Where do puppies live in the home?
Puppies are whelped in our bedroom beside our bed. I do not leave them until every puppy has been delivered safely. They are whelped in an 80 degree room with a heat pad to keep their body temperature up. They stay in my room until they are five weeks old. Then they are moved to a playroom where they can have more room to run and play, with a nice warm, comfy place for them to sleep, with a dog bed, blanket, and toys to chew. They also have access to other parts of the house to acclimate them to normal household noises and have social interaction with our family, friends and other dogs, under supervision. They stay here until they go home with their new families.
What type of veterinary care do the puppies receive?
Puppies are given wormers at 2, 4, 6 & 8 weeks. They receive their first vaccinations at six weeks and a vet check at Osceola Veterinarian Clinic between seven and eight weeks of age, right before going to new homes.
