Frequently Asked Questions – Vickys Toy Puppies

What types of puppies does Vickys Toy Puppies offer?

Vickys Toy Puppies specializes in small companion “toy” breed puppies. These puppies are typically bred for their affectionate personalities, manageable size, and suitability for indoor family living. Availability depends on current and upcoming litters, so selection may change throughout the year.

How do I start the process of getting a puppy?

The process usually begins by reaching out to inquire about available puppies or upcoming litters. Once you find a puppy that fits your preferences, you’ll be guided through the reservation process. Most families place a deposit to hold their selected puppy until it is ready to go home.

Is there a waitlist for puppies?

Yes, many families join a waitlist when looking for specific traits such as breed type, size, or coloring. Being on a waitlist allows you to be notified when new puppies are born or become available. Wait times vary depending on litter schedules and demand.

What is included when I purchase a puppy?

Puppies typically go home with essential care information and health documentation. This often includes vaccination records appropriate for their age and notes on early care. Some puppies may also go home with starter items to help ease the transition into their new environment.

Are the puppies examined by a veterinarian?

Yes, puppies are generally evaluated for health before going to their new homes. This includes routine wellness checks, early vaccinations, and deworming as appropriate for their age. Health records are provided so new owners can continue veterinary care seamlessly.

When can I take my puppy home?

Puppies are usually ready to go to their new homes around 8 to 12 weeks of age. This allows time for early development, socialization with littermates, and basic veterinary care. The exact timing may vary depending on the puppy’s readiness.

How do pickup or delivery arrangements work?

Once your puppy is ready, pickup is typically arranged directly with the breeder. In some cases, delivery or transport options may be available depending on location and scheduling. Details are discussed during the adoption process to ensure a smooth transition.

Are vaccinations and deworming included?

Yes, puppies are generally given age-appropriate vaccinations and routine deworming before going to their new homes. New owners receive records so their veterinarian can continue the proper care schedule without interruption.

What should I expect during the first few days at home?

The first few days are an adjustment period as your puppy gets used to a new environment. It is normal for puppies to need time to adapt to new routines, people, and surroundings. Consistent feeding, potty training, and calm interaction help the transition go smoothly.

Can I choose my puppy in advance?

In many cases, families are able to select their puppy from available litters. Some selection may be based on deposits, waitlist order, or breeder guidance depending on the timing and litter size. Photos or updates may be shared to help with the decision.

Do you offer guidance after I bring my puppy home?
