New Pet Dog Guide

Whether you are bringing a puppy or an adult dog home, your first steps towards a happy and healthy life together starts with Beaphar. This exciting period will bring joy, happiness (and possibly some mishaps) as you grow together as a new family. 

Beaphar has you covered for every stage of your pup's life, from milk supplements through to training aids, and flea and worm treatments. Everything you need to know about preparing  your new canine arrival, and beyond, is featured in our New Dog Guide. 

Where to start? Here are our top tips on choosing your new companion:

• Research the breed
• Consider other pets in your home
• Where will you get your dog from? A shelter, breeder, private?
• Meet the puppy’s parents (if buying from a breeder)

Some puppies might need a little extra help with their nutrition; maybe they are from a large litter or your vet has noticed a slow growth rate, Beaphar Lactol is an ideal supplement.

You have met your new member of the pack, and probably have a date for them to come home. So what do you need to be fully prepared? No matter how carefully you prepare, there are hazards that your dog will find!

• Get down on their level and crawl on the floor at what would you be your dog’s level.
• Check for small objects, hanging wires and anything that looks like a fun game.
• Keep cleaning products and hazardous materials locked away.
• Flowers, such as lilies, must be kept away as they are toxic.

This is an exciting and daunting time! While you may have butterflies in your tummy, the change can cause your pup to experience an upset tummy.

Beaphar IntestoPro supports your dog through this period and help restore normal bowl movements. 

• Your new pup might be full of beans or they might be timid. No matter what age they are, they will always need a safe space to escape to while they settle in. It is recommended to use a Beaphar CaniComfort® Diffuser, which will release Dog Appeasing Pheromones to comfort your pooch.

• Dental care is extremely important. With 80% of our pets suffering from dental issues by the age of three, it is so important to keep on top of your pet’s dental care routine. The ‘Gold Standard’ of dental care is daily brushing with the Beaphar Toothbrush and Toothpaste Kit.
• Ear and eye care are often overlooked but can be important indicators of other conditions affecting your pet . Keep ears and eyes healthy by regular care with products such as the Beaphar Ear Cleaner and Beaphar Eye Gel, to keep them in tip-top condition.
• You will also need to map out a future worming programme, as worms can reinfect your pet throughout its life.

Whether you are about to bring a new dog home, or already have a pack, you and your pooch deserve the best walks. Lead your dog towards happy walks with Beaphar Gentle Leader®.

The nose loop goes around your dog’s nose and jaw, and acts in the same way as a pack-leader’s mouth, giving a clear signal to your dog that you are the leader.
