Puppy Updates

Raven 2022 / Update 15

We are 5 weeks old today! Where has the time gone?! 😮

The puppies are enjoying the lovely sunshine and have loved exploring the garden which they are going into after each feed to aid in toilet training!

They are really active now so they are having 4 meals a day to compensate for all that extra energy they’re burning off! We have also extended their playpen to give them more space when they are in there.

Second round of worming has been completed too and our noise desensitisation continues! It’s all go here in the Sunstrider household! 😝

Raven 2022 / Update 14

After dinner playtime with appropriately themed song on the radio 😝 Raven is giving the puppies a top up of milk after each of their kibble feeds. They’re on three meals a day now and are absolutely loving their food 😁 

We had a busy weekend meeting all of our wonderful forever homes! Some of you have been on our waiting list for a year so it was lovely to finally meet you all! 🥰

Raven 2022 / Update 13

We have had a very busy week this week! Weaning is going down a treat and the puppies are loving their food 😁 they are now having three meals a day of soaked kibble and their table manners are improving 😝

Our desensitisation programme has progressed to scary sounds. We always focus heavily on fireworks as they generally are one of the worst noises that affect dogs. We start all noises on the quietest level and gradually increase the volume day by day so that the sounds become a part of their everyday life!

Our busy week continues tomorrow as we welcome our first visits from the puppies future forever homes 🥰 we’re looking forward to meeting you all!

Raven 2022 / Update 12

It’s been a very busy few days for us all! Weaning is well under way and they are loving their introduction to food! We are on day 3 of worming today and that’s them done until they are 5 weeks old. 

In other news, we have now extended the pen so it is half vet bed and half pee pads. We are delighted to see the puppies moving over to do their business already, although a few accidents are still to be expected 😝

We have also commenced our desensitisation program too. Starting with background noises including household sounds and music. Scary sounds on low volume to start over the next few days too!

Raven 2022 / Update 11

Post feed playtime! We adore this stage when the puppies start getting up on their feet and exploring, it’s so cute 🥰

They are 3 weeks old tomorrow, where has the time gone already! Now that they are up on their feet and eyes open, we have introduced some toys into the box which they are starting to investigate and play with 😁

It will be a busy day for everyone tomorrow as we start the weaning process, which we anticipate will be a messy affair 😝 and they also have their first round of worming which we anticipate they won’t like 😅 pray for us!

Raven 2022 / Update 10

Post feed playtime for the puppies 🥰 they are finding their feet and their voices! Nearly everyone has their eyes open now too. Just waiting on Mr Yellow to open his fully.

Everyone continues to gain lots of weight. They are well and truly the chunkiest pups we’ve had 😝
