After getting the puppies, we read about litter mate syndrome. There is no option to re home one puppy through the breeder as he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. My children have also appeared to become incredibly attached. Appeared a reputable breeder however I think he isn’t anymore especially after finding out about litter mate. Was on the Pets4Homes website, ticks for ID verified and licensed breeder, so I thought all was okay my own fault I know. Dogs have been checked though all healthy, de flead, wormed, first vaccine, microchip, insurance and health plan etc. All was sorted on the Wednesday.
I’ve been reading about litter mate syndrome..relentlessly and mine and my husbands plan is:
– 2 crates (potentially next to each other however obstructed view so they can’t see each other)
– separate sleeping places
– separate places to eat (separate food/water bowls)
– occasionally go out for toilet together but separate regularly
– separate walks/training/socialisation/puppy classes
Is there any other advice at all that can be given by anyone please as I want to get this right for the puppies.
