Differences Between Puppies and Dogs


Adopting a pet can be a life-changing experience. Your new furry friend will likely be your best buddy for life. Puppies require a lot of care as they are growing up, and some training. A dog boarding resort can be a great place for your puppy to learn some manners.

Puppy Behavior
Puppies love playing, and if you adopted more than one, you will likely notice how much they enjoy wrestling one another. You will probably experience some playful biting. Puppy teeth are sharp, so you may want to discourage this. Particularly young puppies, ones who are two or three months old, can be difficult to train and have a short attention span. They need to be watched closely, as they are not aware of the dangers around them, such as an oncoming car, or a growling dog three times their size. You shouldn't be surprised to find chewed up shoes underneath the bed, or your report needed for work shredded to pieces. This is why it's important to keep things up and away from your puppy's line of sight. Some training at a dog boarding facility can be beneficial for puppies and their owners.

Dog Behavior
Typically, once the dog is around two years old (or younger for some smaller breeds), they are considered to be adults. They are usually fully grown at this point, and have likely calmed down a bit. Chewing and nipping is less common, particularly if the dog has received some training. What's beneficial for the owner is that adult dogs are often more interested in their owners than puppies. While puppies love to play with you, they often see you as more of a toy or plaything. A fully grown dog can appreciate the companionship you provide as a person.

Both puppies and dogs make great pets. Bringing one into your home can lead to years of fun.

Dog boarding is a great option for those who cannot bring their furry friend on a long trip or vacation. A pet resort, in particular, lets your dog relax in a private and spacious environment. Before you drop your pet off at one of these facilities, however, there are certain items you should pack. Your Pet's Favorite Food Some dogs do not respond well to a new environment. You should thus try to make your pet feel at home by providing the resort with your dog's regular kibble. This will also prevent stomach issues that can arise when a dog eats unfamiliar food. Proper Identification Make sure your dog's ID card or microchip is up to date before you leave your pet at the resort . Whichever form of ID you choose, it should have your pet's name, your name, and a contact number. Emergency Contact Information You should also give the resort emergency contact information. Ideally, your emergency contact should be a family member or friend who lives close to the facility. Y...

How To Choose the Right Dog Kennel

When you are on vacation, you don’t want to spend your entire trip worrying about your pet back home. That is why many pet owners choose to bring their pooch to a dog kennel. Of course, not all kennels are the same. You need to find a place that you can trust, and one that is a good fit for your pet’s needs. Below are some tips for finding the right kennel for your dog. Cage or No Cage? Many kennels keep the animals in small cages. This shouldn’t be a problem if your pet is used to spending time in his or her crate. However, some dogs get anxious inside small crates or cages, especially if they aren't used to it. If this sounds like your dog, you may want to opt for a pet hotel. Pet hotels provide upscale rooms to create a more homey environment. Playtime and Exercise Before you choose a dog kennel, ask the employees about group play sessions.
