New Puppy Owner Helpful Info

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

This is another section I am putting a lot of thought into and is currently under construction. There are so many questions about what a puppy needs to get started in their new home: what to feed, treats, nutrition, supplements, toxic/poisonous plants, and ear set/tail cropping, etc. I am gathering details from multiple sources and will combine those with my own experiences and opinions. I have attached some information below, but in the meantime, please be patient or simply ask specific questions.

Puppy Checklists

I have a lot of new owners asking what they should purchase or do in preparation of their new fur baby's arrival. I decided, why reinvent the wheel where there are so many amazing resources available. I borrowed both lists below that I feel are a great representation of what every new puppy owner should know.

Human Foods - Good and Bad

We are all guilty of wanting to spoil our fur babies at every level, including treats and/or sharing our human food. There are many choices that are a great addition to their overall nutrition and diet, but keep in mind everything should be fed in moderation. Please research what is and what is not a good choice and make sure they have a well-balanced die since wrong choice will land you at the emergency vet. Schnauzers have sensitive stomachs so this is not an iron-clad list. Stick to the lighter ones until you know what their tummies can handle.
