Do you have any male Maltese puppies or multi poodle

Most children are unaware of the signals that dogs send when they don’t like something or are trying to get away. So by picking a puppy up, the kids are unwittingly forcing the dog into an uncomfortable or even painful situation. Dogs who are continuously held even when sending “please stop!” signals will remember the unpleasant experience and try to avoid the situation again. Take the time to teach the children what the dog looks like when he’s happy and when he’s not and how to hold him properly.

Yes. Slices of apples, oranges, bananas, and watermelon make tasty treats for your dog. Be sure to remove any seeds first, though. Seeds, stems, and leaves can cause serious problems. These foods should not be fed to dogs: grapes, raisins, avocados, ice cream, milk products, yeast dough, alcohol, caffeine, macadamia nuts, bones, candy, gum, chocolate, fatty meats, peaches, plums (because of the pits) raw eggs, raw fish, raw meat, and Xylitol (a sweetener found in many sugar-free products).

This all depends on a few factors: the nutrient content and digestibility of the food and the size of your puppy. Small-breeds need to eat more frequent meals to avoid hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), they also have tinier teeth and should eat small-kibble food. When it comes to large and giant-breed puppies, do not overfeed them. Many people assume filling their puppies bowl to the brim will help them grow big and strong, but this can contribute to the development disorders. Large or giant breed puppies should be fed a diet specifically formulated to large or giant breeds. If you are not sure, always ask your vet.

Chewing is a natural behavior. When you leave something enticing in a young puppy’s path, chances are they're going to chew on it. That’s why it’s up to you to puppy proof your home. If you think your puppy could eat an object, get it out of their reach. That’s another reason why crates are so useful — they help keep your pup out of trouble. Give your puppy plenty of toys that are safe for them to chew on. Food puzzles and interactive toys can help keep their mind occupied.

Start as soon as you bring your puppy home. You’ll probably want to work on housebreaking, foundational commands like sit and stay. Work on stopping their jumping behavior and teaching them to walk on a loose leash. That’s a lot! But you don’t need to do it all at once. Keep training sessions short and fun. Make sure to practice reward-based, positive reinforcement training technique.

If your puppy hasn’t gotten the proper vaccines yet, it’s not a good idea to take them to public places like the dog park, where they could contract a deadly disease like parvo. The dogs at the dog park could be ill or un vaccinated. It’s not worth the risk; wait until your vet gives the all-clear.

First, the veterinarian will take your puppy’s vitals and ask for his health history. Next, the veterinarian will examine your puppy from nose to tail to check for signs of disease, abnormalities and external parasites. Depending on your puppy’s age and vaccination history, the veterinarian will administer the proper vaccinations. He/she may also give deworming medication and suggest flea and tick prevention. Your puppy’s first exam is a great time to bring up any questions or concerns you want your vet to address.

When the dog is submissive and acting calm. He will be holding his head low, with his ears relaxed and slightly back. He might curl into a circle. Basically, he is slinking himself smaller, telling you he does not wish to be boss. You can give your dog all the love and affection you wish at this time. Do not give your dog affection when he is excited, or when he is showing signs of dominance—very perky and proud, looking and asking you for attention. A dog that is asking to be petted is demanding that you do something for him. A demand from a dog is an alpha behavior. Alpha behavior can also be seen when he carries himself proud with a stance that makes him look bigger. His ears will be perked. When dogs carry themselves like this they look beautiful, but in the dog world, this is a dog trying to puff himself out for the role of the leader. Dogs should not be petted or sweet-talked to at this time.

Dog breeding is important because, when dogs reproduce without human intervention, their offspring’s characteristics are determined by natural selection. While in planned dog breeding refers specifically to the artificial selection of dogs, in which dogs are intentionally bred by their owners.

The recommended frequency for washing your dog is once a month. It is important to remember that washing your pup more frequently than this could cause his skin to get too dry for comfort. If the need arises for you to give him a second bath, try to use only water for the wash or a shampoo that provides moisture for his skin!

The answer to this question is a resounding yes! It is very important to brush your pet’s teeth on a regular basis, using pet toothbrushes and pet toothpaste of course! You may want to know why teeth cleaning is so important. See the facts below to further understand why your pet needs his pearly whites in mint condition! Signs of teeth and gum diseases begin occurring in 80% of dogs after reaching the age of 3. Because of the fact above, veterinarians recommend yearly professional cleanings, especially as your pet gets older, along with daily brushing by pet owners to combat this. The serious effects of dental problems can be prevented by proactive, preventative care. Help your pet with his beautiful smile; in doing so you will be promoting overall good health!

