Ultimate Puppy Care in NYC

 

Start your puppy off on the right pa(w)th!

The first couple months of a dog’s life play a critical role in determining the sort of dog he or she becomes. Puppies need constant stimulation and care to become comfortable with other dogs, people, and new environments. A typical workday is too long a period to keep a puppy enclosed without any attention. Puppies that don’t get to socialize often, run the risk of becoming shy, skittish, or aggressive later in life.

Happy Pants Puppy Care in Manhattan, NYC gives your new best friend the type of close attention he or she needs and deserves. Our well-trained team member comes to your home and lets your puppy actively explore and adjust to its new world.

We See To The Following Under Our Puppy Care Services:


  • First and foremost, your puppy’s safety. We make sure that your puppy is never put in harms way,
    including not letting them put anything in their mouth they shouldn’t.
  • Take your puppy outside so it can relieve itself. We help curb-train your puppy and reinforce basic training.
  • Go for a walk and an adventure in the world’s best playground – New York City.
  • Your puppy is active and expends energy. Can give him or her a little jog if appropriate.
