I just got my first puppy about 3 days ago and everything is going well.
I have a few questions just to make sure my dog is getting the best care and is ready for everything.
1. He is 5 weeks old going into 6, when should i go get him vaccinated at the vet? Can you name all the vaccinations he will need to get? and an Estimate on the price?
2. When should i put a collar on him and start walking him outside?
3. I'm currently feeding him pedigree for puppy's about 3 - 4 times a day, regular size amounts and then he drinks water. Is that good?
4. I occasionally feed him cold cuts just a little bit, such as turkey, ham, or salami. He loves it! Is that alright?
5. What are some real good treats that i can get for when i start my training?
6. My puppy surprisingly has never pooped or peed on me, even when i have him sleeping on top of me for 2 hours he just doesn't do it. Do all dogs know not to poop/pee on their owner or is it something hes mother probably taught him?
7. What are some must have items for my puppy so he is happy and enjoying himself?
8. If i forgot anything else that should be common knowledge for a pit owner please tell me about it on this question
.
