Why Young Puppies Thrive with Funky Bunch Pet Care

Bringing a new puppy into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience. However, young puppies require specialized care, training, and structure to ensure they grow into well-adjusted, happy dogs. While daycare may seem like a convenient option, it can often be too overwhelming for puppies, leading to stress and poor social habits. That’s where Funky Bunch Pet Care comes in—offering one-on-one enrichment visits designed specifically for young puppies.

Why Traditional Daycare May Not Be the Best Fit for Puppies

Daycare facilities are often filled with high-energy adult dogs, which can be too much for a young puppy to handle. Here’s why daycare might not be the best choice:

✔ Overwhelming Socialization – Puppies need gradual, positive socialization—not chaotic, high-energy play that can be intimidating or overstimulating.

✔ Increased Risk of Illness – Puppies have developing immune systems, making them more vulnerable to kennel cough, parasites, and other daycare-related illnesses.

✔ Unstructured Environment – A lack of controlled, structured interactions can lead to poor social skills and bad habits like rough play, jumping, or excessive barking.

✔ Too Much, Too Soon – Puppies need regular breaks and rest periods. Overexertion at daycare can cause exhaustion and stress, hindering their development.
