My Adolescent Dog's Health Records Mary Jean Simpson

This is your dog's Life Stage No. 2: Adolescent. Your dog has turned into a teenager. Although he can reproduce, he's still growing, so he's not quite an adult yet. His age in this stage ranges from 6 to 12 months. While puppies are demanding and energetic, adolescents unpredictable. This is the most challenging time of raising a puppy. "Teenager" dogs seem to forget everything they have ever been taught. While this adolescent period is individual to each dog, it may begin when it is about 6 or 8 months old and continue until it is 2 years old. As always, it is important to take appropriate action if your puppy gets sick. They depend on you. In your "My Adolescent Dog's Health Records/What I Need to Track and Remember" journal you can record all of the important information your need to keep track of like - Vaccination and microchip information - Veterinarian and clinic information and records - Emergency contact information - Daycare and overnight care information - Food, medications, allergies - Notes from Veterinarian visits and questions to ask - Information common problems and on choosing a Veterinarian - Pages for photos, scrapbook/bullet journal pages - Information about finding training schools - More You can create an excellent health record journal for your adolescent puppy.
