We just got two puppies they are six weeks old on Tuesday. Anybody know where I can get their shots and not pay my arm and leg?? And any tips or things to watch for??
Go to Locke Hill Feed Store right off Huebner when they have their mobile clinics. Probably today! They usually do it on Saturdays.
Call them--they know everything there is to know about flying, barking, meowing, mooing, neighing, hooting creatures. I trust them.

cool, I only live like a block away from there. Ill check them out. Do you know the cost for the shots??
No, it's been a while, but I don't recall them being expensive.
Post some pictures of them when you get a chance. Everybody likes puppies!
Ill take some pics and post later today or tomorrow.
get some puppy pads and realize raising pups can be difficult at times. Be patient.
those pee pads are worthless. Keep them penned in one area at first and just use newspaper. I got lucky with my last pup, I just praised him when he went outside, he only had 2 accidents and was potty trained in 2 weeks
Butta---HEB at 1604/Bandera had some sign on their doors about them doing a low cost vaccination day. Not sure what day and if it was at this location.
Sorry it's a little vague
Currently Im keeping them tied on a short leash in the kitchen with Newspapers. I think the main thing is to get them into a routine about eating and going potty. But they will be confined to that area for the most part until they are trained.
I agree...they don't work for . Depending on how young they are (if you mentioned it already I missed it) they're gonna have to go several times a day, especially after eating and drinking. Make sure you let them out at these times. If they're too young, they won't "get it" just yet and you're bound to have some accidents, but for the most part, puppies/dogs don't like to "go" where they live (spend most of their time) so they'll want to go outside. Make sure you praise them when they do go outside, and do yourself a favor and make sure you get them crate trained now.
I also wouldn't keep them tied up anywhere, that's bad for them and will give them negative associations to both the leash, the area and the table. Buy one of those pet gates. They're $40 and work GREAT.
Yeah pet gates are they way to go.
And as for puppy pads...I guess I am just having luck with mine.
Well every situation is different, they didn't work for either of my dogs but that doesn't mean they don't work period. The other thing is...if/WHEN they pee somewhere, you can't just wipe it off...you need a specialized cleaner that kills the enzymes in the wizz otherwise they'll smell it and keep peeing in the same place. That's the theory behind the pads.
How is it going by the way?

Try the SNAP clinic, they specialize in those moblie sterlization clinics you see in front of HEB......they do everything else though.
My wife and I just got a Yorkie pup as well. I have realized that he pees and poops right after eating and drinking. He is in a pretty good sized crate with paper.
Getting better, they are real good about going outside, but still have accidents. They have gotten use to be confined to one area. I think they are starting to grasp the routine. Toughest part is it takes a while when taking them out because they distract each other before doing their business.
I gave them the distemperment shots, but they are going to the Vet next week.
Cute puppies! I am a big believer in crate training, it's always worked for me.
few more rounds of shots and you won't have to see the vet for a year.
Sounds like your doing a good job.
Just make sure you don't throw them off any bridges...
Im moving in May, so I will see how they do between now and then, and I will be getting a crate at that time. For now they are good.
