Adaptation & Home Arrival ...
It is one of the most important moments. The arrival of a pet at home implies a series of changes for the puppy and for the members of the family that welcomes him . It is very important in this case to maintain a series of guidelines that will help us to integrate the new member of the family successfully. The first thing is to have prepared everything you need to care for your pet. The food: It is important to maintain the same feed to avoid unnecessary illnesses to our puppy, such as gastroenteritis or irregular stools. This is why we recommend keeping the same feed with which we have been feeding it since they begin to stop feeding from the mother. In our case we use Royal Canin Starter, which is used until approximately three months, at which time we can start using Royal Canin Puppy. It is also necessary to have two bowls prepared, preferably metal for better hygiene, one for the water that we must keep clean and, if possible, mineral depending on the hardness of the water.

Feeding, Change of Feed...
When we decide to change the feed to give our pet a different one, it is very important to take into account the specific needs of each breed. For this there are specific feeds depending on the energy and nutritional needs of each type of dog. There is no problem in making this change as long as you keep in mind that the change itself should be staggered and not overnight . That is to say, we must start by mixing a small amount of the new feed with the one it takes regularly, so we will increase and decrease the new feed for the previous one at the same time. So for five or seven days. We will save unnecessary evils to our furry friend. The sudden change of feed normally leads to diseases such as gastroenteritis, which, if not treated properly, can trigger other types of conditions in our dog that can even become much more serious. In any case, we always recommend the advice of a trusted professional before taking the step.

Does size, matters...?
Some people take this aspect into account when adopting a pet. Keep in mind that not all breeds are the same and sometimes the breed is forced to be smaller than normal or acceptable. Having a small or medium-sized puppy is quite comfortable for someone who lives in an apartment or does not have enough space. CocoMartina's American Maltese, for example, have an approximate adult weight of between three and four kilos, which is a reasonable and healthy weight within the characteristics of this breed. Sometimes it happens that depending on the genetic of the animal itself, this weight can vary within reasonable margins. It is impossible to know or determine what weight an adult dog will have. The weight will not vary much within this range, but it is impossible to know for sure how a puppy will end up developing as an adult. When they are born you can more or less see if they are going to be bigger or smaller but it will not really be possible to determine the final weight. If you can help us have some guidance on their approximate weight, the fact that small breeds reach half their adult weight at three months of age , but we will always be talking about an approximate weight that can vary precisely due to genetics . particular to each animal as well as by the genetics of its predecessors. Although this does not really have much to do with it, there have been cases of small mothers and puppies that have ended up being large due to a gene from a previous generation. There has been a time when the puppy is not the size we were expecting, and yes, it has happened that a puppy has exceeded the expectations of size or weight. It is not our intention to give wrong information intentionally or in bad faith, sometimes, very rarely, it happens but it is something that, although the parents of the puppy already have a certain morphology, nature is free and acts in an unpredictable way. The important thing in the end is to have a healthy and happy pet.

About Prices
There are many factors and variables that determine the price of a pet. Breed, weight, morphology, size, character, if they are descendants of champion dogs, the price of a more common breed and more widespread throughout the Spanish geography, such as the Yorkshire is not the same as the price of a Maltese whose parents are brought direct from South Korea and they are animals of completely different qualities. Apart from the high cost of being able to bring a specimen from so far away, it is also necessary to take into account the costs of the breeder who carries out his work in the conditions that are expected and therefore acceptable. The price of a Red Poodle, for example, will vary from the price of an apricot poodle since red color is much rare and it is also a color that we can say is much more in demand at the moment. The price of a pet will depend on the type of breed, if it is purebred. Sometimes you have to be wary of prices that are too low since it is possible that it is a mestizo dog and when they are too small (40 days) it is impossible to determine if it is the breed that they are offering us, in addition to the development the animal will have. At CocoMartina, a pet never leaves before having the first or second vaccination and must also be completely independent from its mother, that is, it can feed itself on dry food. This does not happen before 60 days and that is when we can perceive the true morphological qualities of the puppy. In any case, more than the price, the important thing to bear in mind is to be aware of the great responsibility that is to adopt either to acquire a pet. They are living beings and their well-being depends entirely on us, their caregivers. From CocoMartina we advocate and promote at all times the welfare of our own pets and in general of all animals.

