After the puppy arrives at the new home, it needs to adapt to it for at least about a week. Some dogs may experience obvious stress reactions, such as diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia, etc. At this time, the owner needs to comfort him well and accompany the dog more. Generally, it can gradually recover in 1-2 days.

During this period, the puppy's immunity will decrease due to stress response. Therefore, it is best for the owner not to bathe the puppy within a week, nor to take it out, and to clean the home, and the dog's diet should not be too oily or salty.

If it is a puppy of 2-3 months old, then it is necessary to take it to get vaccinated after the puppy is adapted and healthy. This can effectively prevent the puppy from getting infected with infectious diseases, because infectious diseases are an important cause of death of puppy. In addition, it is also necessary to deworm it, which can usually be dewormed inside and outside once every month and a half.

puppies usually take 1-2 weeks to adapt to the new home environment. During this time, it may feel uneasy or anxious and therefore requires the patience and love of the new owner. To help the puppy adapt to the new home, the owner should try to keep quiet, provide a safe environment, and provide sufficient space for activities and rest.
