Congratulations! Its a Female! Or a Male!
So, now that you have chosen your new puppy and are eagerly awaiting its eight-week
birthday, what are you doing to prepare your home and family for the new addition?
Here are some helpful hints!
#1 and probably most important if you have small children, TEACH your little ones
how this tiny puppy must be handled. Get a little stuffed animal and demonstrate
picking up, holding, petting, and putting down this little fellow. Poms are fairly delicate
animals, but with a little preparation, they can be handled safely by the average child. If
your child cannot control his enthusiasm or is rough, perhaps you need to wait before
introducing an animal to the home.
#2 Prepare a bed for puppy. A box, commercial dog bed, playpen or crate is fine.
Prepare it with a soft blanket and a little toy.
Have chew toys available for him during playtime, but never give him milk bone dog
biscuits, rawhides, grapes, raisins, sousage or any chocolate treat.
#3 We will start you off with a small amount of the food, or coupons for the food puppy
is used to eating. If you feel that you would like to use a different (high quality only,
please) puppy food, introduce it gradually, mixing it with the food he is accustomed to.
Have dry puppy food and water available at all times.
Make sure if your puppy is eating. If he does'nt eat enough, his blood sugar can drop
and he can develop very dangerous Hypoglycemia.
#4 Poms need regular brushing and bathing.
It is important that you take special care when puppy is young.
Use a mild puppy or baby shampoo and dry him well with blow dryer on low setting.
At about four or five months of age, the puppy coat falls out and is replaced by the
adult coat, which is usually fully developed at about one year of age.
#5 When you get your puppy, he will have already had his first series of puppy shots. The second series of shots will
be needed in three weeks, and the third three weeks later.
Your puppy has been de-wormed least 4-6 times. Remember, all puppies have worms
and we try eliminate most of them by de-worming puppies at age 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 weeks.
Your puppy will need to be de-wormed again soon. Choose a good vet and bring him
immediately to ascertain his good health and to advise you about further de-worming.
If diarrhea occurs, please use Kaopectate or 1-2 tsp canned pumpkin least 3 times at
day. If there is no improvement after two days , contact breeder or vet immediately,
because this can be a sign of coccidia or giardia caused by stress and your puppy will
need medications ASAP.
Don't take your puppy to places like the groomer, doggie parks, pet stores, or other
public gatherings until ALL three series of puppy shots have been finished. Your puppy
may make a new friend who is carrying deadly parvo, giardia or coccidia. Make sure
your puppy has enough rest; too much handling and rough playing can cause stress.
#6 Age-appropriate training should begin with gently showing your pet what is expected
of him. Take him to the same area and give him small rewards and lots of praise when
he goes there. If he has an accident somewhere else, pick it up and take it to the
appropriate place to show him that is where it belongs. Never beat your puppy or put
his nose in pee-pee...You will make him scared of YOU, not scared to pee! If you do not
actually see him going potty in the wrong place, ignore it, as he does'nt even remember
doing it! When leaving him home alone for short periods, leave him in his crate. This
will give him a sense of safety and security. As he gets older, he will be able to stay in his
crate for longer periods of time without having accidents.
Good luck and once again, Congratulations.

On this page we will try to give you an idea of what is involved when getting a new baby. Please take the time to read these important tips as it will make you feel more ready for the next step.

In the first two weeks we will ask you to monitor your puppy’s behavior closely and make sure your puppy is doing what every healthy puppy does: eat food, drink water, play and goes to the bathroom regularly.
The most important thing to remember is that a puppy is exactly like a human baby until it’s about 4 months old. It needs to get a lot of rest and quite time so it can develop and be your best friend for life.

When bringing your new puppy home we recommend not to give it access to the whole house right away, rather, you should designate a room where it is nice and warm, and let your new friend get used to his new home slowly. In that room, make sure the puppy has fresh drinking water available all the time and has access to it whenever it feels thirsty.
Offer it a comfortable cozy bed he can climb on and off of.

Puppies at this age should eat every 3-4 hrs. We will give you detailed feeding instructions about the brand and preparation of the food when you pick-up your baby. Since they are so small they don’t need to eat much but you must make sure they don’t skip a meal. If for some reason your baby doesn’t want to eat, it is important that you will let us know right away so we can suggest you what to do. Again, if the puppy doesn’t eat, do not wait, puppies so small can get Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) very easily if they don’t get enough calories or if they are under too much stress. Hypoglycemia can also cause weakness, seizures, lethargy and even death. There are many things we can do to prevent that, but we must take action fast. So be sure to have our numbers handy in case you need to call. For first aid – Use a clean towel to wrap around the puppy and make sure he is warm. Rub a bit of honey, corn syrup or some Nutri-Cal on the gums to get some glucose in his blood. Try to get the puppy to eat ASAP. If the attack is very strong take him immediately to see a vet.
And no, you don’t need to wake up in the middle of the night to feed your little baby.
Just make sure it ate a bit before you go to bed (you can also give a bit of “Nutri-Cal”) and then feed your puppy first thing in the morning. If from some reason you want to change your puppy’s diet, it is important to do it during the course of about 10 days when you start with 80 % old food 20% new food and every day add more of the new and less of the old. Changing the puppy’s diet at once can cause stomach disorders and diarrhea. Not good.

Check your puppy on a daily basis to make sure everything is OK. The eyes should be nice and clean, if needed, use a baby wipe to clean gently around the eye.
The nose should be slightly wet and the stool should be nice and solid.
His ears should also be looked at to make sure they are clean.
For the next month or so it is recommended not give your puppy a full bath, instead, use a warm, wet towel or baby wipes to clean. Make sure the puppy is completely dry when you’re done as they are easy to get a cold. An important spot to check is the butt-hole. Make sure it is nice and clean, and if needed wash with warm water and a bit of puppy shampoo.
Altogether, tea-cup puppies are exactly like any other puppies, all they need is a little bit more time and attention to make sure they get everything they need.

Remember- you are not allowed to take your dog out in public except for the vet until it gets all of its shots.

After passing these critical two weeks you should do what every responsible pet owner does:
Take your dog to the vet regularly to get his check-ups, vaccinations and deworming.
When the time comes- spay or neuter your dog.

Keep your dog on a leash when out in public.
Get your dog license, I.D tag and even a microchip to help find your dog in case it gets lost or stolen.
Take it for grooming every now and then but brush its coat on a daily basis.
If something doesn’t look right, do not wait; contact us or your vet ASAP so your dog can get the treatment he deserves.
And don’t forget: if you will be there for your dog to love and care, it will return to you 1000 times more.

We wish you the best of luck with your new  baby and hope you will have only good times together!
