I think a big part of these interminable arguments about tabs is based on people using the same words to mean different things. In the following, I'm trying to avoid espousing my personal religion here, I just thought it would be good to try and explain the various sects. Anyway.
Puppies may be placed in new homes once they are eating well on their own. However, they will be better adjusted and make better pets by staying and interacting with littermates and the Mom-dog until they are at least eight weeks old--older generally is better.
Itâs essential for a puppy to stay with their mother and litter-mates for the first 7 weeks MINIMUM of their life, but itâs universally agreed that 8 weeks is best. Therefore, you should never take a puppy before 8 weeks old.he reason you take your puppy to the vet within the first week home is so they can check for any birth defects, any hereditary disorders or abnormalities, and any internal or external parasites. It helps if you take a stool sample along to the first vet visit for this purpose.
