Sydney Toy Poodles

Firstly, congratulations on your new fur baby!

Here is our puppy advice, recommendations & a few things you need to purchase prior
to bringing your puppy home.

If you have any questions let us know!

Puppy care

- Prior to picking up your puppy purchase a puppy blanket. There are some cute cheap ones
from Kmart
- Keep this blanket in bed with you so it absorbs your scent, this will help reduce your new
pup’s anxiety & get them used to the smell of its new owners. This little trick will help in the
following weeks if you need to pop out for a bit & leave the pup alone. It also assists with
bedtime for pup
- When you pick up your puppy, don’t put the puppy in a crate take that same blanket &
introduce your scent.

Food

When the puppy comes, please make sure you have food ready for them. Try to steer away from
processed dog foods & keep them on a rich micronutrient diet. This will positively affect the
growth and colour of your pup’s coat condition & ensure for a happy healthy puppy. Puppies
must be fed 3 times a day.

What we have fed them & some options

- Cooked Chicken legs and wings with a little bit of rice & grated carrot. Place in a pot with a
little bit of water slow cook for about 20min wait for it to slightly cool down take the meat
off the bone for them. Try to not get them used to hand feeding.
- Chicken feet is also a good alternative, usually found in your nearest butcher.
- Raw mince, beef, lamb or chicken (no pork),
- Any beef or lamb on the bone is also a good source of food as your dog can chew on the
meat and bone! You can ask your butcher for the bone off cuts. This is a great way to
strengthen their teeth.
