Show your pup some love!
Congrats - you're the brand new dog parent to a lovely little puppy.
You've likely already gotten some tips, googled some guides and feel somewhat confident in looking after your new pup.
But there may be things you haven't even thought about, like choosing the right collar and how best to brush your puppy.
Luckily for you, Petmania has your back - with lots of handy tips and advice on puppy care.
Puppy Care Advice
Petmania's website is your one-stop shop for all you need to know about caring for your puppy, from birth to his/her first birthday.
Here's just a selection of some of the areas Petmania has covered on its website:
Lead Training
Not every pup knows how to walk on a lead, so Petmania has set out advice for you.
They cover the different types of lead and harness, as well as having a step-by-step guide on how best to train your pup for all those fab evening walks.
Choosing the right collar
From measuring your pup to the different types of collars, Petmania has all you need right here.
There are a number of things you need to consider, like how strong your dog is to its skin type, but Petmania has all that covered.
Getting social
It's one of those things you definitely think about yourself, getting out and chatting to people.
But your pup is no different, they need to get out there and socialise!
Petmania lay out the importance of this on their website, and how essential it can be especially in your pup's first year.
Of course, there are lots of other important tips a pet owner needs to know - find them all over on Petmania.ie.
