Guides
Puppy care guides for today
Short pages for the week you just brought them home. Read one, then open Vinny — the plan is named for this puppy, not a generic PDF.
First week with a puppy
What to actually do the first week: potty cadence, short sessions, a small world — not a 12-item checklist.
Puppy potty training
A schedule from age, outdoor pay, enzymatic cleanup, and a log that teaches the next-out timer.
Daily puppy care plan
Meals, potty, a joint-safe outing, a five-minute session, and rest — named for this dog.
Crate training a puppy
Make the crate a home base, not a timeout. Short sessions, potty first, never punishment.
Puppy biting and nipping
Most mouthing is an overtired puppy. Redirect, end the session, then rest — not a lecture.
First night with a puppy
A small sleep setup, a crate or pen nearby, and one potty out — not a perfect night.
Puppy feeding schedule
Four meals when they are tiny, then three, then two. Vinny names today’s meals for this age.
How much exercise a puppy needs
About five minutes per month of age per outing, scaled by breed. Growing joints first.
Puppy socialization without flooding
Grade new people, dogs, and surfaces. A chaotic dog park is not a syllabus.
FAQ
What puppy care guides does Vinny publish?
Short pages on the first week, potty, crate, biting, feeding, exercise, socialization, and a daily plan. Each one ends in a named Today plan for this dog — not a 40-page PDF.
Are these guides a replacement for a vet?
No. Vinny is not a veterinarian. Collapse, trouble breathing, a bite that breaks skin, or panic that does not settle — see a professional. We do not hedge that gate.
How is a Vinny guide different from a blog post?
The guide is the why. The product is today’s list for this puppy’s age and breed. Open Vinny after you read — the plan is already named.
