PREPARING TO BRING YOUR PUPPY HOME

 Getting a new puppy creates a lot of excitement, from the time you get on the buyers list until the day you actually bring your puppy home. The experience of getting a new puppy creates memories that last a lifetime.

And, as with any new commitment, the best way to be ready is to have all of the necessary preparations done ahead of time.

Below are the areas to be reviewed so that your adoption goes as smoothly as possible. Much of this is an overview, but we are always available to answer your questions in more detail. 

Great Pyrenees are naturally inquisitive, which makes them inclined to explore the world. This is why having a fenced yard is so important. Great Pyrenees are very social and would enjoy exploring your surrounding neighborhoods just to see what’s out there.

They generally adjust quite well to living in a fenced area. If you happen to be in a very rural area and not close to any paved roads, a fence is not as critical, but keep in mind as your Puppy matures he/she could decide to go and see the countryside if you are not around to keep them company.

So a good secure fence is essential to keep your dog safe, and also give them opportunity to run and play.

 Most of our puppies go to their new homes at about 8 to 9 weeks of age. We always send a Health Info write-up which lists all of your puppies’ current vaccinations and other healthcare items. This is the same information you will give to your veterinarian so they can keep your puppy current on all vaccines and preventatives.

A dog’s environment plays a huge role in their health and well being. It cannot be emphasized enough the importance of keeping up your dog’s heartworm preventative & flea treatment. We highly recommend that you have your dog micro chipped and keep their information activated.

We expect owners to keep their dogs in their homes as they need to be included in family activities and will not do well in isolated environments which is true with most breeds.
