Practiced Siberian Husky Puppy Care at Mountaineer Farm

Neonatal Care

Our puppies are brought up with the best from the very beginning. While in the womb matrons are fed premium grade Iam's DHA Enhanced Puppy Food, raw meat, vitamin supplements, and puppy replacement milk. Dam is dewormed 2 weeks prior to whelping.

1st thru 3rd Weeks of Age

Matron's continue on diet specified above. Puppies are subject to human handling by adults and children (children under adult supervision), Neurological Stimulation, weight checks, and rear dewclaw removal. At 2 weeks of age we begin weekly deworming.

4th thru 6th Weeks of Age

These weeks consist of all of the above and a few new things get introduced. Such as, bathing, toenail trims, outside introduction (weather permitting), woodland wildlife and cattle introduction, playtime, and various puppy toys designed to stimulate their minds. Around the 4th-6th week of age puppy weaning begins. All pups are then fed Iam's DHA Enhanced Puppy Food. Microchipping is performed between the puppies 5th-6th week of age.

7th Week of Age

Everything above with car rides, individual puppy socialization, introduction to halters and leashes.

8th Week of Age

All of the above, with vaccinations and meeting their new families.

Between our pups 3rd and 16th days of life we introduce the puppies to neurological stimulation. This is a period of rapid neurological growth and development, and therefore is of great importance to the puppies.

Benefits of Neurological Stimulation

Five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed to the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises. The benefits noted were:
  • Stronger heart beats
  • Stronger adrenal glands
  • More tolerance to stress
  • Greater resistance to disease
  • Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate)

From the very start, a puppy learns important lessons through his experience of the world around him. Even in the first few weeks as he snuggles with his dam, wrestles with his litter mates, and is handled by his breeder each day, the personality traits and social skills that he will have all his life are beginning to form.
