Puppy Tips
**Our dachshund puppies are fed Eukanuba Dry Puppy**
All our puppies are vaccinated, dewormed and receive a full health
examination by our vet, Dr. Lohr at Nile Point Veterinary Hospital,
before leaving our home.
Please take some time and read this information sheet. This will help
you with upset tummies due to change of environment.
What's included with your new puppy:
** AKC registration papers
**Vaccination and dewormings
** Health certificate issued by our vet
** Written health guarantee
** Eukanuba Dry Puppy Food
** Chew toys
** Blanket
** Liver treats
Deworming schedule:
We are NOT veterinarians, we follow our vets advice on deworming our Dachshund Moms
and their puppies.
~ Two weeks prior to going into season we treat our Moms with Panacur for 3 days. This is
because the females are most vulnerable to parasites throughout conception, pregnancy,
whelping and rearing their puppies.
* Birth, on the second day the Moms are treated with Nemex for 2 days.
* Puppies are treated with Nemex at 2-3-4 weeks of age.
* At 6 weeks our dachshund puppies are treated with Drontal Plus
* At 8 weeks of age, when the puppies receive their first shots, they are treated with
Panacur
If our Dachshund Puppies get loose stools, we retreat off schedule. Fecal tests are Notorious
for coming back as false negative. It has nothing to do with the skill of the tester, some
parasites are harder to detect. It is also important to bring a stool sample in to your vet
when you bring your puppy in for it's second set of shots.
Bringing home your new puppy:
It is very common that when you bring home your new puppy, it can have loose stools and
even diarrhea. This does not mean your puppy has parasites, but could easily have been
stressed out due to change of environment. It is very important to keep your puppy quiet for
the first few days, start a daily routine, bond with your puppy, DO NOT change your
puppies diet. If you feel the necessity to change your puppies diet, please do it gradually, to
avoid further stress on your puppy. If your puppy doesn't seem to be eating properly or has
loose stools, boil some boneless, skinless chicken and white rice. This will help settle your
puppy's digestive system.
Until your puppy is fully vaccinated, please avoid pet stores, dog parks, grooming shops,
and when you have to go to the vet, carry your puppy in and don't let him play with other
dogs. There are many airborne diseases that can harm or even kill your puppy. They are very
vulnerable to diseases until they are fully vaccinated. If you bought your puppy at 8 weeks
of age, they have only had their first set of shots. Also try to keep your puppy away from
strangers. Take this time to bond with your puppy. Pictures are a great way to show off your
puppy. Scrap booking has also become quite popular.
