Frequently Asked Questions

How do I socialize my Japanese Spitz puppy?

Socialization is crucial for Japanese Spitz puppies to develop into well-adjusted adults. Expose them to various people, animals, environments, and experiences in a positive and controlled manner from an early age to help them become confident and friendly dogs.

What type of diet is best for Japanese Spitz dogs?

A balanced diet consisting of high-quality dog food, lean proteins, vegetables, and fruits is ideal for Japanese Spitz dogs. Avoid overfeeding and monitor their weight to prevent obesity, which can lead to health issues.
