If you are willing to bring a Germen shepherd pet to your home then this guide will help you to understand that how to take care a German shepherded puppy at your home.
When we bring a German Shepherd
puppy to our home, we first introduce it to the new environment of our home
properly and prepare a safe environment for it. Some important things related to
the care of German Shepherd puppy have been told below and if you follow them
properly then you can take very good care of this puppy dog and make it a
part of your family. In return this pet dog will keep helping you and your
family safe from unwanted threats and will also remain loyal to your family
forever.
Must do preparation for German shepherd puppy
When we are thinking of bringing a German Shepherd puppy to our home, first of all we should make some preparations in our home before his arrival so that when that puppy comes to our home, we are completely prepared. For this, first of all we should decide that part or area of our home where we will make a shelter for him or where he will stay. Many people keep their dogs outside their house by making a dog shelter home and this is also good but before doing this, we should arrange all the things for our German Shepherd puppy in the dog shelter home according to the weather outside which are necessary for his safety.
For example - its bed which is neither too hot nor too cold. Dog food for him to
eat. Some toy for him to play with. Dog leash to keep him safe in the house
during the initial days. Cleaning equipment to clean his urine and stool etc.
German shepherd puppy age
The second most important thing that we need to
keep in mind is that whenever we think of bringing a German Shepherd puppy
home, it is possible that you bring it from somewhere and adopt it. If the
puppy is born at home from a dog already owned by you, then you have nothing to
worry about but if you are bringing it home from outside, then it is very important to keep its age in mind. We should always bring a puppy that is 10 to 12 weeks old. If the puppy is younger than this, it is not possible to keep it with its mother because at this age it needs mother's milk and staying with its mother is very important for its physical and mental health. After 8 to10 weeks we can bring it to a new home and can give any balanced dog food. So we should always bring a German Shepherd puppy to our home when it is 10 to 12 weeks old.
German shepherd puppy pre-health checkup
The third most important thing that
we need to do before bringing a German Shepherd puppy home and taking care of
it is its health check-up at the pet clinic. Whenever we bring a German
Shepherd puppy home from somewhere else or it is born at our home from its
mother, it is very important to get its health check-up done in order to take
good care of it in the future.
Some diseases are very common in
dogs which need to be treated timely like tick problem, allergy problem and
worm problem.
So bring a German Shepherd puppy to
your home only after getting its health check-up done.
If we keep in mind the three most important things mentioned above and follow them, then now you are ready to bring a German Shepherd puppy to your home and take care of him.
Now when we have brought a German
Shepherd puppy to our home, first of all it is necessary to make him accustomed
to the environment of our house. For this we should spend more time with him in
the initial days and gradually start training him for other things. During
training he should be taught to follow our rules. Which can be for the
following things -
- Training the puppy to use the dog litter tray for peeing and stooling.
- Training the puppy for the commands of standup and sit down.
- Training the puppy to do some work and to stop it.
German shepherd food and water
German Shepherd needs proper diet
and hydration for their growth and health. So we should give them protein rich
food to take care of them. Today there are lots of dog foods available in the
market, you can use any of them as a good dog food. Apart from this you should
give clean water to keep German Shepherd hydrated. If you have RO or UV unit in
your house for cleaning water then we can give that water to the puppies.
German Shepherd puppies should
never be given milk because cow or cattle milk is not good for dogs and it
causes harm to them. If there is no option then you can use lactose free milk
to feed the puppies.
If you have any confusion regarding
food and diet for puppy then you can take advice from nearest vet clinic.
Hygiene practice for German shepherd puppy
It is very important to maintain
hygiene for German Shepherd. If the accessories used for puppies at our home
are not hygienic, then the risk of the puppy getting sick increases a lot and
it can also impact the people in our family, so it is very important to manage
hygiene when it comes to taking care of German Shepherd puppies
Health management for German shepherd puppy
It is also very important to take
care of the health of German Shepherd puppy, that is why we should get its
health check-up done from time to time and whatever vaccination is required
should be done so that the dogs do not get any disease and it does not get
transmitted from them to us.
For example, vaccination for
rabies. Because this disease can spread to humans through dogs very easily.
German shepherd puppy behavior control
German Shepherd puppy is naturally
a wild animal and by nature it is normal for it to attack and show aggression.
In such a situation it becomes a challenge for us to manage it. It is difficult
to understand when it will attack therefore whenever you take it out, always
keep it confined so that it can be controlled if required. Apart from this its
unusual behavior should be noted and techniques to control it should be
developed. Always keep in mind that the more you train it, the more it will
remain under your control and will follow your commands. Make it comfortable
with all the members of the family.
