Planning for your Pup
When bringing a Double Doodle puppy home at 8-10 weeks old, it’s important to provide immediate care to ensure a healthy and smooth transition.
- Create a safe, puppy-proofed space where your puppy can rest and feel secure, such as a crate or small gated area.
- Establish a consistent feeding schedule using high-quality puppy food recommended by your veterinarian.
- Ensure fresh water is always available for your puppy throughout the day.
- Begin house training immediately with frequent potty breaks, especially after eating, sleeping, or playing.
- Provide plenty of love and gentle socialization to help your puppy build trust and confidence.
- Schedule a vet visit within the first few days to check overall health, review vaccinations, and discuss a deworming and flea prevention plan.
- Be patient and calm, as your puppy may feel nervous in a new environment.
- Avoid overwhelming them with too much activity early on.
- Establish routine, affection, and proper care from the start to help your Double Doodle grow into a happy, well-adjusted companion.
