Nekhbet Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Just when you thought advice could not get worst a lady come in today with an 8 week old puppy (swf breed), she wants to teach it to sleep in a kennel during the day so the vet told her to chain it to the kennel overnight ;) It's absolutely freezing out here at night I cannot imagine a 2kg puppy all alone in a kennel in the backyard being 'fine' she already has a crate so I told her the pup would be fine in there, have a big pee and poo first, zip it in with a chicken neck and all will be safe and hunky dory. You really have to wonder :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekhbet Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) no no owner was totally worried about leaving poor pup outside at all but when a so called professional gives you that advice ... :p vet said unless its -1 and raining the pup will be fine errr no! puppy is happily staying in laundry or crate and outside time is when owner is home and weather is good ;) Edited July 22, 2010 by Nekhbet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Can you clarify...crated all day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) no if she has to pop out pup can go in crate with a chicken neck to amuse her (as not to mess rest of the house), just to make sure pup has a wee and a poo first so it's not caught short while in the crate ;) The point of her original Q to vet was how to get pup to realise the kennel is to be used when she has outside time. Vet said leave her out there tied to the kennel and that a pup that small doesnt have to be inside overnight! Kennel isnt meant to be her home just a shelter or if she wants a lie down eta crate is also where pup sleeps at night Edited July 22, 2010 by Nekhbet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Oh, I thought the woman wanted to leave the puppy outside all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hope you asked who the vet was so you can tell everyone to keep away from them. Bloody disgusting, thank goodness she had the sense to ignore that. I would not advise an 8 week old pup be left alone with a chicken neck though. They can get stuck or choke at that age especially the small breeds. My adult cat got one stuck in a back tooth & was very distressed & drooling. Only to be fed when you are home.
