To take good care of your canine friend, you should constantly expand your knowledge and get only the best products recommended by specialists and other dog lovers. For this reason, we have created our My Sweet Puppy blog, aimed at helping people to be better prepared before getting a new pet and to improve their care of the animal they already own.
One of the issues we discuss here are health problems. We have explained, for example, what are the signs of worm infestation – if you notice that your pet vomits and coughs often, has lost weight, or experiences any other symptoms, you should take it to the vet as soon as possible.
Apart from that, we have also gained a lot of information on how to raise a healthy and happy puppy. You can find out what to do to improve your little friend’s mental abilities so that they can be more sociable and self-confident, as well as less stressed out. Moreover, you will learn about all the steps that should be taken before letting your puppy play outside. On top of that, we have provided many useful tips on raising kids and puppies together, so if you are a parent who wants to get a doggy for their little one, you should learn how to make the sleeping arrangements, what to monitor when they are playing together, etc.
Some of our blog posts are dedicated to particular breeds, so you can learn more about German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, French Bulldogs, and more. Every breed may have different qualities, needs, and common health issues. For this reason, apart from learning some general facts on taking care of a dog, you need to know what to pay attention to in the case of your particular canine.
In order to help you choose the best supplies for your dog, we have also prepared a lot of useful reviews of particular products. You can see which brands of food are the most recommended for dogs of certain breeds, ages, weight, etc. What’s more, you can also see which kinds of food are best for pets with particular special needs (like allergies, obesity, or specific health issues). All the food we recommend in our blog posts has been checked by our experts, and you can be sure it has been made of high-quality ingredients to be both tasty and healthy for your four-legged companion.
Interestingly, some of our posts are also focused not on dogs directly but on something associated with them. As an example, you can browse our movie post, where we have gathered all the best suggestions of what a dog lover can watch. There are classic movies such as All Dogs Go to Heaven, Lassie Come Home or Beethoven, along with some more recent ones like Marley & Me or The Artist. Lots of these stories are really heart-melting and have been loved by dog lovers all over the world!

What is everyone’s favorite topic? Puppies! Yes, if you have a new puppy, you’re probably curious as to how to take care of them.

Even though you may be so excited to show everyone your new puppy, their health is more important!
When it comes to purchasing food for your furry best friend, so many of us are guilty of not putting enough research into the kibble or wet food that we’re buying. Dog food can get expensive, especially when you are buying it often, and/or you have multiple dogs.
Have you ever thought of making homemade dog food? Although it sounds like work, homemade dog food can not only be cheaper than the high-quality kibble you’re buying every other week, but much better for your pup!
When it comes to your pup, you probably know them like the back of your hand – what their sleep schedule is, if they’re grumpy in the morning, if they’re a picky eater, etc. But what if there’s a sudden change in their personality, or something seems a little “off” all of a sudden? Is this just a fluke, or is there something wrong with your dog? Most importantly, should you be taking them to the vet?
Just like a human child and human adult have a different metabolism and biology, so too do a puppy and an adult dog. As a general rule of thumb, dogs under one year old are considered puppies. Puppies require a specific blend of nutrients to make sure they grow and develop properly. They are also extremely energetic and require high-calorie and high-protein diets.
By the time your puppy reaches adulthood, they will need to switch their kind of food.
So, you finally got a dog! We here at My Sweet Puppy tip our hats to you for giving a loveable dog a forever home. As a new dog owner, the learning curve can be a bit tough to manage. Even when you’re experienced with dogs, introducing a new one to your home comes with its own unique set of challenges.
One of the most important things to figure out is what your dog will eat.
Compared to many kinds of pets, dogs have an extremely varied diet and can eat many different kinds of foods. Dog are naturally omnivorous and can healthily consume a bunch of meats, fruits, and veggies. But there are a few foods that are particularly good for them and some that are bad.
As far as bad food goes, most people are aware of the usual suspects like grapes and chocolate.
Raising puppies and kids together can make for a rewarding experience for everyone involved. Puppies love kids and kids love puppies. Furthermore, adults love seeing kids and dogs playing happily together. And nearly everyone who grew up with a puppy and spent their childhood growing with a dog remembers the experience fondly.
But, in order for this to work for a family, it’s important for the adults in the home to know how to keep everyone involved happy.
Newborn puppy’s eyes open between 10 and 14 days of age. This, like all of the other developments that occur in the first few weeks of life, is exciting for those who are watching the puppies grow and for the puppies themselves. What can you expect during the first one to eight weeks of puppy development ?
Puppies start their lives dependent on their mothers. They rely on their dog moms to feed them, keep them safe, and even help them expel waste from their body.
Having a new puppy in your home is exciting no matter what the breed. However, they need care as they grow. Puppies will grow to any of the following sizes depending on their breed category:
• Giant – 75-120+ lbs
• Large – 55-85 lbs
• Medium – 35-65 lbs
• Small – 7-35 lbs
• Toy – 2-9 lbs
But to get to that adult stage in a healthy capacity, they need good quality food, lots of love, activity, basic training, toys, socialization, a comfy place to call their own and good, consistent veterinary care.
