Pregnancy and birth are formative moments in the life of an animal - and humans. It lays the foundation of a healthy life. This is precisely why special attention should be paid to a healthy and balanced diet. cdVet has developed products to make the start of life as optimal as possible.

Since riding in the car is often a new situation for puppies, excessive drooling can occur due to stress or nausea. It can help to slowly get the puppy used to riding in the car. However, in some dogs, excessive drooling persists even after intensive training.

If you want to prepare a puppy to be left alone, it is important to build up the owner's absence in small steps. To do this, you leave the room for a few seconds at first and increase the time interval gradually, but in small steps.

Up to the age of 8 weeks, puppies should be fed approximately every 3-4 hours. At the age of 8-12 weeks, the frequency can be reduced to around 3 meals a day. After the 3rd month of life, 2 meals a day are sufficient. From the age of around 6 months, the number can be limited to one meal a day, but it is still recommended to feed 2 meals a day in order not to overload the dog's stomach and to prevent hyperacidity.

To get the puppy used to urinating outside, it should be taken outside immediately after eating, playing and sleeping. A fixed schedule will help your puppy to get used to regular toilet visits. When the puppy urinates, it is then praised extensively so that a positive association is created. To prevent nighttime mishaps, the puppy can be accustomed to spending the night in a dog crate. In the morning, it should then be taken outside again directly. If some urine does end up inside, the puppy is not punished, but simply taken outside without comment.
