Puppy Care

Practical guidance for feeding, grooming, health, home preparation and confident early routines.

FEEDING

Consistent Nutrition

Keep meals predictable and transition foods gradually. Fresh water should always be available.

GROOMING

Coat & Nail Care

Regular brushing, nail trims and gentle handling help your Labrador feel comfortable with routine care.

HEALTH

Veterinary Planning

Schedule vet visits, vaccinations and parasite prevention with your local veterinarian.

HOME

Prepare the Space

Use a crate, washable bedding, safe toys, food bowls and puppy-safe boundaries before homecoming.

EXERCISE

Age-Appropriate Play

Short positive play sessions are better for young puppies than strenuous forced exercise.

SUPPLIES

Helpful Basics

Prepare food, treats, grooming tools, collar, leash, ID tag, cleaner and safe chew toys.
