How many times a day should I feed a Bichon?
Adult Bichons need two meals a day (three if digestion is slow). Puppies depend on age: ~2 months need 4–5 meals; after 3 months, 3–4; reduce a meal when they start leaving food. Add egg yolk, chicken, or beef occasionally, but not too often to avoid pickiness.
How Long After Vaccination Can You Bathe Your Dog?
Wait at least 7–10 days after vaccination before bathing your dog. The modified-live vaccine briefly lowers overall immunity while the body builds antibodies (3–7 days), so a chilled, poorly-dried coat can trigger colds, bronchitis, or pneumonia. If dirty, wipe with a damp towel and blow-dry fully. Also avoid new foods, intense exercise, and dog-dense places for two weeks, and watch for 24-hour reaction signs.
What to Know When Your Dog Is Pregnant
A common myth is that a pregnant dog needs lots of extra food — but early on, intake shouldn't rise much, or obesity makes delivery harder. Avoid baths in the first 20 days and last 10 days; in between, a quick warm rinse and thorough dry is fine. Keep the nipples clean and dry, and never give any medication (including dewormer) without a vet's sign-off.