Should I get a dog?
​
Having a dog can be a great satisfaction for all emotional benefits they contribute, however, not everyone is willing to sacrifice time in the necessary care when having a pet to ensure their well-being. Having pets limits the person in charge of their care, and dogs are probably some of the most demanding companion animals. A dog needs to be fed, brushed and walked regularly. one hour a day, at least, every day.
Although it is true that it can be a job added to the responsibilities and chores of daily life, having a dog also means receiving faithful and unconditional love at every moment of the day. Being, for example, themaltese bichonone of the breeds that require more contact from their caregivers. It is very important to weigh the obligations that having a dog entails when it comes to having it well cared for, but it is also necessary to consider how they fill our houses with light and joy from the first moment they enter them. It is very important to think it through in spite of everything. They are living beings and depend on us.

Dogs With Pedigree,
yes or no...?
COCOMARTINA.COM
We like to maintain the health of our animals, so we do not force their morphology. Although it is true that some specimens are very small, we do not look for excessively small breeds and for this reason we maintain morphological conditions that are always favorable to the correct and healthy development of our puppies. At CocoMartina we are concerned above all and above all with the animal welfare of our pets and therefore we take ourselves very seriously and always carry out the ethical and responsible breeding of our animals.
For more information and other quesries, do not hesitate to contact us. Contact here.
A pedigree is the document where the genealogy of an animal is recorded. In the case of a dog, this supporting basis certifies that a dog belongs to a specific breed. That is, the pedigree consists of a record of the biological ancestry of the animal. The document that certifies that a dog has a pedigree is valued very positively, since it is responsible for certifying that the canine meets certain characteristics that qualify it as an animal of "blood purity". Generally, a person who has a dog as a pet does not find many benefits in this type of certificate. However, people who want their dog to participate in a canine morphology or beauty contest may be interested in having their pedigree certificate.
Is a dog's pedigree important?
Beyond the technical aspects or competitions related to dog pedigree, it is important to note that this characteristic is associated with the concept of an "ideal dog". However, this fact of being called an ideal has presented a notable evolution over time. In this regard, reference must be made to the morphology of canine breeds, which has presented a notable exaggeration in certain characteristics of the animal. The most appreciated attributes in each breed tend to be exaggerated, giving rise to future health problems in some animals in the following generations.
Therefore, one can never speak of an ideal pedigree, since the ideals of dogs are always in constant flux. It should be noted that these canons are decided by canine organizations, such as the American Kennel Club, the FCI and the Kennel Club UK. In fact, not all organizations have the same canine morphological ideals, so, in this sense, it is also possible to find an important variation and what some characterize as determinant, may not be known to others.to.

How to Protect Your Small Dog During High Summer Temperatures or Heatwaves.
Tips from CocoMartina for a Cool and Safe Summer
Summer can pose a risk to our pets, especially small dogs, who are more susceptible to heat. Protecting your dog during high temperatures or heatwaves is crucial for their well-being and health. In this article, we will provide you with practical tips on how to keep your dog cool and safe during hot summer days, helping you prevent potential heat-related health issues. Keep reading to discover how to protect your faithful canine companion!
-
Provide a Cool Environment: During hot days, it is essential to maintain a cool environment for your dog. Ensure proper airflow and consider using fans or air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature. If you don't have air conditioning, strategically place fans to keep the air circulating in the areas where your dog spends the most time.
-
Provide Fresh Water and Shade: Constant access to fresh water is crucial to keep your dog hydrated during the summer. Place multiple water bowls in different areas of your home and yard, and make sure they are always filled. Additionally, create shaded areas in your backyard or garden where your dog can rest and protect themselves from the sun. You can use umbrellas, awnings, or even build a shaded doghouse to provide a cool and safe spot outdoors.
-
Avoid Walks During the Hottest Hours: Hot pavement can burn your dog's paw pads. Therefore, avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours of the day, usually between 11 am and 4 pm. Opt for early morning or evening walks when temperatures are lower and the ground is not as hot. This will help prevent burns on your dog's paws and keep them cool during exercise.
-
Never Leave Your Dog in a Parked Car: Under no circumstances should you leave your dog inside a parked car, even for a few minutes. Even with slightly open windows, the interior of a vehicle can reach extreme temperatures within minutes, which can be fatal for your pet. It's always better to leave your dog at home in a cool and safe environment.
-
Cool Your Dog Down: Help your dog stay cool by using cooling methods. You can gently wet their body with fresh water, paying special attention to heat-prone areas such as the belly, ears, and paw pads. You can also use damp towels to gently rub their coat and lower their body temperature.
Conclusion: During the summer, it's crucial to take measures to protect your small dog from extreme heat. By providing a cool environment, ample water supply, proper shade, and avoiding walks during the hottest hours, you will ensure the safety and well-being of your furry companion. Remember that dogs cannot regulate their body temperature like humans do, so it's essential to be attentive to signs of heat exhaustion. Enjoy a cool and safe summer together!

