Our approach

Health care is part of
the daily routine.

We follow established puppy-care practices and work with trusted veterinarians throughout early development. These standards guide our daily routine long before a puppy travels home.

  • Balanced nutrition

    Premium puppy diets formulated for steady growth, healthy weight and lasting condition.

  • Preventive veterinary care

    Regular wellness examinations so small concerns are found and addressed early.

  • Age-appropriate vaccinations

    A vaccination schedule followed with veterinary guidance and documented for you.

  • Parasite prevention

    Routine deworming and a prevention plan discussed for fleas, ticks and heartworm.

  • Dental & grooming

    Gentle early handling, brushing and coat care introduced as a calm, positive habit.

  • Sleep & rest

    Quiet, protected rest periods. Growing puppies need a great deal of real sleep.

  • Age-appropriate exercise

    Short, supervised activity that builds coordination without overloading young joints.

  • Socialization & enrichment

    Positive exposure to people, sounds, surfaces and gentle handling every day.

Nutrition that fuels growth

Good food. Right portions.
Consistent care.

Consistent nutrition supports healthy growth, digestion, energy and coat condition during the first year. We use measured feeding routines and send each puppy home with a plan based on the food they already know.

  • Complete and balanced puppy food from premium, trusted brands.
  • Portions guided by age, weight and activity, adjusted as your puppy grows.
  • Consistent feeding times to support digestion and steady energy.
  • Fresh, clean water available at all times.
  • Any food change introduced gradually over seven to ten days.
  • Treats used mindfully, for training, enrichment and connection.

If your puppy has sensitivities or needs a specialized diet, we will work alongside you and your veterinarian to find the right approach.

Inside our care routine

A clean, calm place to grow.

Our puppies are raised inside our home with a daily rhythm built around cleanliness, safety and gentle human contact, a structure that protects health and shapes temperament long before delivery day.

  • Clean, climate-controlled spaces

    Filtered air, comfortable temperatures and daily sanitation of bedding, bowls and floors.

  • Comfortable rest & nighttime routine

    Raised beds, soft washable bedding and quiet, protected spaces for genuine sleep.

  • Individual daily observation

    Weight, appetite, energy and stool are tracked for every puppy, every single day.

  • Structured feeding routines

    Measured meals at consistent times, with fresh water and supervised mealtimes.

  • Supervised play & enrichment

    New textures, sounds, surfaces and gentle handling to build confident, curious puppies.

Healthy daily habits

Small routines, repeated well.

Lasting health is rarely one big decision. It is the quiet, repeatable habits of your puppy’s first year at home. These eight are the ones we would build first.

  • 01

    Body condition

    Check weekly by feel: ribs easy to find, a visible waist, no rapid gain.

  • 02

    Movement in short bursts

    Little and often beats long, repetitive, high-impact sessions at this age.

  • 03

    Real rest

    Young puppies need long daytime sleep in a quiet, undisturbed space.

  • 04

    Crate routine

    A calm, positive den, never a punishment, supports sleep and toilet training.

  • 05

    Enrichment

    Sniffing, chewing and problem-solving toys satisfy natural instincts.

  • 06

    Gentle handling

    Paws, ears and mouth touched daily so grooming and vet visits stay easy.

  • 07

    Positive socialization

    Calm, controlled introductions to new people, sounds and surfaces.

  • 08

    Consistency

    Predictable meals, walks and bedtimes create a settled, confident dog.

Foods & household hazards

Worth knowing
before day one.

A short, calm checklist of everyday items that are commonly unsafe for dogs. Keeping them out of reach is one of the simplest ways to protect your puppy.

  • Chocolate
    Contains theobromine, which dogs cannot process the way people do.
  • Xylitol
    A sweetener in sugar-free gum, candy, some peanut butters and baked goods.
  • Grapes & raisins
    Associated with serious kidney problems, even in small amounts.
  • Onion, garlic & chives
    Including powders and sauces hidden in cooked leftovers.
  • Alcohol & caffeine
    Drinks, coffee grounds, tea bags and unbaked yeast dough.
  • Macadamia nuts
    Commonly cause weakness and digestive upset in dogs.
  • Human medication
    Never give any medicine unless your veterinarian has prescribed it.
  • Cooked bones
    They splinter easily and can injure the mouth and digestive tract.
  • Household items
    Cleaning products, antifreeze, batteries, cords, strings and small toys.

If you think your puppy has eaten something unsafe, contact your veterinarian or an animal poison control service right away. This list is a general guide, not a complete one.

Grooming & dental care

Introduced early.
Always positive.

Grooming should feel ordinary, not stressful. We begin gentle handling long before your puppy leaves us, so brushes, clippers and toothbrushes are familiar rather than frightening.

  • Coat & brushing

    Regular brushing keeps curly and long coats free of mats and spreads natural oils. Maltipoo and Cavapoo coats benefit from a short session most days.

  • Nail care

    Trimmed little and often, so nails stay short and comfortable and your puppy stays relaxed about having paws handled.

  • Gentle ear care

    Ears checked and kept clean and dry, particularly for the long, feathered ears of Cavapoos and Dachshunds.

  • Dental hygiene

    Daily brushing with a dog-safe toothpaste, plus vet-approved chews, protects small mouths from early dental disease.

Frequent health questions

Common health questions

What food will my puppy be eating?
Your puppy will be eating a complete and balanced premium puppy food, appropriate for their age and size. We send a supply of that exact food home with you so nothing changes on the first day, along with the portion guidance we have been following.
Will I receive health records?
Yes. Every puppy goes home with dated health records covering veterinary examinations, vaccinations given to date and the deworming program they have received, ready to hand to your own veterinarian.
When should I schedule my first veterinary visit?
We recommend booking a wellness visit within the first few days at home. It establishes care with your veterinarian, confirms your puppy’s condition and lets you plan the remaining vaccination and parasite prevention schedule together.
What vaccinations has my puppy received?
Puppies receive age-appropriate core vaccinations under veterinary guidance before delivery. The exact doses and dates are documented in the record that travels home with your puppy, and your veterinarian will continue the series from there.
How should I transition my puppy to a new food?
Slowly. If you choose to change foods, mix a small amount of the new food into the current food and increase it gradually over seven to ten days. A gradual transition helps avoid digestive upset, and there is no rush.
What does the 2-year genetic health guarantee cover?
It covers qualifying genetic defects diagnosed within the first two years, subject to the terms of our Health Guarantee Agreement. A written diagnosis from your veterinarian is required, and the agreement sets out the documentation, timelines and remedies in full.
