Starting life with a toy or teacup pup comes with its own set of joys and a few important responsibilities. That’s why we’ve put together a helpful care guide to walk you through everything you need to know, from what food we recommend (Royal Canin for Extra Small Puppies and Starter formulas) to best practices for potty training, grooming, and safety at home.
Each Star Catcher puppy goes home with a $250+ starter bundle including vet records, vaccines, food samples, and essentials to ease their adjustment. Since these tiny breeds are sensitive and full of energy, we emphasize structure, gentle handling, and a safe environment. We’ll equip you with tips to build a strong bond, create healthy routines, and avoid common hazards, so your pup gets the very best start.
Your pup will come with a health certificate, vaccinations, deworming, and a starter kit packed with food, treats, and helpful items, over $250 in added value.
Create a quiet, secure area for rest, puppy-proof cords and small objects, and introduce new people or pets gradually. These tiny pups thrive in calm, predictable environments.
They have bursts of energy but don’t require long walks. Short play sessions and indoor enrichment are usually plenty—just watch for signs of overtiredness.
Never give your dog chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, or anything containing xylitol. These are toxic to dogs and especially dangerous for small breeds.
Even though your puppy comes with a health certificate, it’s a good idea to check in with your vet within 72 hours of pickup to establish care and go over wellness plans.
