Puppy Care Guide
Our Puppy Care Guide is designed to provide you with all the essential information to ensure your new English Labrador puppy from Platinum Labradors thrives in its new home. From feeding tips to training advice, we cover everything you need to know for a happy, healthy puppy.
Health and Wellness
Keeping your puppy healthy involves regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, and preventative care. At Platinum Labradors, we offer a comprehensive Health Guarantee that covers initial vaccinations and natural deworming treatments. Schedule your puppy's first vet visit within a week of bringing them home to establish a healthcare routine and discuss future vaccinations. Regular grooming, including brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning, plays a significant role in maintaining your puppy's health. Watch for signs of illness, such as changes in appetite, energy levels, or behaviour, and consult your vet if you notice anything unusual.
Training and Socialization
Training your English Labrador puppy is essential for fostering good behaviour and a strong bond between you and your pet. Begin with basic commands such as 'sit,' 'stay,' and 'come,' using positive reinforcement techniques like treats and praise. Consistency and patience are key to successful training. Socialization is equally important; expose your puppy to various environments, people, and other animals to build their confidence and adaptability. Enrolling in a puppy training class can provide structured learning and socialization opportunities. At Platinum Labradors, we are here to support you with expert training advice and resources to ensure your puppy grows into a well-mannered adult dog.
