Early Neurological Stimulation
From day 3-16 healthy, stress free puppies are provided Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), also known as the "Super Dog Program". By providing small stresses we can help to "jump start" a puppy's neurological system.
​
Benefits of ENS:
-
stronger heartbeat and heart rate
-
greater resistance to stress
-
stronger adrenal system
-
stronger immune system
-
greater endurance
​
By using the ENS protocol, you can change the puppy for the rest of it's life!

The Whelping Box
Everything in the Puppy Room has systematically been chosen to help the puppies develop and thrive. The puppy box (or whelping box) is lined with either VetBed or Steri-Lon fleece which keeps pups warm and clean. It also has a long-term benefit in that it provides excellent traction for the pups, which helps them develop strong muscles and reduces the risk of later-in-life orthopedic problems like hip dysplasia.

Temperature
Since young puppies cannot regulate their body temperature, it is imperative that we keep the temperature stable in the whelping box. A digital thermometer is kept in the box with the preferred temperature being 70-72 degrees. Cold pups do not nurse well, nor do they nurse well if they are too hot.
