Domestic Dog Puppy
Canis lupus familiaris (puppy)
Domestic dog puppies live close to people in homes, farms, and settlements, relying on care while they learn to explore their surroundings. They are playful, social juveniles that wrestle, nip, chase, and practice signals used later in adult interactions. Their diet shifts from milk to soft and then solid food, with meat-rich foods especially important for growth. A notable fact is that early socialization during puppyhood strongly shapes confidence and behavior for the rest of life.
