When bringing a new puppy home, it’s very important to continue feeding the same food the breeder has been using. This helps ease the transition into a new home and prevents stomach upset during an already big adjustment.

If you decide to switch to a different kibble later on, do so gradually over several days or even weeks by mixing the new food in with the old, slowly increasing the amount until the transition is complete.

​

In our program, all puppies go home eating Blue Buffalo Puppy Feed. Starting with the same diet ensures a smooth transition and a healthy start.

A strong digestive system is the key to a strong, healthy puppy. That’s why prebiotics and probiotics are so important during the early stages of life.

• Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria that help balance the gut, improve digestion, and support nutrient absorption.

• Prebiotics act as “food” for those good bacteria, helping them thrive and do their job effectively.
  Together, they create a healthier gut environment, which leads to better immunity, fewer tummy upsets, and a puppy that feels and grows at their best.

We’ve trusted MaxiFlora for years as our go-to probiotic supplement. It’s gentle enough for puppies yet powerful enough to provide consistent results. By starting puppies early, we help them develop a balanced digestive system that supports long-term health and resilience.

When bringing a new puppy home, it’s a good idea to keep plain pumpkin purée on hand. Puppies often experience loose stools during transitions—whether from the stress of a new environment, diet changes, or travel. Adding just a tablespoon of plain pumpkin purée can help firm up stools naturally and gently.

A few important notes:

• Always use plain pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling, which contains sugars and spices that can be harmful to dogs).

• You can make your own by cooking and processing fresh pumpkins when in season, or simply pick up a can from your local grocery store.

• For convenience, here is a trusted source we recommend! 

Pumpkin purée is a simple, safe, and effective way to support your puppy’s digestion during the big transition into their new home.

  Fish oil is one of the most valuable supplements you can add to your dog’s diet, especially during puppyhood. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids like DHA, it supports healthy brain and eye development in growing puppies and helps improve trainability and focus. For both puppies and adult dogs, fish oil promotes a glossy, soft coat and soothes dry or itchy skin, which is particularly helpful for breeds prone to seasonal shedding such as German Shepherds. Its anti-inflammatory properties benefit joint health and mobility, making it a smart choice for large breeds that are more susceptible to joint issues as they age. In addition, fish oil helps strengthen the immune system and supports heart and kidney health. For best results, always use a high-quality fish oil formulated for pets, follow the dosage recommended by your veterinarian, and store it properly to maintain freshness.

At Vom Geliebten Haus, we believe that a puppy’s first space should feel open, safe, and part of the family.
That’s why we use a pen instead of a crate:

More spacious & comfortable – your pup can stretch, play, and rest naturally.
Feels included in the family – no closed box, they can see everyone and stay connected.
Better for German Shepherd ears! 
Open-top pens let young GSDs move freely without bending or pressing their ears against low crate ceilings during those important ear-perking months.

Here’s the pen we’re currently using (and absolutely loving!)