The price of a pet: Influences and variation based on breed and characteristics
CocoMartina's tips on pet pricing
The world of pets is truly fascinating, and for many, owning a dog is an enriching life experience. However, one of the most critical aspects to consider before acquiring a dog is its price, as it can vary considerably depending on various factors. In this article, we will explore the key influences that affect dog prices, including breed, demand, and the unique characteristics of each animal.
Breed and its Impact on Price: Dog breeds play a fundamental role in price variation. Popular and recognized breeds like Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, and French Bulldogs generally have higher costs due to sustained demand. On the other hand, lesser-known or less common breeds may have lower prices, but they can be equally charming and suitable as pets.
Influence of Demand: Demand is an essential factor that affects dog prices. If a particular breed becomes popular in a specific area or among certain groups of people, its price is likely to increase due to supply and demand dynamics. Trends and fads can also influence the demand for certain breeds, leading to fluctuations in their prices over time.
Specific Dog Characteristics: Each dog is unique, and their individual characteristics can also influence their price. Desirable traits such as special fur, distinctive physical structure, or a friendly and trainable personality can raise the dog's price. On the other hand, certain factors like hereditary health issues or problematic temperaments may lower the dog's value.
Tips for Responsible Buying: It is crucial for prospective dog owners to research and educate themselves about different breeds, their specific needs, and requirements. Acquiring a dog should not solely be based on price but on compatibility with the owner's lifestyle and willingness to provide proper care.
In summary, the price of a dog can vary significantly due to factors such as breed, demand, and individual characteristics of the animal. While cost can be an important consideration, it is always essential to focus on providing a loving and suitable home for the pet. Researching, comparing, and making informed decisions will ensure a positive experience for both the adopter and the dog.

Traveling with Dogs by Plane:
CocoMartina explains how the Spanish new law of animal welfare affects.
Traveling with pets can be challenging, especially with the new regulations in Spain. Here’s what you need to know to ensure a smooth journey for you and your furry friend.
​
Pet Identification and Registration
Under the new Animal Welfare Law, it is mandatory for dogs and cats to have a microchip and be registered in the Companion Animal Registry of their autonomous community. They also need to be dewormed and vaccinated.
Don’t confuse this mandatory registration with the well-known pet DNI. Despite much discussion, identification is still done through a microchip and not a physical document.
​
Proper Transportation
When traveling, especially by car or plane,
ensure your pet is comfortable and secure.
The vehicle should have good ventilation
and enough space to avoid overcrowding.
If flying, it’s best for small pets to travel in
the cabin with you. Typically, airlines allow
pets to travel in a soft bag that fits under
the seat.
​
​
​​
​
​​​​​​​​​
Security Screening
Your dog will need to go through the security checkpoint in your arms or walking alongside you, while the rest of your items, including the soft bag, leash, and food, will go through the scanner with your other luggage.
During the Flight
Your dog must travel inside the carrier under the seat in front of you for the entire duration of the flight.
​
Traveling by Plane
Iberia and Air Europa and Vueling are among the airlines that allow pet transportation with certain restrictions:
Iberia: Pets can travel in the hold if they weigh up to 45 kilograms, while the maximum weight for pets to travel in the cabin is 8 kilograms. At CocoMartina, our dogs typically travel in the cabin as they usually weigh less than a kilogram at three to four months of age, and owners accompany them in the cabin.
Air Europa: The maximum weight for pets in the hold is 50 kilograms. In the cabin, up to five pets per passenger are allowed. It’s essential to contact the airline in advance to clarify all aspects of traveling with pets to avoid any issues.
Vueling: Allows up to two pets in the cabin, provided they are identified with a microchip, have a passport, and have been vaccinated against rabies within 21 days of the travel date.
​​
Additional Requirements for the EU
If you are traveling to an EU country, your pet will need a microchip, a rabies vaccination, and a European pet passport. Some countries, such as Ireland, Malta, Finland, and Norway, require additional treatment against certain parasites.
​
Destination Country Regulations
Before purchasing your tickets, check the regulations of the destination country and the airline. Some airlines, like Ryanair, do not allow pets on board, except for guide dogs on specific routes. Verify this information on the websites of the embassies and airlines.
​
Final Tips
Get your pet used to the carrier before the trip to reduce stress. It is also advisable to label the carrier with your contact information in case it gets lost. Always have water, food, and a place for your pet to rest during the journey.

