Your new puppy!

Now that you've picked out your puppy here are some things you will need to purchase to make the transition to your new home easy. We have created a checklist of all the items we recommend purchasing prior to the delivery of your new puppy. 

  • Royal Canin Starter Kibble (Small bites)
  • Solid Gold Nutrient Boost Kibble (Toy & Small Breed) Bison & Brown Rice formula
  • Royal Canin Starter Mousse Wet Food (canned)
  • Stella & Chewy Meal Mixers Beef
  • PRN Pharmacy STAT liquid High-calorie Supplement for dogs
  • Safegard (Fenbendazole) dewormer
  • D.E.S. Health-Gard Fast Acting Liquid Probiotic

Food: At BBK we offer our puppies two types of kibble and two types of wet tasty food to ensure they are eating even when they are being picky. Each puppy will go home with a small bag of food. Please do not change their diet during the transition of ownership and environment. Any sort of changing of the diet will cause gastrointestinal issues which can cause diarrhea and anorexia. This will create a secondary issue like dehydration, hypoglycemia, or even death. Please allow 30 days before considering weaning to a new diet.

***If your puppy is not eating, mix a 1 TBS Royal Canin Starter Mousse Wet food, 1/4 TSP of STAT (high calorie supplement), and water to make a paste like liquid. This formula will need to be spoon or even syringe-fed to ensure the puppy eats.

Vaccination & Deworming info

It is important to understand the importance of vaccinations and deworming for your new puppy. Parasites and viruses are everywhere and prevention is key to keeping your puppy healthy. Establishing a relationship with a Veterinarian is recommended. At BadaBing Kennels we follow a strict vaccination and deworming protocol.

We deworm puppies at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age. Puppies are treated with Pyrantel, Toltrazuril, and Fenbendazole prior to the arrival to your new home. With all efforts made to deworm puppies its common for puppies to require a routine deworming schedule after his/her arrival to your environment.Parasites are common in puppies and we recommend using a product called Safeguard (Fenbendazole) which will prevent/treat common parasites like pinworms, roundworms, tapeworms, etc. Please also administer the D.E.S. Health-Gard Fast acting Liquid Probiotic when deworming. This will help settle their gastrointestinal system during wormings. We do not guarantee any sort of parasite diagnosis.

By 8 weeks of age, our puppies receive a vaccination for parvovirus. We will administer Neopar or a 5-way (DHPP) vaccine. The size and sensitivity of the puppy will determine which vaccine he/she will get. Veterinarians recommend administering vaccines at 2 week intervals starting at 6-8 weeks of age. We do not recommend Leptospirosis for our dogs due to the high chances of a reaction. This vaccine done at the buyers expense. All puppies will come with age-appropriate vaccinations. The Seller does not guarantee the effectiveness of the vaccines.

We also recommend discussing with a veterinarian for the use of Nexgard. This is an oral chew that is given to puppies 8 weeks and up and weighing at least 4lbs. This will help prevent/treat fleas, ticks, mites and parasites. All our adult dogs are on this treatment.

Size


When a puppy is born we are able to chart the size of the puppy through periodically weighing the puppy to determine its size. Another way to estimate size is through the parents. We will take the two sizes from Mother and Father to give an estimated weight and height (poodles). Sometimes there are “throwbacks” which means genetically a puppy is smaller or bigger than his/her parents size. The seller will not guarantee the puppy’s size.

Delivery


Shipping with Nanny: When purchasing a puppy through BBK, you will be given the option to purchase a flight and physically pick up the puppy at the ACV/SFO airport or place a deposit with a flight nanny that will assist delivering your puppy to the closest major airport. Once the puppy leaves BBK, it is assumed that the puppy is now in your care. Any accidents or exposure to environmental irritants or viruses will be out of our control. Please do not place your puppy on the ground until he/she has finalized all required puppy vaccinations. The seller does not guarantee against any accidents during travel.
