MY TOP PUPPY SUGGESTIONS

Baby Proofing : Just like you would baby proof your home for a toddler, so should you for your new puppy. Anything on the floor is fair game! Puppy's like to chew. Please make sure all electric cords are not where puppies can get to them. If they can reach it, they will get into it. If they can chew on it, they will!

Make a Plan: Since things can be pretty chaotic and exciting when you bring your puppy home, decide beforehand when your puppy will eat, where he will potty and where he will sleep. This will alleviate confusion as you will already know what the plans are for your puppy. If you have children, make sure they know the plan as well.

Contact your vet: Go ahead and contact your vet or find one to take your puppy to. Make an appointment to take your puppy in for his well baby check within 3 days of bringing him home as per the requirement in your contract.

Order NuVet: This is a product I firmly believe in and all my dogs and puppies are on this immune boosting supplement. Please order this product before your puppy comes home. As you can imagine, going to a new place without your mommy or siblings can be stressful. When you are stressed, your immune system is compromised.

Housing
It is very important to have an exercise pen and/or crate with a bed to safely contain your puppy when your not home or otherwise occupied. Make sure your puppy always has access to fresh water. I don't recommend letting your puppy have free range in your home but please don't expect a puppy to be in a crate for more than a few hours at a time.

Basics
Don't forget to have a collar, leash and identification tag for your new little one. A gentle puppy shampoo, brush and nail trimmers are must haves as well. I do suggest buying heavy duty food and water bowls that cannot be easily turned over and spilled.