It is always best to consult with your vet regarding any specific pet medication question; that being said, there are some general guidelines you can follow regarding these three types of common treatments. Heartworm medication should be provided for pets on a consistent basis by the time they reach the age of six months. This is especially relevant for areas of the globe, like North America, where mosquitoes, the carriers of heartworm, are relatively prevalent. Flea medication can be applied as a preventative or on an as-needed basis, i.e., when infestation occurs! There are various types of flea medication including pills and ointment. Some work better than others, so talk to your vet! Much of the time, medications on the market combat both ticks and fleas at the same time. So when should you invest in these types of pills? Some people try to be proactive in fighting off these pests since ticks especially can be very harmful for our pets if they pounce.

According to PetMd, 50% of dogs over the age of 11 show signs of cognitive decline (which some might refer to as dementia). So the answer to your question is yes: it is possible for an older dog to suffer from cognitive decline/dementia. If your dog has some of the symptoms listed below, you may want to mention it to the vet during checkup, so he can test for Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome. Seems lethargic Not interested in usual activities Change in sleeping patterns Seems confused CDS is not curable, but the symptoms can be treated. Sometimes, our dogs just get old; and when that happens, it seems their old bodies cannot behave like when they were young. There are some things you can do however to help your pet in this situation. When a diagnosis is given, you as the owner can choose to either purchase medication for your pet to help slow the decline or go with therapy options. Both options, especially if used together, can be of great help to your pet!

Dogs eat grass to satisfy dietary needs or to provide treatment for themselves when feeling sick. Usually, you don’t have to worry about any harm coming to your pet if he eats grass, but as a good pet owner you do want to ask yourself “why” if you see him doing so! Perhaps the diet he is currently on is not providing him the nutrients he needs; so he is looking for those needs to be met with the grass that he eats. Also, a dog who feels sick to his stomach may find a quick natural remedy for this by eating grass. However, if your pet starts to suddenly eat grass in large amounts, take him to the vet right away: experts advise this course because such activity can likely mean he has something very wrong with him and is trying to help himself.

We are absolutely NOT a puppy mill. Our dogs are very well cared for, loved and each one is special in their own way to our family. No amount of money is more important than the emotional and physical health of my animals. I have heard people say, "watch our for people with more than one breed." That offends me!! I love all my breeds and don't want to pick only one specific breed to raise and enjoy. This is the hobby I have dreamed of since I was a little girl and I take pride in knowing that my four-legged babies are so loved and well taken care of.

*Check out our facebook page, where many of our past families have posted comments and pics of their puppies that they have adopted from Princess Puppies. *We have a verified Pay Pal account in good standing for the last 10 years. *We will never ask you to wire money. *We have reference upon request. *Check out our Testimonials *Please read our blog post Beware of Puppy Scams

No, you do not have to have a Pay Pal account. You can sign in as a guest user and use your debit or credit card.

We can fly your puppy via Delta Airlines safe pet cargo program. The cost is usually $350 which covers the airline ticket, brand new crate, soft bedding, vet check and health certificate. The price may go up a little if we have to travel Dash which cost more for the airline ticket. I will only fly the puppy if we can get a flight that is not to long for the puppy. Most of the time, we can schedule a direct and short flight for the baby. Contact me if you are interested in flying your puppy to your state. I will not fly any puppy that I feel is not suitable for this type of travel.

Contact me either by phone or email to make sure the puppy you want is still available. Then you are welcome to press the Reserve Me button and follow the directions from there. Make sure to fill out the Buyers Information Form on this page. A non-refundable $200 deposit.will go toward the price of your puppy (4% Pay Pal fees will be included). $200 will go toward the price of your puppy and you pay the balance in cash when you pick up your new baby.

One of the best way to estimate a puppys adult weight is to use a size chart. For example you can Google Maltese growth chart. I have also included the weight of the parents on the individual puppy page. Using parents weights to judge the weight of your new puppy is not always perfect. Genetics often come into play and the size of grandparents and even great grandparents can also be a factor. Because we have over 10 years experience with raising these sweet babies, I can always give you my estimation of a puppys adult size.

Of course, you are welcome to see your puppy before you buy it ;) We are located in Lena, Louisiana. Call for more information

I get this question all the time. I have no preference, my males and females are equally as intelligent and I've not found a difference with the potty training aspect. Some people worry about the menstration of a female and "marking the territory" of a male. If you get your new puppy fixed around 6 months of age you should not have to worry about these issues.

We paid $1300 for our little Sophie. She is priceless. Very well tempered, a wonderful loving lap dog. My wife and I tell everyone about princess puppies. We drove 3 hours one way to get her. Love her so very much.

If you check the website you can see which puppies are available. Also you can call, they are very helpful. We got our Shih Tzu from here and could not be happier.

Best thing to do is call Brittany, she is very helpful and will let you know!
