When you adopt a puppy, it is extremely important to understand the health of the parents and the quality of care your puppy received before coming into your home. At Takoda Dogs, we hold ourselves to the highest standards. Every dog in our breeding program must pass thorough a health examination.
Our dogs enjoy plenty of exercise in safe, open spaces and are fed only high-quality nutrition. We also provide new families with detailed feeding recommendations to help prevent digestive upset and support healthy, steady growth.
Another topic of importance for new puppy owners is the timing of spaying or neutering. Recent professional veterinary journals have discussed the potential effects of early versus delayed neutering. One notable study from the University of California, Davis (UCD) School of Veterinary Medicine—authored by Benjamin L. Hart, Thomas B. Farver, Anita M. Oberbauer, Locksley L. McV. Messam, Neil Willits, and Lynette A. Hart—examines these concerns in depth.