Can My Dog Sleep With Me?
CocoMartina tells you why it is good.
Benefits of Sleeping with Your Dog. Without a doubt, physical contact is beneficial for both people and dogs. Various studies confirm that sleeping with your dog reduces stress levels and anxiety, while also providing a sense of protection and security to the caregiver. Therefore, sleeping with your dog has a calming effect and is generally beneficial.
Positive Effects for Your Dog. The same is true for our pets; dogs seek contact with their caregivers. Naturally, having your dog sleep with you helps mitigate potential stress and anxiety, just as it does for humans. Allowing them to sleep with you helps them feel calmer and more relaxed. It's an excellent way to help them combat negative emotional states.
Hygiene is Fundamental.
Always keep this in mind when sleeping with your dog to ensure the cohabitation is as safe as possible. It’s important to make sure your dog is up to date with vaccinations and completely dewormed. It’s also good to check your dog's fur for any parasites. Ideally, your dog should be examined periodically by the veterinarian. We should ensure our dog always sleeps, for example, at the lower end of the bed to avoid direct contact with the face. If you prefer, they are also happy sleeping in their own bed in our room.
Ideal Dog Breeds. There are some dog breeds that are very well-suited to our city lifestyle or limited spaces. The Maltese, Maltipoo, or Poodle are excellent choices. Being small, hypoallergenic, non-shedding, and very clean, these breeds are a great option if we want to consider their therapeutic use or simply enjoy their wonderful company when we go to sleep.

How to Refresh My Dog this summer?
Useful Tips to Keep Smaller Breeds Comfortable and Cool
The summer months can be especially harsh for our four-legged friends, particularly for small and medium-sized dogs. Breeds like Maltese are especially sensitive to high temperatures. To help your pets get through the summer comfortably, we’ve put together some essential tips.
​
1. Proper Hydration
Keeping your pet hydrated is crucial. Ensure your dog always has access to fresh, clean water. Adding ice cubes to their water bowl can help keep it cool. At CocoMartina, we recommend using stainless steel bowls. They are hygienic and keep the water cooler for longer. Another excellent option is pet water fountains, which keep the water moving and can be very appealing to your pet.
Pet water fountains are a great option to keep your dog hydrated. Click the link if you want to see them in more detail on Amazon.
2. Shelter and Shade
Providing a cool and shaded area for your dog to escape the sun is essential.
-
Cool Indoors: Keep your dog indoors during the hottest hours of the day. Use fans or air conditioning if possible.
-
Outdoor Shade: If your dog spends time outdoors, ensure they have access to shaded areas. You can use awnings, umbrellas, or even build a kennel in a cool spot.
3. Moderate Physical Activity
Exercise is important, but you need to adjust it during hot days to protect your dog:
Early or Late Walks: Take your dog for walks early in the morning or in the evening when temperatures are cooler.
Indoor Games: Opt for indoor games to keep your dog active without exposing them to extreme heat.
Dog Pools: If your dog enjoys water, a small dog pool can be an excellent way for them to cool off and get some exercise.

4. Proper Nutrition
During the hot months, you may need to adjust your dog's diet:
Feeding Schedule: Feed your dog during the coolest times of the day, such as early morning or late evening. Wet Food: Consider adding wet food to their diet, as it contains more water than dry food and can aid in hydration. Cool Treats: Offer frozen treats, like ice cubes with low-sodium chicken broth, to help keep them cool.
​
5. Coat Care
Your dog's coat plays a crucial role in regulating their body temperature:
Regular Brushing: Brush your dog regularly to remove dead fur and allow better air circulation near the skin. Haircuts: Consult a professional groomer about trimming your dog's hair, especially if they have thick fur. Avoid shaving it completely as the coat also protects against sunburn.
​
6. Signs of Heatstroke
It's vital to recognize the signs of heatstroke in dogs, which can be potentially life-threatening:
Symptoms: Excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, and collapse. Act Quickly: If you notice these symptoms, move your dog to a cool place immediately, offer them water, and contact an emergency veterinarian.
​
7. Cooling Products
There are products on the market designed specifically to keep dogs cool during hot weather:
Cooling Mats and Vests: These are designed to absorb body heat and keep your dog cool. Portable Water Bottles: Make it easy to give water to your dog when you're away from home. Cooling Toys: Toys that can be frozen and chewed to provide relief from the heat.
Helping your small to medium-sized dog such as Poodles, Maltipoos, or Bichon Frises stay cool and safe during the hot summer months requires attention and some adjustments to their daily routine. With these tips, you can ensure your dog enjoys the summer safely and comfortably. Always remember to pay attention to their behavior and well-being to act quickly if needed!
