Adopting a new EBD puppy? Do you have food, bowls, crates, bedding, toys and water? What you say about water? Yes. Take 2 empty 1 gallon jugs with you, if you can, and fill up with the water from where you get the puppy. Just like visiting foreign countries and you are told not to drink the water, the same applies for puppies also. Their digestive systems are very sensitive to change. You should start off feeding the same food that was being fed to the puppy. A respected/reputable breeder will educate you about what they feed, why and even offer you a bag “to-go” if you do not have the same food. Any changes in food should occur over a 1 week period of time. You gradually transition over to the new brand of food to prevent violent difference in digestion. The same applies with water. Start to mix the original water with the new water 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 and then fully switch. This will also minimize changes in the digestion system.
This will only apply if you are actually picking up the puppy locally. If shipping is required, that is another BLOG post.
