The First Five Days Of Owning A Puppy
26.06.18 June 26, 2018 Getting A Puppy Featured

The First Five Days Of Owning A Puppy

Adopting a puppy in to the family is an exciting time; a new bundle of joy who will become a loyal companion for years to come. As well as the excitement, new puppy owners also tend to feel a great sense of responsibility. Ensuring you make the best decisions for your little one can be stressful. Some of the most common questions we are asked are related to new puppies; what should you buy them? Should you crate train them? What should you feed them? How best to settle them? There are a number of things to consider when first bringing your puppy home and the first thing to do is relax – with the right preparation there is no reason why you can’t enjoy the whole process. So here’s what to do in the first five days of owning a puppy:   Puppy Proof Your Home! This should ideally be done before your new four-legged friend arrives home. Puppies usually arrive at their forever home between 9-12 weeks old when they still have everything to learn. Your pup will probably be eager to explore and highly likely to chew! So, anything that may hurt them (or anything you’d prefer them not to destroy!) should be removed from their living space. We suggest not allowing them into every room at first, rather choose a room for them, and secure the space with a dog gate or similar. This way there will be less opportunities for them to wreak havoc. Think about keeping your pup’s area free from valuable furniture, electricals, cleaning supplies, washing, shoes and kid’s toys. You could try a pet repellent spray on furniture that can’t be removed, to help deter them from chewing.   Prepare Your Puppy Essentials This may sound obvious, but making sure you have everything your puppy will need is imperative. Ideally, you’ll have had time to prepare in advance so when the little one arrives he can move straight in and you won’t be worrying about where anything is or if you have everything. We’d suggest crate training from the beginning which will help with manners and provide a safe space when he can’t be supervised. A series of chew toys and puzzle toys will ensure your puppy is entertained and develops mentally. Puppy pads will be essential until your pup is fully potty trained. Food and water bowls A bed! If you’re unsure of what to get specifically then give us a call. We’d be happy to help! Or you could take a look at our Welcome to the World Puppy Packs which come in four sizes for various sized breeds and contain all the everyday puppy essentials.   Establish Ground Rules From Day One Ensure you and the rest of the human household know what the dog will and will not be allowed to do. Will he be allowed on furniture? Where will he sleep? Which rooms is he allowed? Who will feed, train, walk him etc? If everyone is on the same page from the beginning, training and settling your new pup will be much easier and stress free. Also, decide on the same command words to use so you don’t confuse your new dog (you don’t want one person saying “down” and another saying “get off” for instance).   Create A Schedule Getting the new arrival into a steady routine will help them settle much more easily. Deciding when your puppy will eat, sleep and toilet from the beginning will help them feel secure. Your puppy will soon adapt to their new schedule and will know what to expect from their day. With time their body clocks will be accustomed to doing certain things at certain times which is convenient for everyone. Try to keep the first few days as relaxed as possible and introduce new things slowly. Try not to introduce too many new people in the first week and perhaps keep your new pup within their new home for the first week or so to. There will be plenty of time to explore the great outdoors and introduce them to your friends once they’re settled   Introduce Your New Puppy Slowly It’s best to pick your pup up in the morning if possible. Then slowly but surely introduce them to the crate throughout the day. Put their blanket in there so it feels and smells of home. Try putting tasty treats inside and when they go in give praise. Don’t force them inside and don’t close the door behind. Once they are happily going in and out and seem totally comfortable, you can close the door behind them.   Teach Your Pup Their Name Keep saying your pups name and giving a treat when they respond to help them remember!   Don’t Panic!! If it’s your first time owning a new puppy, just remember you’re not the only one! There is loads of information and advice online, so do a bit of research and you’ll be just fine. Quite often, common sense will tell you what to do and if you’re still unsure ask someone for advice. In a few weeks you’ll wonder what it was you were anxious about in the first place and you’ll be enjoying time spent with your new four-legged family member!

