At Betty’s Teacup Puppies, we want to ensure your new puppy settles in comfortably and stays healthy.

We recommend feeding your puppy Royal Canin Extra Small Breed (light blue bag)—½ cup per meal, twice daily (morning and evening). When your puppy first arrives, soften the kibble by soaking it in boiling water for 5 minutes and draining it before serving. This helps with digestion and is particularly important for young puppies who are still developing their teeth.
Hydrating the kibble also releases its aroma, making it more appealing for picky eaters, and helps keep your puppy hydrated for overall wellness. As an occasional meal replacement or to encourage picky eaters, Royal Canin Starter Mousse can be offered about once a week. It’s an ideal option when your puppy isn’t interested in their regular kibble, helping maintain balanced nutrition.

A playpen is highly recommended to provide your puppy with a safe, relaxing space, especially during their first few weeks at home. This helps them adjust to their new environment and prevents accidents or injuries. You can find great options on Amazon, or reach out to us if you’re interested in a more luxurious glass option. Always ensure the playpen includes food, water, a pee pad, and a cozy bed

. In the event your puppy experiences hypoglycemia due to not eating or stress, Corn Syrup can be a crucial aid. Gently rub a small amount on your puppy’s gums to quickly raise their blood sugar levels. This is particularly useful for smaller breeds that are more prone to sugar drops. Probiotics are another vital part of your puppy’s care.

They help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, improve digestion, reduce symptoms like diarrhea or constipation, and support nutrient absorption. Probiotics can also boost your puppy’s immune system and promote a healthy coat and skin especially useful for reducing stress-related tummy issues. 

Lastly, we recommend Nutri-Cal, a high-energy supplement that’s great for boosting your puppy’s energy especially during travel or after arrival. Give your puppy 2ml before any flight or trip, and for the first week at home, administer 2ml in the morning and evening. This will help support your puppy’s energy levels as they adjust to their new surroundings.
