You’ve brought home a new puppy! The day of excitement that you’ll never forget soon turns to evening…and nightfall. If your puppy is like many, he may begin the “first night howls,” making it a night you may never forget, too!
You can help your new family member, though, with some preplanning. Holistic vet Dr. Randy Kidd, veterinary adviser of Rainbow Light Nutritional Systems and Green Dog Naturals as well as the author of Dr. Kidd’s Guide to Herbal Dog Care offers this advice:
If it’s her first day away from momma or her other family or recent familiar surroundings, she’ll likely miss them, and she may set up a howl when she’s supposed to be sleeping quietly in her own bed. Try a warm water bottle, well wrapped in several layers of towel; a ticking clock nearby may also make Pup feel like she’s still in momma’s company.
