New puppy in the house: now what?

Have you been looking forward to the homecoming of your new puppy for weeks (or who knows months or years)? Then the days probably can't move forward fast enough for you. But it is still of great importance to make sure that you are optimally prepared for this big day. The transition from their litter and their mom to a new home on their own takes a lot out of our little four-legged friends.

But don't panic, with these tips you will already make it a lot easier for your pup.

Make it as comfortable as possible

Put your puppy's basket in a cozy and quiet corner. Put a pillow and possibly a cuddly toy in that basket where your pup can nestle against it when they need it. Buy the basket not at the smallest because your puppy will soon get solid growth spurt and then you can equal its first basket in the trash.

Tip: ask the breeder a few days before picking up the pup if you can put a cuddly toy in the litter. That cuddly toy will take over the smell of the litter. Put it in the basket of your pup once it is at home. This will provide some reassurance to your pup.

Delcon puppy

If your puppy is now over 7 months old, it is better to switch from puppy chunks to junior chunks. This will provide the perfect transition to switch to adult dog food.

Delcon Junior supports your puppy in building muscle mass in the right way, it also ensures that the constitution and joints take on the final shape in a balanced way.

Ensure good health

Your puppy is very vulnerable in the beginning. Make sure you take the necessary measures to protect your puppy from as many parasites as possible. If you notice that your puppy is not feeling 100%, do not hesitate to contact your vet.

Make your house puppy proof

Puppies are just like babies. Everything that comes their way is interesting and should be checked out up close. Make sure you can provide a safe new home for your dog and keep the following items in the danger zone:

- Fragile items
- Electronic wiring
- Do not leave things lying around that are easy for a puppy to eat (stockings, jewelry, children's toys, etc.)
- Store laundry detergents and other chemicals properly
- Be sure to screen off your pool
- Be careful with poisonous plants such as azaleas, yews, ivy, etc.

Routine

Believe it or not but your dog benefits tremendously from routine in daily life. This routine will make it easier for you to teach them things.

Now what do I mean by such a routine, I hear you already thinking! Well, with this I mean that you give your pup for example 3x a day at the same time and at the same place its food. Or at the same time (and the same place) goes outside for a pee.

Apply these tips and make the homecoming for your pup and for yourself already a lot easier!

    Wij hebben na veel zoeken en soorten hondenbrokken van verschillende merken over een paar jaar delcon ontdekt. Eindelijk het juusye eten gevonden voor onze trouwe viervoeter waar hij niet ziek van werd. Helaas hebben we hem in december moeten laten gaan. Nu binnen 2 weken krijgen we terug een pupje en hij zal direct starten met het eten van delcon hopelijk zal hij het even graag lusten .
