#10 Keep it fresh.
Always dump the water in your pup's bowl before each meal is served (and between meals, if necessary), and then scrub the dish. Even one stray morsel of food can make the supply taste funny. Without water, your pup could get dehydrated quickly.
#11 Get on your vet’s calendar.
Ensure your puppy has regular checkups (at least three times in the first year). This will allow your vet to get a baseline on his health.
#12 Take him in if he’s sick.
It is unfair to make a helpless puppy "wait it out" if he's ill. Besides, what you conclude is "nothing" could actually turn out to be something. In which case, you'll want to get treatment immediately.
