New Puppy Crying at Night? Use a Ticking Clock

Posted in Uncategorized tagged , , , , at 11:57 pm by Supplement Review Online

When getting a new puppy, the easiest thing to do to make your new puppy feel at home is to put a ticking clock beside it in it’s bed.  You might think this is an absurd thing to say but I guarantee that it will help the puppy sleep easier during the first few nights in its new home. 

When the puppy was with it’s mother, it cuddled close to her and had the comfort of her rythmic heartbeat to provide comfort to it.  The clock is an easy means to simulate the natural heart beat of the mother. This will sooth your puppy and ease the puppies crying during the night.  I have done this with all my puppies that I have had over my life and I swear that it makes caring for the newborn puppy that much easier.

Don’t Hesitate, Vaccinate your Puppy

It is just as important for you to have your dog vaccinated as it is to have your child vaccinated. Vaccines are designed to minimize the risks of your puppy contracting an illness that can kill him or her. Or even pose a threat to your family members.  

Puppies and newborn children are very similar in some ways. They both get their immunity from the mothers milk. However, they both require additional help to make sure they are continuously protected from germs and diseases. For a puppy, he or she should have its first shots by the time it is 8 weeks old. A booster shot or second shot should be given around 4 weeks after the puppy receives its first set of shots.

The rabies vaccine is an extremely vital shot for your dog to have. Rabies is a disease that will kill your dog if he or she contracts it. Typically, a dog contracts rabies from the saliva of another animal that has rabies. Typically this can be done from a fight with a fox, chasing a squirrel or a raccoon to name just a mere few animals that can give your dog rabies.

Your puppy can have a rabies vaccine as early as 16 weeks old. However, another follow up booster shot needs to be given a year after the original shot. This is the best way to protect yourself, your family and your dog from contracting this fatal disease.
