B ringing your new puppy home is a very exciting time for everyone!
A lthough there are many things you will want to buy for your new baby, there are a few basic supplies that we feel are a necessity.
These include:
*2 Dishes - One for food, one for water.
*Several Toys - We recommend toys with different textures, some hard, some soft, in order to keep puppy occupied and to relieve the discomfort of teething.
A Crate - If you are planning on using one.
Dog Food - (Your puppy will come with a small complimentary supply from us to get you started). We feed and recommend Royal Canin. We highly suggest keeping him on the same food he has already been eating in order to not upset his GI system during the initial move to your home.
*Harness & Leash - Please ensure it is well fitting, comfortable and secure.
Blanket/Towel - For the trip home, in case of car sickeness.
*Nurical/Energel - A toothpaste like dietary supplement which is high in protein and sugar. This is a very good item to have on hand in case of loose stools/nausea/lack of appetite in order to prevent complications due to hypoglycemia, and we HIGHLY recommend it!
T hese are the bare necessities. There are many other things you will find that you need as well, but you will probably not need them immediately. Please keep in mind that although it is a lot of fun to shop for your new baby, and bring your new pup to the pet store with you, we generally do not recommend doing so. Pet stores are high traffic areas, and there are many different germs and parasites that your new baby will be exposed to here. Your puppy will already be stressed from leaving our home, and will probably not yet be protected from all 3 sets of puppy vaccines, leaving him/her extremely vulnerable. If you do choose to take your new pup with you, use extreme caution and do NOT let your puppy touch the floor while at the store. (The same also applies to your visit to the veterinarian!)
*W e carry a small selection of items marked with a "*". They are quality items which we recommend and are available for sale when you come to visit/pick up your new puppy. Harnesses are available as well in order to ensure a proper fit. Although we are working on accepting different payment methods in the near future, we are equipped only to accept cash at this point. If there is a specific item that you are interested in, please ask in advance as our inventory is limited!
