YOUR NEW YORKIE PUPPY CARE TIPS 1) Offer him water after the flight. (You can do the above, with Nutrical). You can also use
a syringe without a needle and gently squirt a little drink into his mouth to make sure he receives a drink.
2)
Make sure your yorkie is not exposed to extended periods of hot temperatures. (Do not leave him in the car, or in a hot room).
3) Make sure your yorkie is not exposed to extended periods of cold temperatures.
4) When you get home,
give your yorkie puppy some time to adjust to his new surroundings. You can expect him to need a few days to acclimate to
his new surroundings.
5) We feed Royal Canin. It might be a good idea to keep him on this feed, and not change
until he has had time to get settled into his new home. If you do change food, taper off this one, and slowly introduce the
other.
6) Offer your yorkie at least 4 small meals a day. If your yorkie isn't eating, then you may need to
coax him. It is important that he eat to keep his blood sugar stable. IF
HE WONT EAT his dry food, a heaping
teaspoonful of canned tuna or chicken on his dry food is also good to feed him. Remember he is still a baby, and he has had
a long trip. He needs your help in adjusting to his new home.
7) Frequently offer him the chance to go to the bathroom.
If he goes, praise him, but do not punish him for accidents, because he won't understand.
8) Make sure water
is available to your yorkie puppy at all times.
19) His crate is a great place for him to sleep at night and to
take naps. Keep it cozy with a blanket, and keep water and food available with dishes that attach to the side at all times.
10) Also available at pet stores are puppy pads for him to use for potty training, and little portable fences
to put around his crate. This way you can keep your yorkie safe and comfortable at all times. Another option is a small animal
cage with a puppy pad underneath for during the day when he can't be watched. A baby blanket to sleep on will help keep
him cozy and comfy. Food and water dishes attached to the side are convenient, so he always has access to food and water,
and prevents spills.
11) Inspect your home for anything that the puppy might not need to get into to. Puppies go
through a period of teething and chewing, that can damage your property, and be hazardous to them as well. Electrical cords
should be put out of his reach, or he should be carefully supervised when he is not in his crate, so that he can't be
hurt.
