Pepper’s Puppies: Four Weeks Old and Full of Adventure!

It’s hard to believe that Pepper’s puppies are already four weeks old! In just a short amount of time, they’ve gone from tiny, sleepy newborns to curious, wiggly explorers with big personalities beginning to shine.

At this stage in their development, these pups are hitting some exciting milestones. One of the biggest changes? They’re now eating softened kibble! While they’re still nursing occasionally, this transition marks the beginning of their weaning journey and helps them grow strong and healthy.

They’ve also started to explore everywhere. Once content to stay snuggled up in their cozy whelping box, the puppies have recently discovered that they can climb and tumble their way out—a clear sign that it’s time to give them a bit more room to roam. So, they’ve officially graduated to their next big adventure: the extended play yard!

This upgraded space includes three key areas:

• A soft bedding area inside an open kennel, which gently introduces them to the idea of sleeping in a kennel.

• A play area where they can stretch their legs, wrestle with siblings, and satisfy their growing curiosity.

• A designated potty zone outside of the kennel, helping them learn that there’s a right place to go.

Why does this setup matter? Because it lays the foundation for successful potty training down the road. When puppies learn early on that their sleeping and eating spaces are separate from their potty area, they begin to develop the awareness and habits that will help them as they grow. It teaches them that pottying isn’t just something you do whenever the mood strikes—it should happen in a certain spot.

We’re so proud of how far these little ones have come in just four short weeks. The next few weeks will bring even more growth, learning, and fun—and we’ll be right here to cheer them on (and clean up the occasional mess)!

Stay tuned for more updates from Pepper’s playful pack—we can’t wait to share what they’re up to next!
