PUPPY CARE GUIDE – Lucky Pets

FEEDING & ROUTINE

A puppy needs regular meals and a calm place to eat. During the first days, give the same food your puppy was fed at the breeder’s — sudden changes may cause digestive issues.

Serve meals at regular times, preferably 3–4 times a day.
Always provide access to fresh water.
After about a week, you can gradually introduce new food by mixing it with the current one.

A consistent routine is key — it helps your puppy feel safe and confident in their new environment.

WALKS & PHYSIOLOGY

First walks are a big adventure for a puppy, so they should be short and calm. Remember that until your puppy completes their vaccination schedule, they should not have contact with unfamiliar animals or places where other dogs may have been.

Take your puppy out after waking up, playing, or eating — this is the best time for house training.
Reward every “successful” walk — praise or treats work best.
Be patient — regularity and a calm approach bring quick results.

PLAY & BONDING

Play is not only fun but also learning. Puppies learn through experience, and shared activities strengthen the bond with their owner.

Choose safe toys appropriate for your puppy’s age and size.
Spend time every day playing together — it satisfies the need for movement and closeness.
Do not leave your puppy alone with toys that can be easily destroyed.

Closeness and positive emotions help your puppy feel loved and confident.

SLEEP & REST

A new home means many new stimuli, which is why a puppy needs plenty of sleep — even up to 18 hours a day.

Provide a quiet, calm place where your puppy can relax.
Never wake a sleeping puppy — rest is essential for healthy development.
End a stimulating day with a moment of calm and affection — it’s the best bedtime ritual.

HEALTH & GROOMING

During the first weeks, it’s important to visit a veterinarian who will confirm your puppy’s health and plan the vaccination schedule.

Regular vaccinations, deworming, and dental checks are essential.
Brush your puppy’s coat several times a week to prevent matting.
Observe your puppy’s behavior — changes in appetite, lethargy, or coughing are signs to consult a vet.

PATIENCE, WARMTH & CONSISTENCY

Every dog learns at their own pace. The most important things are patience, consistency, and a positive approach. There is no perfect method, but love and calmness always work.
