Puppies experience rapid growth and require 2-3 times more calories per pound of body weight than adult dogs. It is crucial to provide ample food and adjust the amount as the puppy grows. However, since puppies have small stomachs and are prone to low blood sugar, feed them small, frequent meals, ideally three times a day or more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhen the Puppy Is Unwell<\/h3>\n
New puppies often face health issues after adjusting to their new environment. Common problems include gastrointestinal infections and respiratory infections, which can cause diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, coughing, sneezing, tears, and nasal discharge.<\/p>\n
If your puppy hasn’t eaten for more than half a day or if vomiting and diarrhea persist, it could lead to hypoglycemia and dehydration, which can be severe. In cases where the puppy appears lethargic, trembling, or having seizures, there may be a risk of hypoglycemia. Apply a small amount of syrup to the gums and contact the clinic immediately.<\/p>\n
Since puppies can quickly become seriously ill from vomiting or diarrhea, seek veterinary care promptly if symptoms arise.<\/p>\n
Health Check<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nWe recommend bringing your new puppy to the clinic about a week after arrival, once they have adjusted to their new environment. We will conduct a physical examination and fecal analysis, and provide advice on appropriate diet, future vaccinations, and spaying\/neutering schedules.<\/p>\n
Please bring vaccination certificates and any documents detailing the puppy’s date of birth and vaccination history. For the visit, ensure the puppy is transported in a crate or on a collar and leash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPreventive Care<\/h3>\n
Several diseases can be prevented with vaccinations and preventive medications. Some of these diseases are highly infectious and can be severe, potentially leading to death. It’s essential to start preventive care from the puppy stage.<\/p>\n
Combination Vaccinations<\/h4>\n
The first combination vaccine should be administered between 6 to 8 weeks of age. Subsequent booster shots are given every 2-4 weeks until the puppy is over 16 weeks old. After the final dose, a booster shot is required annually.<\/p>\n
Combination Vaccinations<\/a><\/div>\nRabies Vaccination<\/h4>\n
Rabies vaccination is usually given around 16 weeks of age. Consult with us to determine the best timing. Annual boosters are required starting from the following year, to be administered between April 1 and June 30. After vaccination, take the certificate to your local municipal office to obtain the “Vaccination Completion Certificate” (\u6ce8\u5c04\u6e08\u7968). This certificate should be attached to your dog’s collar along with the identification tag.<\/p>\n
Rabies Vaccination<\/a><\/div>\nHeartworm Prevention<\/h4>\n
Heartworm prevention is necessary from April onwards, similar to adult dogs. We have medications available starting from 6 weeks of age, so please consult us.<\/p>\n
Heartworm Prevention<\/a><\/div>\nFlea and Tick Prevention<\/h4>\n
Digestive tract parasite infections are common in puppies. Be sure to have fecal exams and deworming done upon acquiring a new puppy.<\/p>\n
Flea and Tick Prevention<\/a><\/div>\nSocialization & Puppy Classes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nThe socialization period from 3 to 16 weeks of age is crucial for puppies to absorb various environmental stimuli and develop social skills. Positive experiences with people, animals, and different smells during this time help them adapt better to human society and prevent behavioral problems such as biting or destructive behavior.<\/p>\n
We offer puppy classes for puppies aged 3 to 16 weeks. Please take advantage of these classes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
