Hi there! It's completely normal to feel concerned when there's a new puppy in the picture. Puppies are like tiny explorers, curious and sometimes prone to getting into mischief. I’m here to help you figure out what might be worrying you.
If the puppy’s behavior, appetite, or energy levels seem off, there could be several benign causes. Puppies can experience tummy troubles from things like dietary changes or eating something unusual. They’re also more susceptible to stress from changes in their environment.
In these cases, keeping the puppy's environment calm and consistent can be helpful. Ensure they're eating high-quality puppy food and have access to fresh water. Small, regular meals can prevent an upset stomach.
However, there are signs that require immediate attention: lethargy, persistent diarrhea or vomiting, trouble breathing, or any signs of pain such as whining or reluctance to move. These could indicate a more serious problem needing prompt veterinary care.
To get personalized advice or peace of mind, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. A professional can review the puppy’s specific symptoms and guide you on the best next steps. We're here to support both you and your friend's newest family member!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
