Winnie Care Instructions 🐾🥹

Everything you need to know to keep the queen of the West Side happy, fed, and pottied.

Most Important

🚨Potty Rules

  • If she gets bitey, she probably has to go to the bathroom
  • If she keeps walking to the front door, she probably has to go to the bathroom
  • Take her directly to one of the dirt patches across the street and tell her to “Go Potty”
    • Say YES & give her a BIG treat after she pees or poops — and give her LOTS of praise
  • Wipe her paws and tail with the green wipes after she comes inside
  • Wipe her booty with the purple wipes if she poops

🦴Treats & Toys

  • Treats are in the top middle dresser drawer
  • Toys live on top of her crate
  • She LOVES a bully stick — give it to her in the pink holder
  • Frozen knee caps are in the freezer

🦮Walks

  • Black harness and pink leash
  • Hook the leash to the front of the harness
  • The teal pouch by the leash has treats in it
  • Poop bags are in the mint container on the leash (extras are under the island)

🥣Feeding Schedule

  • Use the blue slow feeder — give her her food in her crate
  • 1 cup of kibble (basically a full cup of the stainless steel wine glass on top of her food bag)
  • 1/4 cup of Maev on top (frozen food)
🍳 Breakfast: between 7am and 8am — be ready to take her out ASAP after
🌙 Dinner: between 4pm and 5pm — long walk after dinner (she may not poop yet, so you may have to go back out about an hour later)
