For many dog owners, one of the most important bonding times is puppyhood. This is the time where we don’t just bond and make puppies part of our family, but teach them everything they need to know to survive in a human world. This type of puppy training includes proper doggy manners and obedience training so they know what to (and not do) in public to make sure everyone is safe and happy. For first time (and sometimes veteran) dog owners, this can be a very trying and confusing time, especially if it’s been awhile since you’ve had a puppy in the household. This is especially true for us with Ivi.
At 2.5 years since we had a puppy in the house, she is whipping us into shape and we are once again frantically searching for puppy accessories and the right puppy care instructions. Unlike with Reya, however, we have somewhat of a clue what we are doing, and are not as confused with the conflicting puppy advice and puppy info available on the internet (because you know, the internet is always right). Luckily, this time around we have a new resource of information that has made the milestones through puppyhood more fun and rewarding – Purina® Puppyhood®.
- puppy nutrition
- puppy grooming
- rescue or adopting a new puppy
- puppy accessories and supplies (what is & isn’t safe)
- expert puppy advice
- puppy play
- puppy development states
- proper puppy training
As well, members get access to special features such as being able to track your puppy’s milestones, expert puppy advice, and even puppy friendly destination and resources in your own community.
You can even learn why complete and balanced nutrition is important for your puppy and why they should be on a quality puppy food like Purina Puppy Chow, which offers a unique healthy-start blend made with high-quality protein, plus HDA and essential nutrients also found in mommy’s milk. They even offer frequent coupons for members! With this customized learning experience and tools, you can find everything you need to make puppyhood as amazing as possible for you and your pup!
Personally, we are big fans of the new Puppyhood site. Even as an experienced dog owner, I learned so much from the informative articles and got the reassurance we needed to make sure we are still remembering everything correctly when it comes to raising a malamute puppy. White I love the entire site, I have to say my favorite part is the ability to track Ivi’s own puppy milestones and see where she is in terms of general puppy development.
Want to check out Puppyhood.com for yourself? We personally think it is a must for all new and experienced puppy owners. Best of all, Puppyhood is totally free and they even offer a free Purina Puppy Chow coupon during signup. To learn more, head over to Puppyhood.com today and have even more fun as you experience life with your new furry family member!

Every puppy is different and presents new challenges. Such a cute pup you have! We like the Puppyhood site too, even though our puppy just turned two.
I just checked it out, this has a lot of great information. I know someone who recently got a puppy, i’ll have to let her know about this web page. Thanks for posting!
I love the idea.
Ha! I love this post and the cute pictures. We are considering getting a puppy. I think it will be amazing if we do. 🙂
What a cutie Ivi is! It’s been a long time since I had a puppy in the house. I sure could have used this site then. It would have been very helpful.
There are so many things on that site I wish I knew when Reya was a pup. It is such a fantastic resource for new dog owners!
my dog princess is still pup and then she a chawaii and then she thinks she big dog
My puppy has grown into a dog but your ideas are great I will pass it along to my friends who have puppies.
I love this site, Ivi is so darn cute!
We are looking for a puppy to love right now. This site will be a go to place for any questions we might have. I have raised a puppy before and know that it takes a lot of hard work dedication and patience
OMG – your puppy is so cute. This sounds like a great resource. I’ll definitely bookmark it in case we decide to get another dog. When we got our puppy a few years ago, it was really hard to find reliable information online so Puppyhood is great.
I wish everyone would have to do something like this. There are so many pets in the AC’s that some are being euthanized and some are people did not train their pets and lost control. This will be very helpful.
these are great tip on having a new puppy. My brother just got a new wean puppy so i past these on to him
Your posts are very helpful. Wish they had been here when our Roxy was a pup.
Every puppy has to learn what is acceptable behavior and what isn’t. It’s great to have a site where you can go to get advice and this is it! Thanks!
This is an excellent website. Purina did a great job with organizing all the different types of information to help new puppy owners!
Did the two dogs take to each other right away? I don’t know much about dogs. I’ve always had cats and know it can be tricky trying to bring a new cat in.
It took the girls about 48 hour and then they were all about one another. 🙂
My grown son just got a puppy of his own,he has never owned a dog because we always had cats but this site has a lot of great information on some of the behavior issues he’s having.
Those are adorable puppies. I haven’t had a puppy in a very long time as we adopted an older dog so I would really need the website to help me!
Love your puppy. He looks like he has so much energy for hours of playful fun for both of you.
Nice post. Getting a puppy takes lots of time and research before you get one and while you have one. I love learning all I can for my pugs.
Wow. I had no idea Purina had made such an awesome site. That commercial of theirs is soooo cute. I would have loved to have a place to track my dog’s milestones and for helpful info. Ivi is so gosh darn adorable!
