Bringing Your Puppy Home

  There are so many things to remember when you are adding a new puppy to your family, so we've put together a checklist of things you will want to pick up before bringing your puppy home.

Crate (If you're not familiar with crate training, please research this option or ask us about it. In our opinion, this is the best thing you can do for your dog)
Food Bowl
Water Bowl
Toys (and more toys!)
Radio (to leave on all the time while puppy adjusts to new surroundings)
Dog Food
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Dog Bed
Leash 
Halter (We recommend halters over collars. They are safer and more comfortable for your pet.)
Puppy pads or newspaper (If desired, this can be used in correlation with outdoor potty training.)

Here are the items to bring along when you come to pick up your new puppy:

Crate
Towels
Water Bowl (if traveling for longer than 2 hours)

And don't forget to visit your vet within a few days of bringing your puppy home!

We wish you and your puppy the best as you adjust! 
Please call us if you have questions. We are happy to help!
