Spring is the best time to have a puppy in the house: tips from dog handlers

      According to Vladimir Golubev, President of the Russian Cynological Federation, this period is optimal for several important reasons.

      "As a rule, it is quite difficult to choose a specific month of purchase, as it depends on the breeder and the litter. Usually, the owner finds out the estimated birth date of the puppies and adds at least three months. That's when the puppy will be ready to move to a new home. But if suddenly the future owner has the opportunity to wait and choose the season, dog handlers recommend paying attention to early spring. And there are grounds for that," the expert notes.

      The spring period is especially favorable for the pet's adaptation for several reasons. Firstly, this is the ideal time for vaccination and socialization of the puppy. By the middle of spring, when the course of vaccinations is completed, the weather becomes quite favorable for walking.

      An important advantage of spring is the formation of a healthy pet. The puppy receives a sufficient amount of vitamin D, and with the arrival of heat, the natural need for active games and walks increases. After the snow melts, the amount of chemicals in the environment decreases, which creates a healthier environment for the growing organism.

      In addition, spring is the time of the May holidays, and summer is traditionally associated with vacations. This gives owners more opportunities to communicate with their pet and adapt to it. You can not only introduce the puppy to the surroundings, but also take him out of the city or to the country.

      However, dog handlers emphasize that if it is not possible to purchase a puppy in the spring, do not despair. The main thing is the willingness to pay enough attention to the pet and take care of it. With the right approach, you can raise a healthy and strong pet in any season of the year.
