Before taking the puppy home, you need to check the environment at home carefully. The puppy is like a baby. It wants to explore every corner of your home and likes to bite everything into its mouth. Therefore, if the puppy licks the uncollected toilet cleaner, it may cause danger.
The wires in the puppy's living area must be unplugged, removed or covered with tape. If the puppy bites the wire, it may cause serious mouth burns. In addition, the unused sockets can be covered with adhesive tape.
Keep your puppy away from the following items: buttons, threads, sewing needles, pins and other sharp objects. If the puppy swallows these items, it may cause oral injury and even damage internal organs.
Don't tie a ribbon around the puppy's neck, because the puppy may want to chew the ribbon around his neck and cause digestive system diseases. And if the ribbon around the neck is hooked by something, it may even cause the puppy to suffocate.
Plants are toxic to dogs and harmful to the health of pets.

Plants that may cause trouble to puppies
If your puppy has a tendency to bite grass, don't be too nervous. However, if it wants to bite the plants below, you have to stop it, otherwise it may cause many problems. These plants will make your puppy sick and even die. Remember: this list does not contain all the dangerous plants. In order to understand these and other dangerous plants, you must consult a professional veterinarian further.
Daily necessities to be purchased
Before taking the puppy home, please buy the following daily necessities for it. If you prepare for the arrival of new friends in advance, you and the puppy can spend more time getting to know each other.
A bowl for food and water.
Please choose a bowl that won't tip over. Moreover, because you have to wash the dishes for the dog every day, it is best that his bowl is easy to clean. And food and water should be separated in different bowls. At first, you can buy a smaller bowl; Then as the puppy grows up, slowly buy a bigger bowl. This will prevent your puppy from getting stuck in food or soaking in water every time he eats.
Matters needing attention in raising puppies
Correct use of dog leash
Raising a puppy is yes and no!
A collection of dog beauty knowledge
neck strap
When you choose a light collar for your puppy, you have many choices: some have buttons and some have springs. No matter what style collar you choose for your puppy, remember to put a puppy rolling sign on its collar, indicating the puppy's name, your address and phone number.
The puppy's first collar should be made of lightweight nylon or leather. If you want to estimate the size of the collar, you can measure the neck circumference of the puppy and add two inches (about 5 cm). A properly sized collar allows you to put two fingers between the collar and the dog's neck. If your fingers feel just right, then the collar you choose is the right size. If there is extra space, you may want to choose a smaller collar for the puppy. And if your fingers don't fit in, the collar may be too small. Because it takes a while for the puppy to get used to the collar, don't worry too much if the puppy looks uncomfortable or reaches for the collar.
dog chain
There are various styles of dog chains: leather, retractable nylon; The length is also different. Whether you want to train a puppy or walk with it, six feet (about 180 cm) is an ideal size.
Unless your puppy is in a closed area, please remember to leash it at any time. In the United States, many states and cities have mandatory laws. Even if your puppy is in a park or amusement park, as long as you take the puppy out, you must take it anytime and anywhere. Although we don't have such laws and regulations here, please do so for the safety of puppies. If your puppy goes to the toilet in public places (such as parks and neighbors' lawns), remember to help him clean up and keep the environment clean.
Carding appliance
You must prepare suitable grooming equipment for the puppy. There are many kinds of grooming tools, and it depends on which type of puppy determines the appropriate tool. If your puppy is a short-haired dog, you can use a natural bristle brush, a rubber horse comb, or gloves. If your puppy has long hair, you may need a durable wide-toothed iron brush or tool to comb the mat. Remember to prepare a flea-killing comb for the puppy and start combing the puppy once a week as soon as possible.
toy
All puppies need toys; Because toys can help puppies exercise on the one hand, and satisfy their desire to bite on the other. When you choose toys for your puppy, remember to choose toys specially designed for the puppy, and these toys can't be broken, torn or swallowed by the puppy. Leather products, nylon chews or hard rubber balls are all very interesting and safe toys. Generally speaking, if a toy can be easily put into a puppy's mouth, it is too small for the puppy.
The toy you choose for your puppy should not contain the following items:
Sponge toys with hard points, such as these toys, may decompose and be dangerous if swallowed by dogs.
Your shoes or other personal clothes: letting your puppy use these things as toys will make the puppy think that you allow him to bite your shoes or tear a hole in your clothes.
Silk, gauze balls, cellophane, tangled knots, plastic bags or other daily necessities: these items may get stuck in the throat of the puppy, causing the puppy's throat to be blocked or even suffocated.
Children's toys made of soft rubber, fur, wood, sponge or plastic: If a puppy swallows part of these items, it may cause digestive problems.
Pet diet This dog is a bit strange.
Take care of the dog to sleep
Correct the dog from eating indiscriminately.
Puppy food
In order to make your puppy get good nutrition at the beginning, please choose a balanced puppy food at the beginning.
Where the puppy sleeps.
Your puppy needs a warm and comfortable place to sleep. When not at home, the kennel can let the puppy rest in it. There are usually two forms of kennels: portable, closed plastic kennels with handles; Or, made of metal. The kennel you prepare for your puppy should be large enough for it to stand, turn around and lie down, and well ventilated. If you buy a dog kennel, you can buy a partition and put it in the kennel, or put a carton in the kennel to provide a comfortable space for the dog. If you plan to sleep with the puppy, you can prepare another bed for the puppy, so that the puppy can sleep when you are not at home. We suggest that you buy a puppy-sized (not adult-sized) bed for your puppy, so that your puppy will feel safer, more comfortable and just right when sleeping.
Detergents and deodorants
Cats and dogs should also be washed untidy to get rid of odors.
Special cleaners and deodorants can remove the odor of puppies after excretion. Instead of using cleaners and deodorants bought in traditional pet shops, they cover up the smell with a smell similar to that of humans, rather than a smell similar to that of dogs.
Therefore, if you use traditional cleaners and deodorants to deodorize after your puppy excretes, your puppy will usually excrete in the same place all the time; This is normal. Because it's just marking its sphere of influence.
Check the information about taking care of the puppy at any time.
Print out the information provided and put it on the shelf in your bedroom, near the kennel or in the kitchen; Because, you never know when you will need an answer to solve your doubts.

