More pup headcanons because I love talking about pups~
Omega pups don’t grow out of things as quickly as their beta and alpha counterparts, so they tend to get teased. Betas and alphas will stop sucking on pacifiers at age 2/3 while Omegas will stop around 6/7. Omega pups are seen more innocent, but there’s nothing odd about seeing beta or alpha pups with pacifiers either!
Teething is brutal. It’s brutal for our normal babies now, but each dynamic has a different way of teething. Alpha pups will chew on a n y t h i n g. They get in trouble for chewing on wooden things not made for teething a lot. If you see slobber or marks on the leg of your wooden chair, you can pretty much assume it’s your alpha pup. Beta pups are the easiest to teeth. They enjoy little plastic things to chew on and like cold things. Omega pups are the worst. They’re uncomfortable and whiny and scared because their mouths hurt. Pup popsicles are a must for omega pups teething. They’ll chew on them for hours, the little popsicles stay colder longer. If you can distract the omega pup, that’s probably your best bet.
So we know USA customs, so the government is much more hands on with pup raising. They supply the first 3 years of diapers, a small basket crib, a little plush, and a bonus on the parents’ checks. (We have an idealistic idea of society so there’s no like issues with stuff like this). Both parents get as much time off as they need for a newborn pup, especially the birthing parent.
They make little pup relaxers that dissolve in a pup’s mouth just in case they get too anxious or scared. Parents mostly use them on long trips or plane rides, especially with omega pups. Omegas don’t like to be far from their homes, so omega pups are even worse with it. But some parents will abuse the relaxers, so your account tells the cashier how many relaxers you buy in a year. If you go on a trip every month, you’d get through one box in 3 months, so you don’t need to buy a lot of them unless you have a prescription.
Omega pups go one way or the other when going into kindergarden/preschool. They either hold on to their parent’s leg for dear life, having to be coerced with toys and cookies, or they’re in the middle of the puppy pile, making sure everyone is okay. (Beta and alpha pups can do this too it’s just less common!)
You’ll have pup pheromones until you hit around 25. You of course have your own scent as well, but there will be a faint scent of pup under your scent.
I love pups so much y’all I can’t~
