So Your going to be picking up your new puppy soon, its very exciting to buy all the little bits and bobs, I'm buying little thing at the moment because I will hopefully be getting my own puppy mid to late July (I'M SO EXCITED),
Do you feel you might not have everything that you will need? well here's a list of all the basics and some extra's.
- Dog Food and Water Bowl
- Dog Food wet or dry (Most breeders provide some puppy food so your pup does not get an upset tummy as a sudden change can do this.
- Adjustable Collar
- Lead
- Soft groom brush (no slicker brush at first as puppy skin is very sensitive)
- Crate (If you choose to crate train)
- Soft bed (something for the dog to lie on when not in the crate)
- Blankets (great for the crate or in the car, also yo may get one from the breeder with mums scent on)
- Doggy seat belt (some people use crates or just have their dogs in the boot, just depends)
- Newspaper! great for toilet training, easy to recycle. I find them better than puppy pads as they have pheromones on them which don't help when moving from indoors to out doors. I MAY DO A SEPARATE POST ON THIS.
- Toys, Teeth toys, soft toys, balls, and indestructible ones when you are out. don't have them all out at the same time as they can get board.
- Kong, this will be your best friend, and will give your puppy a good association when being left for a small amount of time)
- Doggy Shampoo, when your puppy has a muddy walk etc.
- Towels for drying (Obvious)
- Poo Bags, no explanation need haha
There are loads of other items you can get for your puppy, coats etc, but these are the basics of what you will need. I may make a PDF and make this least a bit more funky, or if anyone would like one, leave a comment and I will make you a check list FREE OF CHARGE!
I hope you enjoyed this post, I haven't actually posted in a while, work has just been busy also, car trouble so I have been getting a new one sorted out, which is now all sorted.
speak soon
