Shopping List For When You Bring Your Puppy Home!
- Purina Pro Plan Savor or Focus Puppy Chicken & Rice Dry Food (available at any pet store, Amazon or Chewy.com)
- NuVet Plus Wafers (you can order these on www.nuvet.com/42901 or at 800-474-7044 and using code 42901)
- Food and Water Bowls
- Brush or comb (we like the metal soft bristle brushes and steel combs)
- Puppy Shampoo (we recommend a soap free puppy shampoo)
- Cheerios or natural puppy treats
- Chew toys (Tug ropes are great)
- Balls for Playing Fetch (nothing smaller than a tennis ball)
- A Crate. One with a Divider will grow with your puppy (approximately 30x21x24 will work well for them even as an adult)
- Washable Bedding for the Crate
- A Stuffed Animal (or 2 or 3) for Inside the Crate. (Helps the puppies sleep better the first few nights)
- A Leash and Collar. A Collar that will go as small as 9″ and expands usually works for the puppies. If you live in a more urban area or will walk where there is traffic, we recommend a harness which will give you better control.
- If you’re picking up your puppy, bring along a bowl and a bottle of water. We recommend that you don’t stop at rest parks on your way home.
- Until your puppy has had all of its puppy shots, we don’t recommend you go where many other animals go that may not be vaccinated.
