A puppy requires care: Food, water, bathing, toys, and veterinarian check-ups.

Please know that your puppy is going through some major changes. He or she is in a
new environment and things are not normal to him or her. If he or she was on a flight or
on a long road trip, it may take a couple of days for him or her to feel secure.
Sometimes, this can cause stomach upset or lack of appetite. If this does occur, I
recommend consulting your veterinarian.

Before Arrival:
Your new Puppy has been eating Black Gold Puppy food. You can usually find this at
your local feed store. If you change the puppy food you may expect some stomach upset.
If you decide to change the puppy's food, you must do it gradually to prevent stomach
upset. I usually recommend 3/4 cup old food and 1/4 cup new food for 3-4 days. Then 1/2
& 1/2 for another 3-4 days.

If shipping is needed, your puppy will be shipped to your choice of major airports. I
normally use Delta Airlines. I only ship on direct flights. Please remember that in
extreme heat and cold, flights can be restricted. I will do my best to ship ASAP.

Vaccinations:
When a puppy leaves my care it is current on vaccinations and dewormings. Please
understand that once the puppy reaches you it will need to be kept on its
vaccination and deworming schedule. It takes a series of vaccinations to build your
new puppy's immunity.

We recommend that you purchase a tube of Nutri-Cal Puppy Vitamin supplement.
It helps with the appetite and energy in your new puppy when they are trying to
make the transition to their new home, especially if they are being shipped. You
