A high quality fish oil supplement can be beneficial to skin and coat health while improving mobility by supporting stiff, aching joints. Just like all supplements make sure you buy high quality. Nordic Naturals is a very well regarded brand and available on Amazon. 

Avmaquin is an added supplement which protects dogs from free radicals. Free radical can damage DNA, protein and lipids. This supplement keeps the immune system strong and regulate cellular dysfunction such as cancer. We highly recommend the supplement in your older dog. 

We recommend all our puppies get transitioned over to Tri Cran C supplement. Vitamin C supplement is important for immune health and also help keep their feet from being splayed.  Cranberry also helps genitourinary development in both males and females puppies and also prevent urinary tract infections. Female puppies can be prone to infections prior to their first heat cycle. Prevention is key. 

Lick fits happen! Swissies can be prone to GI upset and often manifested with lick fits. These can be problematic and a potential precursor to bloat. Gas X should always be on hand to help alleviate GI upset. 

Puppies should always have  access to water even in their crate. We advise a water bucket clipped to their crate and you might want to invest in a larger water bucket for out of the crate use. 

A crate for your puppy is a must. We generally recommend a 42 or 48 wire crate. Females are generally comfortable in a 42 inch crate, while some of the larger males are more comfortable in a 48 inch wire crate.
