Bringing home a new puppy? 🐾
It’s exciting, chaotic, joyful—and, let’s be honest, a little overwhelming.

From potty training to teething to vet visits, there’s a lot to consider. But if you want your puppy to grow into a healthy, calm, well-adjusted adult dog, how you start matters.

That’s why Victoria teaches a holistic approach to puppy care—one that looks at the whole dog: body, mind, and behavior.

Let’s break it down.

🥩 Nutrition: It All Starts in the Bowl

Your puppy is growing fast—and what you feed them shapes their energy, behavior, and long-term health.

Victoria recommends a species-appropriate diet built on:

• ✅ High-quality animal proteins (chicken, beef, turkey, lamb)

• ✅ Healthy fats (fish oil, coconut oil)

• ✅ Fresh whole foods (carrots, spinach, blueberries)

• 🚫 Low or no fillers like corn, soy, wheat, and by-products

Even adding just 10% fresh food to a kibble diet can boost your puppy’s digestion, immunity, and coat health.

👉 Bonus tip: Puppies need multiple meals a day—4 meals until 12 weeks, then slowly reduce to 2 by 6+ months.

💉 A Smarter Vaccination Schedule

Vaccines are important—but more isn’t always better.

Dr. Judy Morgan (a holistic vet Victoria references often) recommends a custom schedule based on:

• Your puppy’s lifestyle

• Your location and risk factors

• Titers (antibody testing) instead of automatic boosters

Over-vaccination can cause inflammation, autoimmune issues, or chronic health problems.
That’s why the holistic path prioritizes minimal, essential protection—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

🧠 Mental & Emotional Wellness

Puppies are sponges. Everything is new. That means early routines and structure matter—a lot.

Set your puppy up for success by:

• Creating calm feeding and sleeping routines

• Practicing structured crate time daily

• Teaching calm behavior gets rewards

• Offering interactive training sessions and puzzle games

• Exposing them gently to new sights, sounds, people, and surfaces

The goal? Confidence without overstimulation.
Calm puppies = healthy adult dogs.

💧 Don’t Forget Hydration & Rest

Fresh water and regular rest are just as important as nutrition.

Victoria recommends:

• Always offering clean, filtered water

• Monitoring how much your pup drinks (especially after exercise)

• Allowing plenty of nap time between activities

• Creating a quiet, predictable sleep environment (crate time helps!)

Puppies don’t need constant entertainment—they need balance.
