Important Tips to Keeping Your Puppy Healthy

This is an X-ray of a 2 week old puppy.

Look at how far the bones have to grow before

they become a proper bony joint!

This is why you should never let 

puppies jump,

walk up/down stairs, over exercise or over train.

Doing to much impact activity at a young age will

cause serious issues later in life.

              Remember the puppy rule    

               for every month of age

increase activity by 5 mrinutes!

For example an 8 week old puppy

only needs 10 minutes physical activity a day -

a 6 month old only needs 30

minutes a day of physical activity!!

*physical activity includes - going for a walk, training, playing

fetch, running,playing with other dogs etc.

Enjoy your new puppy but remember

you wouldn't make a 6 month old baby run a mile a day

so don't make your puppy either!
