VinnyGuide
A daily puppy care plan
One focused mission beats a guilt list. Vinny builds today from breed energy, age, and what you logged yesterday.
What belongs on today
- Meals — four a day when they are tiny, stepping down with age.
- Potty — interval from age, then from your log. How we time outs.
- Movement — about five minutes per month of age per outing for growing joints, scaled by breed. A Border Collie and a French Bulldog should not share a mileage goal.
- One training session — three to five minutes. Sit, crate, settle, name.
- Rest — overtired puppies look like “naughty” puppies.
Why generic PDFs fail
They do not know this dog’s breed pack, last accident, or that you are in prep mode for three more weeks. Vinny does. Open it in the morning; the plan is already named.
First week vs month three
Week one is a small world. Month three adds slightly longer outings and more novelty, still graded. Breed pages spell out adult walk targets so you do not borrow a husky plan for a pug.
FAQ
What is a puppy care plan?
Meals, potty, a walk or sniffy outing sized for growing joints, a short training session, and rest — with a reason for each. Generic calendars ignore breed energy and what happened yesterday.
Does Vinny change the plan as they grow?
Yes. Cadence follows age, breed energy, and your logs. An eight-week toy breed and a five-month herding pup should not share a schedule.
