Are you raising a puppy and a senior canine together? This can be a difficult time. Many owners will bring a puppy into the family when their older canines are close to leaving them. Sometimes the owner will introduce a puppy into the family during the senior’s early years so the senior doesn’t feel like he’s being replaced and instead takes the puppy under his wing for training. This is the better scenario. No matter what the case may be, if you have a younger dog and an older dog, you will need to make sure you cater to the older dog’s needs. For instance, older seniors need more nap time and quiet time. If the puppy is being rowdy, move him to another room. If the puppy is playing to rough, move him to another room and play with him. Cater to your senior’s needs and teach your puppy to respect him. For assistance, talk with your veterinarian Carmel, IN.
