Frequently asked questions
New puppy owners often have many important questions, and we welcome them—because informed families create healthier, happier puppies. Here are some of the most common health-related questions we receive at Southern Charm Precious Paws, along with detailed answers to guide you.
What are the top 3 things people should know about keeping their new puppy healthy?
1. Preventive care is everything. Routine veterinary visits, vaccinations, and parasite prevention are the foundation of a healthy life. Staying on schedule with checkups and treatments helps prevent small issues from becoming serious problems.
2. Proper nutrition builds strong bodies. Feeding a high-quality, age-appropriate diet supports healthy growth, strong bones, and a good immune system—especially important for small breeds like Yorkies and Morkies. Fresh water should always be available, and treats should be given in moderation.
3. Consistency creates long-term wellness. A stable routine for meals, potty breaks, exercise, and rest reduces stress and supports both physical and emotional health. Puppies that feel secure and well cared for are more resilient, confident, and better able to thrive.
When these three elements—preventive care, proper nutrition, and consistency—work together, they give every puppy the best possible start toward a happy, healthy life.
What common health questions do you get asked about new puppies?
“Is my puppy eating enough?” Many owners worry when puppies eat lightly during their first few days at home. We explain normal adjustment periods, proper portion sizes, and how to recognize healthy appetite patterns.
“How often should my puppy see the vet?” We guide families on vaccination schedules, wellness visits, and preventive care so they know exactly what to expect in the first year.
“Is this behavior normal?” Questions about sneezing, hiccups, soft stools, or extra sleeping are very common. We help families understand what is typical for young puppies and when it’s time to call the vet.
“When should I start dental care?” For Yorkies and Morkies, dental health is especially important. We often advise owners on early brushing habits, chew options, and long-term oral care.
“How do I protect my puppy from illness?” Families frequently ask about parasite prevention, avoiding high-risk environments, and keeping their puppy safe while their immune system is still developing.
Our goal is always to provide reassurance, education, and clear guidance—so families feel confident caring for their new companion and never hesitate to reach out with questions.
