Hi
We have just bought a King Charles Cavalier (Bitch 8 weeks old) .We are trying to start as we mean to go on .And we have chose to have her in the Conservatory (heated) at night ,but she was whimpering last night and i gave in and took her up to the bedroom but we really dont want to do this .Any ideas on how to make her more comfortable and stop her missing her companions and for us to get a decent nights sleep .p.s this was the first night for her by the way so do we have to persevere and ignore the whimpering ?????.
P.s we are feeding her on Just IAMS puppy food 3 times a day and the amount it says for a 2kilo dog will this be o.k ??.
And we are using those puppy pads for toilet training anything bad about them ??? .

I am afraid you have to perservere to overcome the whimpering. Is her bed or crate nice a snug, a little puppy likes to snuggle up to something, preferably something that smells of you, I used to put my towelling dressing gown in puppies bed for her snuggle up to, but an old jumper would do. If she is in a crate, try covering it over with a sheet, it makes them feel more secure without the sides exposed, just leave to door exposed.

Did the breeder give you a diet sheet, usually things like scrambled egg or weetabix are included and at eight weeks it is usually four small meals a day. I have never fed Iams, but I would think about half a mug at each meal would be about right.

Can't comment on the puppy pads but I am sure they are fine.

Don't worry too much, enjoy her.

Good Luck
