Golden Retriever Puppies Blog

It’s common sense that Golden Retrievers love people and get on well with other pets too. It’s in their basic characteristics, but in case they aren’t socialized well, there can be surprises. To avoid this, we have to pay enough attention from  early puppyhood, to learn the proper behavior skills.
We have to introduce the pup to people and animals step by step: the close family first, and gradually more and more people and pets. It is very important to do this step by step, otherwise the pup can get too shy or too aggressive. If we give enough love and attention to a Goldie, it’s sure to get back much more than the energy we have put in.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

Feeding an early aged Golden Retriever pup is not just a simple task of “Open up and say ‘Ahhh’”. To be a caring owner or parent for this puppy, a detailed routine should be laid out by the breeder for their healthy growth as well as the commitment. When you take home your puppy, don’t immediately switch the type of feed. A transition of 25% new mix with 75% of the old and progress until it is the opposite with 75% of the new one.

This will allow their sensitive stomachs to adjust. Since the pup is growing it will actually need twice the nutrients than an adult. By 8 weeks, the puppy can be given a dry food diet with warm water added to the mix for moisture to help them slurp it up. Nutrition experts highly recommend a thrice a day consistent routine until they reach six months. If the routine is followed, the puppy’s stomach will be well adjusted for new things.
