of puppy’s first day, then  one morning and one evening for three days
