Akita pups should receive good quality puppy food with meat as the number one ingredient and few preservatives, early socialization and obedience training, puppy shot vaccinations through the local veterinarian, playtime, human contact, and potty training.

Just like any normal puppy, Akita pup needs lots of care, attention and love. Being separated from its mother, naturally it needs time to get adjusted to the new owner,surrounding and environment. Give it some time and lots of tender loving care, it will return the same favor too!

An Akita puppy sheds a lot, would need to be bathed quite often. They are very easy to train and kind with other people. Crate-training them is easiest.

Akita puppies as well as all puppies need proper socialization skills to keep them from becoming aggressive or dominant over other animals. Treat them firmly but kindly.

The Akita needs to start at a young age to be housebroken. Start training him with basic commands now. Allow him to be around other pets and young children immediately.

The puppy will need a soft dog bed, some toys to chew on, and puppy food that is soft for his teeth. Regular dog food is usually too big for puppies to break down. The puppy will be teething for quite some time so chew toys are needed.
