Quality Nutrition: We strongly suggest continuing the high-quality, digestible nutrition your puppy is already used to. If you choose to switch brands, please do so gradually over 7–10 days. Ensure your chosen food is high-quality and free from cheap fillers like corn, wheat, or soy. 

Training Treats: Use high-quality, healthy treats. Australian Shepherds are highly motivated by praise. 

First 24 Hours: If your puppy is too excited to eat the first meal, don't worry. However, they should be drinking water shortly after arrival. If your puppy refuses to drink within a few hours or refuses food for more than 24 hours, call us immediately at 608-963-8708. We are concerned with our puppies' well-being long after they leave our care.