It looks like this contains a lot of useful information and will come in handy when I get my next puppy
i have 3 little gals and they were all different. the oldest now almost 14 was the easiest to train, very quick learner. potty trained in 2 wks, although now she is having problems b/c of her age. the 2 younger girls do well most of the time, but if left alone for more than a few hrs, leave mom some oops. they cant seem to get the hang up it. even though they know. they are all well socialized and very well behaved. the middle child hates to have her nails done, had an incident at the vet and now has problems. have to use a dremel and that is even hard with her. they all hate baths but will tolerate them.
Having a puppy is so much work !!!! But I think they are well worth it <3
This new website by Purina is awesome! I wish I’d had something like this available to me when I had a new puppy! Thank you for sharing this information!
What a cute idea. You have a great site!
I want another dog now. I am just not sure I want to go thru the puppy phase again. I am thinking about getting an adult dog from the shelter. I am sure Purina’s food for adult dogs is just as nourishing as puppy food is. Good luck with your dog.
What a great site! I would tell everyone that is getting a new puppy about this site and what useful information it has. I wished they had a site like this back in day…it could’ve saved alot of frustration for me and my Max..lol
I haven’t had a puppy in years. But just like babies, they have to adjust to a whole new environment. I would have to read up again, because like everything else, there is always change & a better way to do things. How nice it is to give a free Purina Puppy Chow coupon during signup. I will signup when I get another puppy.
This is great advice! I will be using this on our next puppy!
Very interesting, this would have been helpful when my dog was a puppy. Your dogs are absolutely adorable, what cute faces!
I have not had a dog in about 15 years (renter). But this is a great wealth of information on how to get back into the swing of things when raising a puppy. Most of all, patience and understanding come in handy as well. They are learning and growing every day! 🙂 Best of luck to all with little pups!
Omg your puppies are so cute. That video is adorable. We are always trying to teach out dog certain tricks and to stop certain behaviours (like jumping on people when they least expect it). Thanks for the tips, we will try to incorporate it when we are training our dog.
Theses pics. Are cute of theses dogs and their funny
Cute puppy! The site has some useful information, but I definitely do not support any Nestle brands, and I prefer to feed my dog better quality food.
Hi N Bear, we do not feed Purina products either but I do think it is a useful, very informative site for new dog owners. 🙂
When my dog was a puppy she would eat purina dog chow. Recently though, she is very picky. There are days that she won’t even eat her dry kibbles and only eats her wet food I give her when she gets her pills.
awe puppy! this is cute, and really good. We are getting a pitbull puppy when he’s ready to come home! We currently have a 10 year old pit who is amazing, but dying of cancer. We haven’t had a puppy in 10 years so itll be interesting! my oldest dog is 15!
So glad there are sites out there to help. Being patient is important. All dogs are a little different, and they have to learn you just like you have to learn and care for them.
Really nice and thoughtful. Thank you very much.
Both of your dogs are so cute. The puppyhood site is great for 1st time and old hats at puppy care.
Thank you for sharing this information. I am planning on getting a puppy and this will be useful for me.
I have had many dogs the puppy stage for years I am 61 years old I do not like the puppy stage its worth it in the end hard is lose them when they grow old mine now is 11 years old I will take the puppy stage anyday
Like humans, each puppy has a distinct personality. What works for one might not work with another. Just have patience!
My Grandfather raised German Shepherd puppies for the police K-9 Unit; every puppy was carefully evaluated. It is extremely crucial to start obedience training as soon as possible, usually around 12 weeks old., some pups are quicker to learn than others.
This is such a great idea. I haven’t had a dog since I was a kid and I really miss our doggy Tim-Tim.
We’d like to be pet owners some day. It would be fun for the kids to grow up with a puppy.
Great resource and should offer some comfort to overwhelmed first time puppy owners. The video is so cute.
I have never raised a puppy! Have had adult dogs before but only raised kittens. I know it hard from friends
they have alot of useful information on that site.my brother got a new puppy so i’ll have to point him in the direction of this site.we had a malmute along time ago.such beautiful dogs.i’ve never seen a brown one she’s so cute
This has a lot of really good information. I love ready anything dog related and informative.
I love the photo of the malamute on a computer.
I wish I could have my puppies back. They are so nice and cute when they are that small.
Puppyhood sounds like a really wonderful idea! I wish I had known of it earlier. We adopted Mickey when he was about 10 months old, so still technically a puppy. It could have come in handy!
I really love that this program is being offered to help people prepare for puppyhood and make sure they train and bond with their new puppy correctly. I am thinking about getting a new puppy myself, but I have never experienced this before, and I wouldn’t know the first thing about properly taking care of my puppy. Thus, having something available that gives me nutrition advice, training advice, and even accessories and supplies advice would definitely help me to prepare to take care of my new puppy the right way. Thank you for sharing such great information about the puppyhood site!
