FEEDING YOUR NEW PUPPY

We feed Blue BuffaloPuppy

 We suggest you start your puppy out on at least one small bag of this feed

before making any changes to their diet, this will help avoid stomach upset in an

already stressful situation. Our puppies are raised so that they have feed available at

all times. This eliminates the risk of Hypoglycemia. I recommend that you purchase

a tube of Nutri-Cal (available at most pet supplies and vet offices) prior to bringing

your new puppy home. Giving Nutri-Cal morning and night helps  Shih Tzu puppies

maintain sugar level during this adjustment period, thus helping control hypoglycemia.

HOUSETRAINING

We house train all our puppies using Dog Litter. It is highly absorbent, non-toxic,

paper-based pellets, Odor controlling, Non-tracking, non-staining, & Stress reducing

for dog and owner by providing relief to pets who can’t’ go out during the day.

By the time your puppy goes home they will be using the litter box and off to a

good start with house training. You may purchase these items at either PetsMart & Petco,

Click on  picture to purchase litter box or litter 






SOCIALIZATION 

All our puppies are pre-spoiled and extremely well socialized.  They are raised in our home with our family so they are used to every day noises and life around the home. We believe in serious time socializing our puppies and do many things to ensure they are well socialized before leaving our home. Much time goes into preparing them for their future homes. A well socialized puppy makes a well adjusted, wonderful companion for life. You also will receive a lifetime of support from me. I encourage you to contact me for any questions you may have in regard to your puppy. Both parents and some grandparents are on premises. Please call to schedule a visit.




NUVET

As a quality breeder, my highest priority is the health of the

dogs I breed. Part of that responsibility includes doing everything

possible to assure their wellbeing after they go to a new home.


While all quality dog foods will provide everything needed to

sustain life, virtually all of them are cooked during the

manufacturing process. The heat from cooking causes much of

the nutrients to be lost during the process. NuVet Plus is cold

processed allowing all of the benefits of its rich nutrients to be

retained, giving your new puppy an extra layer of protection,

especially during the most critical first year of life.


Additionally, when puppies nurse, they rely on their mother’s colostrum (highly nutritious milk produced right after birth) for the antibodies they need to fight infection. However, the maternal antibodies’ effectiveness declines as the puppy’s immune system begins to mature. By 8 weeks, your puppy’s immune system is at a vulnerable point and will soon be challenged on multiple fronts.


When a puppy is moved away from its mother and siblings to live with its new family, the immune system is weakened by the stress of adoption and exposure to bacteria and viruses in its new home. These are pathogens for which the puppy’s body has not yet developed antibodies, and it is widely recognized that the immune system is less effective in times of stress. So starting NuVet Plus now is important to helping your puppy grow into a healthy adult.


The vaccine series is also started during this time period. Vaccines are only effective if the immune system can respond properly. If the immune system is distracted by combating an actual disease processor and it does not receive the nutrients required to keep it strong during times of stress, the health of the puppy is at risk. The best way to prevent illness during this critical time is to provide the nutritional support required for proper immune system function.


About NuVet Plus -


NuVet Plus is a synergistic combination of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals known to boost immune system function. All of NuVet Labs’ ingredients are sourced in the United States, manufactured in a human-grade U.S. FDA registered pharmaceutical laboratory, and cold processed to maximize the potency of the nutrients. NuVet Labs has been in business since 1997 and has never had a product recall. By including NuVet Plus® into your puppy’s daily diet, you can be confident that you are providing the nutrients required for optimal immune system performance

We try to make everything as easy as possible when purchasing an ​R Texas Star Puppy.

To many people, buying a puppy off the internet is a bit unnerving.

​We understand this completely and we welcome you to ask any questions.

​We hope this page will answer some of those questions for you

​ and ​ make you feel more at ease ​with the transaction.
