Teacup Care Information

These are wonderful tips that you can read and use.  This Teacup Maltese Care information will assist you in the first several weeks with your new Teacup Puppy. Due to their small size, teacup puppies must replenish their energy more than larger dogs.    The only way of doing this is to ensure that your teacup puppy gets nourishment from food.    Teacup puppies eat very small amounts of food at a time, they are not like the larger dogs that can eat twice a day.   It is important not to change the type of food that your teacup puppy is eating in the first two weeks.   If you decide to change the food, ensure that you do it slowly by mixing the new food each day until you gradually make the change.  Please note that if you drastically change the food it can make the puppy not feel well.

The first thing to remember is that a teacup Maltese  puppy is stressed when they are moved from environments.   Remember that the teacup puppy has been taken away from their mom and siblings and brought to a new home with strangers.    It is important that you try to make it a safe, quiet and peaceful environment for your new puppy.    Please treat him like a newborn.    Refrain from loud noises, screaming and keep the new teacup Maltese puppy at home.
