What should you feed a newly bought puppy?
When first bringing a puppy home, keep it on its previous food for a while to avoid diet-change stress, then transition gradually after a week. Puppies under one month mainly need mother's milk or goat milk; after weaning, soften puppy kibble with goat milk or warm water. From three months, feed puppy kibble directly.

Why does my German Shepherd often have diarrhea?
A German Shepherd's frequent diarrhea can be caused by many factors. First, improper diet is a common cause - the dog may have eaten unsuitable or contaminated food. Second, problems with the digestive system can also lead to diarrhea. In addition, internal parasite infection can cause frequent loose stools, and allergies, intestinal infections, stress, and anxiety can also trigger diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists or other uncomfortable symptoms appear, take the dog to a vet. To prevent diarrhea, keep the diet appropriate, maintain a clean environment, and deworm regularly.

My two-and-a-half-month-old puppy vomits and has seizures after coming home—what’s wrong?
Vomiting, lethargy and poor condition have many causes. Without vomiting and seizures it might be stress from a new environment or transport, which usually improves in days. But a newly bought pet risks infectious disease and parasites, so with persistent vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy and appetite loss, see a vet for parvovirus, distemper, coronavirus and parasite screening. Repeated seizures also warrant checking for epilepsy or distemper nerve involvement.
What happens after a Pomeranian is spayed or neutered?
After neutering, a Pomeranian mainly: stops going into heat (no marking, barking, roaming, poor appetite); females have lower risk of mammary tumors, ovarian cysts, pyometra, and longer life; metabolism drops so it may gain weight — reduce fat and protein; shortly after surgery it may be off food and lethargic from stress/pain.
