Is it bad to always carry my puppy or put him on my lap? Does it hinder his bone development? He's a JackRussel x Maltese puppy and is 15 weeks old.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This should be fine. However, I would encourage you to make sure that Tony is able to get enough exercise outside by walking him throughout the day. Good luck and have a great day!
