- They are generally picky eaters.
- They love to be around their owners.
- Eyes must be cleaned everyday to prevent tears stain.
- Ears must be cleaned at least once every three days as I realised its the ears that cause a foul smell.
- Do not feed them citrus fruits, grapes and chocolates.
- Avoid giving them too much treats.
- Do not fear when you see your puppy's teeth drop. Its normal. Just like human, dogs have two sets of teeth.
- If you feel a bump somewhere around his/her tummy, it might be a hernia. Not all dogs have it. Bring it to the doctor and surgery might be needed for some cases.
- Be patient when you are at the phase of toilet training them. It takes awhile.
- When you hear them coughing or sneezing more then 4 times a day, they might have already caught a cold. So bring them to the doctor immediately.
