The OZH Method
Why should I get a puppy from Ozark Hills is a great question. There are several reasons you should consider one of our puppies for your next family member, but the main one I want to tell you about is the excellent care our puppies receive before they make it into your arms.
· Nutrition - We start them off right, even before they are born. Nutrition is very important for healthy development, and as soon as mom is bred, we start her on an excellent prenatal vitamin from revival animal health which she takes all the way through her pregnancy and nursing time. Puppy nutrition is also vital right from the beginning, and we start them off with nuture mate as soon as they are born, which gives them a little boost to help them thrive and nurse stronger. They are weighed at birth and monitored throughout to make sure they are thriving and if anyone is getting behind we will supplement with formula or extra vitamins to help them stay up with the rest of the litter.
· Mental Stimulation -On day three we start ENS (early neurological stimulation), a program developed by the military for early canine mental development. We believe this is very helpful and have seen a significant increase in the speed of basic cognition in the puppies since we have started ENS training. I plan on writing another article about this one soon. We also include positive contact with human hands right from the beginning so they learn right away to love human touch. We also try to expose them to various noises, like dishes and vacuums so they won’t be spooked by those when they get to your busy home.
· Highest quality Health Protocols - Our vaccination and parasite protocols are very robust using the best in vaccination technology available. We clean the kennel with Oxidine, a very strong but remarkably safe sanitizer. We then start them on Pyrantel, right away, then switch them to safeguard to avoid any parasitical problems. They also receive toltrazuril every ten days to avoid stomach bugs like giardia. Your puppy will have received an Intratrac nasal or oral dose for adenovirus and kennel cough at five weeks. They will then receive two doses each of neo par and neo DA2. Neotech vaccines provide the strongest protection and highest titer count possible when the puppies are exposed to the big wide world. Other vaccines will take another two to four weeks or more to reach a full titer count which is the level of resistance in the body.
· Puppy and Family Support - Just because the puppies leave doesn’t mean we are done. We are easily accessible and provide full support after adoption.
· Other reasons to adopt from OZH - We are not a commercial mill operation. The dogs are also our friends and family members. We only produce one or two litters a year so they get our full attention and so do you. We are available and accessible, you can come right to our house.
· VERY happy families – please read our reviews linked here on the website
· Full health warranty – One year coverage for any genetic health problem
· Vet Examination – We have a long relationship with Mineral Area Veterinary clinic and they check out every puppy that leaves our property and provide a health certificate for travel.
· AKC registration – your dog will come with prepaid full AKC registration. The puppy is yours and we don’t try to maintain control of your dog after it leaves our family and becomes part of yours.
