The Curious Puppy
A Health Care Journal for Puppies • Veterinarian-Developed, Based on International Guidelines • Easy to Fill In • Helps Your Vet Catch Problems Early
Start as you mean to go on: from the very first weeks, The Curious Puppy puts everything in your hands to become an active partner in your dog's healthcare — for a whole life together.
The idea behind The Curious Puppy comes from clinical practice: every assessment starts with observation. What you notice at home is often missing at the appointment, simply because no one wrote it down. This journal keeps that record.
In the first months, everything changes fast. A puppy grows week by week, loses its milk teeth, meets the world and learns what is safe. On its own, each small change is easy to forget. Noted regularly, they show you what is normal for this puppy — and what needs a closer look.
The journal was created by a practising veterinarian and follows recognised international guidelines (AAHA and WSAVA). At the first appointments you bring more than impressions: you bring notes from the weeks before. That makes early development easier to place in context, and anything unusual easier to catch sooner.
Inside
- Weekly entries for growth, feeding, teething, socialisation, sleep and more
- A growth curve and a tooth chart
- Vaccination records, a medication overview and vet-visit preparation
- Monthly reviews and space for your own notes
The Curious Puppy covers the first six months, from week eight. Six months marks a natural milestone — the milk teeth are gone, the puppy vaccination series is complete, and the socialisation window has closed. That is where puppyhood ends and the adolescent stage begins. It is part of the House of Tails Care Journals, which follow every life stage. A companion volume for six to twelve months is coming soon.
The approach behind it, the Veterinary Mindset, is set out in full in the book of the same name — currently available in German, with an English edition coming soon.
The best moment to begin is now.
By T. Abend, veterinarian. A companion to veterinary care, not a replacement.
