Puppy Awareness

What we were told:

1) Told Peppy is a Silky Terrier
2) Told his cough is over
3) Told to buy children's cough mixture for him
4) Told he is loosing fur only because he is still a puppy and shedding his baby fur

All of which are lies.

Upon a check up by the vet and another consultant, we found out he is malnourished and underweight.


If you are going to buy a pet, here are a few things to look out for which I have learned over the past few days

1. Do background checks about the place you are buying you're pet from
2. If you do decide on buying a pet, decipher the given  price. If too low, or too high, question so.
3. Find out the characteristics of the breed and possible health related susceptibilities
4. Know yourself, are you ready to make such a major commitment?
5. Apart from you, anybody else you can rely on to look after your new baby?
6. Do you have enough money to support and sustain a healthy life for your pet?
7. In Singapore's current environmental climate, take into consideration temperature and humidity levels, are there any skin allergies or problems you're pet may face when they become adults?
8. Find a good vet, not someone who will rip you off telling you to buy this or that, find someone you can trust.
9. Will your existing pet ( if you have one) be okay with a new friend in the house? How will he/she react?
10. Lastly, I guess.. just be sure you can love your pet unconditionally. It's the easiest, most natural and priceless gift which is all they really need to be happy and perhaps healthy :)

Over the past 8 days, Peppy's condition has dramatically improved! I think it's mainly love which is behind it all :)
