Puppy Care Instructions

  • Puppy eats 2x (times) a day.
 
  • Feed ½ - ¾ cup of food – with no water – just food.  Leave food down for 15-20 minutes and then pick it up.  The puppy will be done with its meal after this amount of time.
 
 
  • Water should be offered after the puppy eats. This is because if you give your puppy water with their food, they’ll fill up with water and not eat as much food.
 
  • We use Purina Pro Plan Puppy Formula Lamb & Rice.
 
  • Don’t make sudden or drastic food changes as it will upset your puppy’s tummy and digestive system.  If you want to change your puppy’s food, you should make the transition slowly.  Talke at least one week to make the transfer.  Mix a little of the new food that you want to switch to with the Purina Pro Plan Lamb and Rice.  (Call if you have any questions – 803.713.4748.)
 
  • Puppy should go outside after eating, drinking, sleeping or whenever they are crying.
 
  • We recommend crate training your puppy.  Don’t buy a huge crate! This invites your puppy to pick a spot to use the bathroom.  Instead start with a small suitable crate based on your puppy’s size and gradually go with a bigger crate as your puppy grows.
 
  • Your new puppy will need lots of attention and exercise to be happy and content.  Take your puppy out for walks, play games and let your puppy run free in open spaces that won’t endanger your puppy. Use your commonsense judgement.  Australian Cattle Dog puppies, in particular, are very high-energy and need to be able to run and play to exhaust their energy.  A tired puppy/dog is a happy dog. That means they’ve played themselves out and ready to nap.
 
  • As your puppy gets older, you should socialize with other dogs and people.  Before your puppy comes home with you, he or she will socialize with people and other puppies here at B & E Farms.
 
  • NO RAWHIDE | NO LATEX TOYS 
 
  • If at any time you feel you are unable to care for your puppy and/or give it the proper home it deserves, B & E Farms will take the puppy back at no charge to B & E Farms.