Problems to consider when buying a dog.
How to identify a biting dog when buying a dog?
In order to reduce the occurrence of unpleasant events, we summarized eight points that should be paid attention to when buying puppies for friends' reference. Generally speaking, as long as you choose according to this method, the bought puppy will not bring you trouble.

(2) The nose is moist and cool. No dryness, no fever, no runny nose. It is especially important to observe the state of the nose. )

The above points are just choices from the perspective of health. As for the identification of species, please refer to the pet column and related content.
In particular, I want to tell my friends that under normal circumstances, puppies are weaned for 40 to 50 days, and it takes some experience to feed puppies before weaning, so I suggest you try not to buy puppies. People often sell puppies about 30 days old as small dogs. (3~4 months old is the age when puppies enter training)
Prevention is better than cure, and puppies can be immunized for 50 days. Immunization should be carried out as soon as possible after physical examination to ensure the health of puppies. People often say that the reason why puppies turn over their intestines is that they can't get antibodies from breast milk after weaning. Because they don't have timely immunity, their immunity declines, which leads to intestinal diseases.
Getting up at 6: 00 and taking the dog downstairs for morning exercise can solve his personal problems on the one hand, and keep you full of energy all day on the other hand.
Go out to work at 8 o'clock. Don't forget to prepare enough water and toys for the dog when you leave, and say goodbye to it.
9: 00- 17: 00 working hours, think about what it is doing when you are free.
/kloc-go home on time at 0/8: 00 and have dinner with my dog * * * (you eat yours, he eats his).
Keeping your distance from your soul mate can also hurt.
19: 00 Go out for a walk with the dog for at least an hour.
From 20: 00 to 23: 00, whether you watch TV or play computer, don't forget his existence. He will be happy to spend some time playing games with him.
End the day's activities at 23: 00 and fall asleep.
In addition, try to take your dog to outdoor activities on weekends and holidays. It's a good suggestion to take your dog and friends for an outing. No matter how busy you are at work, you should spend as much time with him as possible. Since you choose to have a dog, you should be responsible for him and don't let him become a depressed puppy.
