Taking care of a puppy seems easy at first and for the most part it is. You will need certain essential things for a puppy however like puppy food. Many people try to give their puppy dog food, which is not designed with extra vitamins that puppies need and this can cause malnutrition in puppies. Another thing to be very careful of is not giving puppies table scraps and especially any kind of milk or candy (which could kill the animal because they cannot digest them). Puppies require alot of supervision and will need to be potty trained at some point.