Top 5 Camping Products For Dogs

Top 5 Camping Products For Dogs

Are you the adventurous kind of doggy parent; the outdoorsy kind whose ideal retreat is a camping trip in the woods? Do you sometimes find it hard to know what to take to make your pup’s trip as comfortable as possible? At Lords & Labradors we have a whole variety of products especially chosen to make travelling as easy and stress-free as possible. So take a look at our top five products for camping with your dog; a list of items that we think will make your next night under the stars a pleasure for you and your canine family members!   What to Take on a Camping Trip With Dog A Pet Travel Crate Travelling in the car is an important consideration for even the smallest journey. There are a couple of options here depending on the breed and size of your dog. The Ellie Bo car crates are available in Standard and Deluxe, in 2 sizes. They will fit in most car boots and are suitable for breeds up to the size of a cocker spaniel and similar. If you have a larger breed and a large vehicle (a Discovery for example) then a standard Ellie-Bo crate may be a better choice (if you can fit it in with all your other camping equipment!). If you’d prefer something less cage-like, then the waterproof pet crate or Bracco Carriers may be more suitable. They pop down flat when not in use and can used once you get to your destination as a bed as well as travelling in the car.   Beco Travel Bowls The Travel Bowls by Beco are a must for any dog owner. Made from a natural rubber and available in 3 sizes and 3 colours they pop down flat when not in use and are ideal for food and water on the go.   Boot Mat A Waterproof Mat is a great multi-purpose item to take on your travels. It can be used in your car boot, in your dog’s crate or just in your tent when relaxing in the evenings. Its waterproof properties make it super practical; ideal when your dog has just been for a swimthe evening. We also have a luxury tweed version from Tweedmill – perfect for countryside adventures!   Everything by Ruffwear! An accessory or two by Ruffwear is a must for any adventuring dog. Ruffwear make a host of premium accessories designed especially for outdoorsy canines. The collection includes Hoopie Collars and Front Range leads in an array of colours; the Float Coat for camping trips by the river; and the Beacon Dog Safety Light, so whatever kind of camping trip you’re going on, you can be sure your dog stays safe at all times.      Ruff & Tumble Dog Drying Coat An everyday essential, but particularly great for travel; the ultimate drying coats for dogs from Ruff & Tumble are a practical choice for all happy campers. We all know the weather can’t always be trusted; if you get caught in a shower, pop a drying coat on your dog once you’re back at the tent to keep him dry and warm. Whatever kind of camping trip you enjoy; be it coastal, rural, by the river etc, we think all these items will come in handy. If you decide to try out any of the products listed, let us know how you get on with them. Of course this is just our top five dog products for camping; if your favourite accessory for camping trips with your dog isn’t listed, then let us know. We love to discover what items you use and why you love them. If you have any questions or comments about this or any of our blog posts, do let us know. E-mail us at hello@lordsandlabradors.co.uk, find us on LiveChat or message us on our Social Media. We endeavour to help as much as we can.   Send us your pictures!

Sunscreen For Dogs

Sunscreen For Dogs

Whether it’s a day at the beach or just a quick stroll into town, we are all aware of the dangers of sun exposure, but what about the risks to our pets? They like humans are just as likely to burn in the sun so it’s important to be aware and take the necessary precautions when out and about in the summer. We all know to make sure our pets have plenty of ventilation and hydration in the Summer but it’s just as important to protect their skin with a lotion. Dogs are just as likely as humans to suffer from sunburn. A sunburned dog can suffer from red skin and inflammation which will irritate and become painful. In worst cases sunburn in dogs can even lead to hair loss, so be prepared and avoid any unnecessary damage.   Can I use Sunscreen on my Dog?  Just like humans, sunburn in dogs can lead to certain types of skin cancer, so the simple answer is, yes! If you’re going to be leaving the house with your dog during summer and there’s a good chance of sun exposure then yes, apply sunscreen. Take particular care to cover the sensitive areas such as the nose, lips, ears and belly. This is especially important if you have a short-haired breed with white hair, as they are more susceptible to sunburn than dogs with thicker, darker coats.   What kind of sunscreen can I use on my dog? There are sunscreens available that are designed specifically for canine use. However, if you don’t have access to one then a sunscreen designed for babies and children with a high SPF can be used as an alternative. Do be wary in this instance though as there are certain ingredients in creams that are toxic to dogs. Choose a fragrance-free, baby sunscreen that doesn’t contain zinc oxide, as dogs lick their skin and may accidentally ingest the cream. Always make sure the cream you are using DOES NOT contain Zinc Oxide or Para-aminobenzoic (PABA) as these are toxic to dogs. If you are unsure, it is always best to ask a veterinarian before applying any creams to your dog.   How Do I Best Apply SunCream To My Dog? The main areas to be careful when applying creams are the eyes and face. Just be cautious not to get any product near the eye area and once applied make sure the cream has had time to soak into the skin before you allow your pup to lick; monitor them until the cream has dried.   What Else Cat I Do To Protect my Dog in the Summer? We all like to be outside in the summer and it is the same for our dogs. It’s really important to provide them with access to shelter from the Sun’s rays and plenty of fresh water. Pets, like humans, are susceptible to heat stroke, so making sure they stay as cool as possible and hydrated will ensure they remain comfortable and healthy in the hotter months. As well as applying sun cream, you could try one or two of our warm weather accessories. The Swamp Cooler Cooling Vest and Cooling Mat are both designed specifically for hot weather. There is also the option of a  L&L Drying Coat which, when not being used to dry your dog down, can be soaked in cold water to help cool down your pet in hot weather. So make the most of the Summer months; apply sunscreen, ensure your pup drinks plenty of water and enjoy your day trips and holidays in health. We’d love to hear what sunscreens and lotions you use on your four-legged friends. Send us a message to our e-mail or on social media. If you send us a picture along with your comment we might just feature you on Facebook or Instagram! Equally, if you have any questions; about something covered here or something more general, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We are always happy to help in any way we can.
