Tucker's Story

🐢✨ Meet Athena & Her Adorable Puppy Crew! ✨🐢 We've recently welcomed one very special mama dog and her 8 gorgeous puppies into our shelter, and they are already stealing hearts! πŸ’˜ πŸ’ͺ Mama Athena is a stunning American Staffy, and judging by her lovely brood, Dad may have had a dash of Cattle Dog and perhaps even a sprinkle of Short-Haired Pointer. While it's all educated guesswork, one thing's for sure - this is a seriously handsome bunch of puppy hoodlums! 😍 🐾 About the Pups * πŸ• Adorable boxy faces * πŸ“ Expected to grow into medium-large adults * 🌟 Confident, curious, and outgoing * πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Likely to make fantastic family companions They're currently at that irresistible stage where they want to follow you everywhere πŸ₯Ή - the perfect time to start shaping great habits! πŸ‘‰ Reward the good stuff, and you'll get more of it! Praise, treats, toys, and playtime work wonders πŸŽΎπŸ¦΄πŸ’– πŸŽ“ Puppy School = Puppy Gold Star! Puppy School is an invaluable experience, helping your pup learn manners and confidence while strengthening your bond. Luckily, there are **lots of great options in the Bundy area β­πŸ• 🏑 Is a Puppy Right for You? Before welcoming a puppy into your home, it's important to consider the following: 🐢 Learning the Human World Puppies need gentle guidance as they discover new sights, sounds, and situations. Positive, gradual introductions help build confident and resilient dogs. 🦴 Chewing Is Normal! Puppies love to chew - it's how they explore! Make sure you have plenty of appropriate chew toys and manage their space to protect your belongings. Puppy pens and crates can be fantastic tools for safety and structure. 🚽 Toilet Training Takes Time Accidents will happen! Patience, consistency, and repetition are key. Always reward correct toileting and avoid punishment - learning takes time. ⚑ High Energy, Big Personalities Puppies are lively, inquisitive, and energetic. They need time, training, and supervision - especially around young children. Teaching kids that puppies aren't toys is essential for everyone's safety and happiness. ❀️ Love In = Love Out The more time, effort, consistency, and love you invest now, the less likely behavior issues will pop up later. Researching breeds and understanding their needs helps ensure the perfect lifelong match.

What should I feed my puppy?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my puppy?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
