Another thing that we have found very useful is a puppy playpen or exercise pen. It is collapsible panels with a gate. Ours is eight 24 inch panels and comes in different heights. It can be used inside or out. It is wonderful to give your puppy a place to play and not have to watch them every minute!
VACCINATIONS & DEWORMING
Our puppies are vaccinated against parvo and kennel cough at 4 weeks and receive a 5-way vaccine at 6 to 7 weeks. They are dewormed at approximately 2, 4, and between 6 and 7 weeks.
REGISTRATION
All of our purebred puppies are registered with APRI...America's Pet Registry. They are very people friendly and require all dogs transferred into their registry to have AKC backgrounds. If you would like more information on APRI, go to www.aprpets.org
NU-VET VITAMINS
The Nu-Vet vitamins in our experience are a top of the line product. We don't believe that any other vitamin product compares in quality and effectiveness. It is an antioxidant formula that keeps your dog's immune system in a healthy state in order to fight off illness, allergies, cancer, etc.
This company is located in California and the vitamins need to be ordered via their 800 phone number (1-800-474-7044).
