Preparing for the
arrival of your new Shar Pei puppy is a fun and exciting venture, but you are
undoubtedly overwhelmed with questions and concerns about moving your puppy into
your home, wondering how to prepare yourself and your family, and what is yet
to come with the arrival of your new Shar Pei pup. The thing is, nobody can plan
ahead so perfectly that nothing comes as a surprise, but the good thing is that
in the following few paragraphs, there is a ton of information about ways to help
you make this transition as smooth as possible.
Puppies are Expensive
Firstly,
before making the decision to purchase a new puppy, you should know that Shar
Pei puppies tend to be expensive, even more so than children. Purchasing your
new Shar Pei puppy will cost you several hundred dollars if not more, especially
if you are buying a purebred. On top of the original cost, there is food, supplies,
vaccinations, doctor bills and incidentals in case the puppy becomes ill or injured.
This is something that people don’t always plan for, and when they are
unable to afford these things, the dog either becomes unnecessarily ill or the
owner is forced to give them away because they cannot care for them properly.
The best way to avoid this is to make sure you have some money set aside before
purchasing the puppy.
A Place to call Home
Secondly, before you
purchase your new Shar Pei puppy there are several things that you need to do
at home so that his or her arrival is comfortable and pleasantly memorable. A
puppy should have its own designated spot in your home where they can sleep, eat,
or just go when they need a moment away from the busyness. Prepare your family
and designate rules and responsibilities so that the new addition isn’t shocking,
and you can all do your best to make things smooth for the new puppy.
Buying
toys that are just for the puppy is also a good idea, as it gives him a sense
of security and distracts them from wanting to chew on other things such as shoes,
couches, etc. Puppies have many accidents, so you should be prepared with some
cleaning supplies before the puppy ever comes home. In order to clean up messes
before the puppy learns where he or she should empty their bladder, you should
have old rags or towels available, newspapers, and a safe disinfectant to keep
things clean.
Safety First
Once your furry friend is ready to come
home, there are a few things that you should remember. Remember that your new
Shar Pei puppy has just left his mother and siblings, so this change will be hard
and sometimes painful for him. Watch your puppy for cues as to how to react with
him.
Making sure that your puppy is safe is crucial, and thus you should
master the art of creating
a living space for your Shar Pei puppy. First of all, be patient. Raising
a new puppy takes incredible patience, as their misbehavior can be frustrating.
There are times when it will seem like he needs constant attention, and other
times when he needs to be alone. You should never force your puppy to play, as
this will only create frustration for both of you.
