Let me ask you something.When you got your dog – or when you're thinking about getting one – what did you research first?Most people google the breed. Maybe watch a few videos. Fall completely in love with a face. And then bring home an animal they weren't fully prepared for.I've seen it a thousand times in my practice. Not because people don't care – they care enormously. But because nobody ever told them what questions to actually ask. Before the breeder visit. Before the rescue application. Before that one puppy climbs into their lap and rational thinking quietly leaves the building.Here's what I want you to know: you have more power over your puppy's health than anyone has ever told you. And it starts long before you bring them home.This episode is Part 1 of our brand new puppy series – Power to the Puppy™: Building the Foundation. And it's the conversation nobody had with you. I think it might change how you think about every dog you ever bring home from this point forward.
