Dachshund Puppy Hints for your new doxie

PUPPY HINTS
MAKES SURE YOUR PUPPY GETS ITS SET OF SHOTS,
TILL THEY REACH 9/12 WEEKS (OR ACCORDING TO YOUR VET)
DACHSHUNDS MAY NOT NEED A FOURTH SET OF SHOTS
WHICH INCLUDES LEPTOS (1 OUT OF 5 HAVE ALLERGIC REACTIONS)

MAKE SURE THAT YOU PURCHASE GOOD QUALITY PUPPY/ADULT FOOD
(A DOG FOOD OF 21% - 26% PROTEIN TO 12% - 16% FAT IS A GOOD RATIO)

WE RECOMMEND
ULTRA NUTRO ADULT (no PUPPY FOOD)

AT THE AGE OF 3 MOS DEPENDING ON WHAT YOUR VET STATES,
GIVE THEM A RABIES SHOT AND START ON
HEART WORM PREVENTATIVE AND FLEA PREVENTATIVE

We DON'T RECOMMEND the use of COMFORTIS/TRIFECIS (recall 500
dachshunds/canines got very sick even thou the vets still sell it) for fleas on dachshunds
side effects include; throwing up,not eating,over eating,drinking more,
weight gain,lethargic,laziness,hyperactive and more

DO NOT GIVE DOXIES STORE MILK BONES TOO MUCH SUGAR
(IAMS IS BETTER NO SUGAR) NO GREENIES
THEY CAN HAVE FRUIT

USE a piece of NEW PVC fitting for chewing, will not break
will not sliver and can't choke on it. Must be at least 1 & 1/2 diameter
or 2 inches nothing smaller

IF YOU HAVE A MALE DACHSHUND PUPPY NEUTER HIM
BEFORE THE AGE OF 4/6 MOS
(SO HE DON'T LIFT HIS LEG AND MARK HIS SPOT)

MAKE SURE THE PUPPY IS KEPT WARM.
A BATH IS NOT NECESSARY EVERY WEEK
(ONLY WHEN REAL DIRTY/GIVING FLEA PREVENTATIVE)
if you do bathe them every week please use oatmeal shampoo REMEMBER
DACHSHUNDS FEEL THRU THEIR FEET/PADS

IF THE DACHSHUND PUPPY GETS THE RUNS MAKE HIM OR HER SOME
RICE WITH DRAINED HAMBURGER (HELPS STOPS IT)
IF ON ANTIBIOTICS GIVE THEM SOME PLAIN YOGURT

IF THE PUPPY EATS SOMETHING IT SHOULDN'T (POISONOUS)
YOU MAY WANT HIM TO GET SICK & SO YOU CAN HAVE TIME TO GET TO THE VET
(MIX 1/2 WATER & 1/2 HYDRO PEROXIDE & GIVE IT TO
THEM IMMEDIATELY@2 CC'S)

IF A DOXIE PUPPY SEEMS STRESSED GIVE IT PEDIALYTE/PROPEL INSTEAD OF WATER

ALWAYS KEEP NEOSPORINE ,CHILDREN'S LIQUID BENADRYL,
HYDRO PEROXIDE,AND A BOTTLE OF PEDIALYTE ON HAND
& A SYRINGE NO NEEDLE

LAST BUT NOT LEAST WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR DOXIE TO SOCIALIZE
EX;PUPPY PARK,DACHSHUND GATHERINGS ETC.
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR PUPPY HAS ALL IT'S SHOTS.
(BECAUSE YOUR BABY MAYBE PROTECTED BUT THE OTHERS PUPPIES MAY NOT BE)

NEW BORDETELLA (kennel cough)
IS ORAL GOOD FOR 1 YEAR NO BOOSTER NEEDED
DON'T USE THE NASAL BOOSTER
NO LEPTOS FOR DACHSHUNDS

*ALERT*
IT IS FLEAS SEASON AGAIN WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR PUPPY HOME,
WHEN YOU PUT THEM ON UNTREATED GRASS
TO GO POTTY THEY CARRY THE FLEAS BACK INTO THE HOUSE
THUS YOU MAY GET TAPE WORMS.
IT WILL NOT KILL THE PUPPY BUT WHO WANTS WORMS
(THEY LOOK LIKE GRAINS OF RICE)
THEY ALSO GET IT FROM EATING CAT STOOL FROM THE LITTER BOX
DON'T GET EXCITED IT IS CURED EASILY

GO TO THE VET AND GET TAPE WORM PILLS (DRONCIT/ praziquantel) TO TREAT THEM
ONE PILL THEN A SECOND PILL TWO WEEKS LATER
FISH TAPES from walmart have the same INGREDIENT as Droncit called PRAZIQUANTEL

YOU MAY USE CAT FLEA SPRAY RUB INTO HANDS AND
COAT THE FUR
TILL THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH AT THREE MONTHS OF AGE
TO GET ADVANTAGE OR SOME OTHER FLEA PREVENTATIVE

PLEASE NOTE
SIZES OF DACHSHUNDS ACCORDING TO
AKC ARE EITHER
MINIATURES OR STANDARDS
WE AS BREEDERS KNOW THAT THERE ARE INBETWEEN SIZES SUCH AS
TEA CUP,MICRO-MINI, TWEENIE.
A Dachshunds at 6 months
IS NORMALLY JUST ABOUT FULLY GROWN BY THEN
MAYBE A 1 LB OR 2 LBS MORE
It also depends on the food given,exercise etc
THANK YOU AND MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE A HAPPY
& HEALTHY DACHSHUND FOR YEARS TO COME.
