Common Q&A
Toxic Foods for Dogs?
Avoid Chocolate, Grapes, Onions, Garlic, and Xylitol. They are extremely dangerous!
How to stop puppy biting/nipping?
Redirect biting to appropriate chew toys. If they nip, let out a high-pitched "Ouch!" and stop playing.

Generally once every 2-4 weeks. Bathing too often can strip natural oils and cause skin irritation.
First vet visit check?
Discuss vaccination schedules, flea/tick prevention, and deworming.
