Curious Things about Puppies
You may notice your puppy make unusual sounds or movements during their sleep. This is called "activated sleep." It occurs because your puppy is dreaming and trying to
participate in the dream. This behavior lasts a few months during puppyhood but rarely continues into adulthood.
You may also notice the your puppy has "puppy breath." There is a characteristic smell about a puppy's breath. It is not particularly offensive or desirable. It is much like the smell of a
new car. It is present a few weeks then disappears.
Puppies may also have episodes of hiccups. They may occur for 10-20 minutes at a time then disappear. The cause of hiccups are probably related to the swallowing of air when
eating and do not produce any significant distress to your dog. They will stop as your puppy gets a little older.
