Congratulations on the purchase of your new purebred Bichon Frise puppy! He (she) will provide you with great
companionship for years to come. With a little patience you will have your new friend house-trained in no time. I prefer the
crate method, but that is your choice. Your puppy has been cut down to 2 feedings a day the last week he stays at my
home. That way it makes it easier for you to set up your own feeding schedule. I prefer to feed the young pups at least 3
times a day.
We feed our puppies Canidae All Life Stages dog food. It is a human grade dog food with lots of veggies and vitamins. It does
cost more. You never know what kind of so called ingredients are in the grocery store brands. Also, you will notice you dog
will have firmer stools (easier to clean up). This also means they are utilizing their food instead of pooping it all out. There is
a sample bag in your “puppy kit” along with a card for you to send in and get offers for coupons.
Also it is a good idea to have plenty of rawhide chew toys. I prefer the un-basted white ones because they don’t stain my
carpets or the dog’s face. Please purchase the ones made in the USA and not a foreign country. They often use chemicals to
dry and preserve the bones which can cause harm or death to your puppy! Small dogs are prone to early tooth loss and I
highly advise a diet of hard dog food (KIBBLE). Please use supervision with anything your puppy may put into his mouth.
I do my own grooming and it is a good idea to get your puppy used to a little handling before you send him off to the
groomer. The three essentials are a good slicker brush, a wire comb, and a matting rake.(for when your puppy gets older)
If you brush your dog at least 1 time a week your groomer will LOVE to see you coming, believe me!!!
***Also Bichons are prone to have allergies to flea bites, so the first thing you will want to do is get a puppy on some kind of
flea program. I use FLEA FREE (and it’s good for them). I take ¼ cup of Flea Free and mix it up with water in a gallon jug
and put it in the refrigerator. Let me know if you are interested in this and I will send you a link to the website. This is a totally
holistic flea control program. Your vet may also suggest another brand like Frontline, Advantage, or Sentienel, etc. Do you
realize these products can eventually lead to health problems with your precious pets? Do you know the fleas that bother
your poor dog, actually come from a cat?
Your puppy has had its first 2 shots. I used Vanguard Plus 5 puppy shot. DA2P+CPV—first shot 6 weeks, second shot @ 8
weeks. Your puppy has also been dewormed with Drontal Plus. We vaccinate every 2 weeks if the puppy is here longer than
8 weeks.
***I sell all my Bichon Frise puppies with a health guarantee. You have 72 hours from the above date to have your puppy
examined by a licensed veterinarian. If there are any health problems, bring the pup back and your purchase price will be
fully refunded. After that time, up to 1 year, if some thing happens to the pup you may return the pup for another of equal
value. All shipping fees to be paid by buyer.
Negligence is Not included. It must be documented by a licensed vet. (Genetic health problems only, under bite, overbite,
umbilical hernias, dew claws, etc. not included) There are certain disorders that may be caused by environmental factors ( ie allergies, thyroid dysfunction, mange, & autoimmune disorders) that are NOT covered by this guarantee.
I do not sell puppies for breeding, but you may do so at YOUR OWN RISK. My puppies are sold as “pet companions ONLY”
(unless you are purchasing a Bichon Frise puppy with full AKC registration.) Your puppy should be spayed or neutered as
soon as possible. We do not guarantee any puppy that may not come out of the anesthetic for any surgery. Any animal or
human does take a risk by being under anesthesia and things do happen.
If at sometime you find that you cannot take care of your Bichon Frise, please call and I will make arrangements to find a new
home. Don’t forget, you can never give your puppy too much attention or love, just be patient and in a few weeks your
household will be back to “normal”. If you decide to crate train try not to give in to the pups whining the first few days as they
have all been in the crate, if only for a short time. I know it’s really easy to put them in bed with you, believe me, and let them
whine. You will thank yourself later. Enjoy your new best friend.
