Can I Visit the Puppies or Parents?
It is challenging for the mama after birth to allow strangers to visit as she cares for her new family members. Puppies are most susceptible to parvo between six weeks and six months. To guarantee the well-being and security of the puppy., it is crucial to restrict visitors from coming into contact with puppies until they have received complete immunization.
Remember that you are among many people getting a young puppy.
Our home is a beautiful place for moms to receive excellent care, training, and puppy socialization. We are very busy with our family, especially when the puppies are here. Safety and routine for our puppies are essential for raising healthy, well-balanced dogs for your family. Please be considerate of the security of our dogs and puppies.
Allowing customers to hang out with the brand-new puppies would interfere with the Mother’s routine. Her caring for young puppies and her capability to produce sufficient milk for puppies can be affected, as the Mother is very protective of the young family.
Infections as well as Diseases
Any newborn puppies can quickly pick up a contagious illness, which would not be healthy if we allowed entry into our home. Most diseases, as well as allowing people to wear shoes and clothes, could bring in viruses. The entire litter of newborns could die from the highly contagious virus, especially parvovirus, which can kill a puppy immediately. Parvovirus is an unpleasant illness with a high mortality rate if caught. We will never risk subjecting our dogs and young puppies to diseases that can kill our animals.
Young Puppies are very Fragile.
Your young puppy is not the only puppy in our care. Think of just how you might feel if a customer who intends to see their puppy gets into the nursery and brings in viruses that could be detrimental to their health and can cause the whole litter to die. Your puppy could also die.
Even if we allow a customer to visit the pup, it does not suggest the pup’s wellness or the service you will undoubtedly obtain throughout the puppy’s lifetime is optimum. It is best to research a breeder’s reviews; we understand your excitement and will always guide you and your new Labradoodle Puppy.
Pup’s immune systems are very fragile. Many unsuspecting visitors have brought diseases (parvovirus, distemper, etc.) with them when visiting pups, resulting in the death of an entire litter. Several breeders have lost whole litters to parvovirus brought in by visitors.
A new mother is in protective mode over her puppies. When a stranger visits, Mom becomes stressed, causing her body to create cortisol. Cortisol enters the milk and causes puppies to drink it and become stressed.
How can we keep all puppies safe?
When moms are frightened, they can hurt the puppies. When a stranger visits, Mom’s emotion changes quickly to protection mode. She feels threatened and moves fast to assess if there is a threat. Many times, moms have crushed a puppy because a strange visitor entered our home’s whelping room and frightened them.
After puppies are adopted, my main duty is to guarantee their safety. As a dog caretaker, I understand that if I care for your furry friend, you expect me to fulfill certain obligations.
We only allow visitors once puppies have been vet-checked and immunized at eight weeks.
Permitting we don’t have any unvaccinated puppies on the premises at the time of the request and if COVID-19 is on the rise, not to mention other Viruses that would be detrimental to the health of our Moms and Precious puppies.
While waiting for your puppy, you can do a few things.
I have created a puppy list for you to shop and prepare for your fur baby’s arrival while you wait for your puppy. Preparing to meet your Labradoodle Puppy will be exciting, and it will take willpower to keep yourself from purchasing many items in the Pet store!
Food Bowls
You will need a bowl for clean water and one for puppies’ food. The bowls can be constructed of stainless steel or ceramic and must be large enough to support the required kibble as your puppy matures.
Leather Lead and Collar
These items are a must as they will help you train your puppy when outdoors walking. We suggest purchasing a Harness, which will help stop your dog from pulling you as you walk and is very comfortable. Harnesses make training much more manageable and prevent dogs from pulling!
Grooming Equipment
Remember, it’s important to introduce grooming activities gradually and make it a positive experience for your puppy. To make grooming a positive experience, begin with brief sessions and provide rewards such as treats or praise. It will help your pet associate grooming with something enjoyable. If you’re unsure how to groom your breed, consult a professional groomer or ask your veterinarian for guidance. They can provide you with breed-specific recommendations and tips on how to groom your puppy properly.
Puppy Crate
Many brands on the market will accommodate your furry friend. I suggest a 42-inch crate to accommodate the Labradoodle puppy as he matures into adulthood.
Indoor Octagon Play Pen
All puppies love a secure place to play with the many durable toys. It is an area where the puppy can be left alone during your shopping spree and not worry about what he will get into that is dangerous and can hurt him. When buying the octagon gated pen, you must place a non-print newspaper in case the puppy needs to eliminate, water to ensure he is hydrated, and a towel to rest until you return to take him outside to play.
Royal Canin Puppy Food
The puppy will start on Royal Canin Medium Puppy Kibble when they eat.
Dog Toys
There are many stimulating products on the market these days. We suggest toys that will help the puppy keep busy. Are you looking for a toy to keep your puppy entertained for hours? Consider getting a KONG Toy! Kong Toys can be stuffed with treats and are both safe and durable.
Newborn Puppies
Puppies are delicate and rely on their Mom to provide immunity for the first eight weeks of life. They are too small to receive immune boosters (vaccinations) from our vet until they are 7 to 8 weeks old. As long as they are completely vaccinated and healthy, puppies need three vaccines to enjoy the outdoors and socialize with other dogs.
Doggie Parks
We recommend not taking your puppy to a doggie park with young pups and waiting until they are one year old and current on vaccines. Young puppies not being vaccinated until 7-8 weeks of age are at high risk of getting very ill, which can lead to sudden death very quickly.
Stresses & Viruses
Many factors can cause an illness that can be stress-related, such as viruses that can come in contact with the shoes or clothing of visitors, overhandling the puppy, and even stress in their mothers. Our Dams love meeting new families, But it can be very stressful for them as they care for their young puppies, and exposing them can harm the puppy’s life. We will not take any chances with our precious dogs and their families.
Conclusion: Your puppy is not the only puppy. We will protect your puppy, including all of our puppies, from stress and disease brought on by high traffic. It takes work to keep a puppy happy and healthy. I cannot imagine a life without our Furry Friends.
