KEEP YOUR PUPPY SAFE:
One of the biggest mistakes people make when they've just got a new puppy, is they immediately take it to show it off. This is not a great idea. Its best to take your puppy straight home and do your very best to keep it there until it has adjusted to its new surroundings and new family. Don’t do anything that stresses your new puppy out. (If you have to take your puppy to a pet store, do NOT sit it down in the store or put it in the shopping cart, hold it at all times.)PLEASE !
VETERINARIAN INFORMATION:
I recommended that you take your puppy to a licensed vet after you pick it up, within 48 hours, in order to guarantee your warranty. Keep your puppy in a crate or in your lap when visiting the Vet's office. Do not let it on the floor or furniture and most certainly do not allow it to come in contact with other animals that are there at the same time. Where do all people take sick dogs? To the Vet! Where is the best place to pick up germs or contract disease? Naturally, it's where everyone takes sick dogs...to the Vet!!! We love the vet and depend on them, however so do people with sick pets. Remember your puppy has only been vaccinated with his beginning sets of shots, so he /she is not fully protected against diseases that can be picked up.

It is time to prepare your home for the arrival of your new puppy. You want your puppy's new den (your home) to be safe, welcoming and secure. Prepare your home just like you would for a baby that crawls. Remove all items and objects that are in reach and may be harmful to your puppy. Puppies are curious and love to chew; they may cause harm to themselves and your belongings.
Pet Tip: Try viewing your home through your puppy’s perspective. Get down on your hands and knees and look for any objects that are in reach that could be dangerous to your puppy's health, such as electrical cables or breakable decorations.
The "Bare Bone" Essentials You need to have the following supplies ready for your pet's arrival:
* Food & Water Dishes
* Food
*Collar
*Leash
*Puppy Bed
*Crate
*Grooming Products
*Toys
*Identification Tag
*Treats
Food and Water:
Dishes Using non-porous and easy to clean bowls such as stainless steel or ceramic will help keep bacteria from forming and your puppy from chewing their dishes. Remember to wash your puppy's dishes frequently and have fresh water available.
Food:
Talk to me about what food they are currently feeding. Ideally you want to feed the same food for a smooth transition from our home to your home. If you are unsure on how much to feed your puppy check out our feeding calculator.
Collar:
Choose a collar that is appropriate for the size and breed of your dog. Puppies grow fast, so it is recommended to check the fit of the collar regularly and adjust when needed. Test to make sure the collar won't slip over your puppies head. If you are able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your puppy you have found the perfect balance.
Leash :
It is recommended, especially early on in your puppy's life, to use a short leash when on walks. The reason for this is simply for control. If your puppy is doing something incorrectly during your walk (trying to run ahead of you or across you for example) this is easier to correct with a shorter leash. Once your puppy becomes an adult, is fully trained and you are comfortable with giving him some space, you can trade the short leash for a longer one and give them some freedom in their walks.
Puppy bed:
A pet bed provides a sense of security and comfort for your puppy. Having a designated place for your puppy's bed will help make them feel at home. Choose a bed that has a removable and washable cover that cannot easily be chewed.
CrateA crate is a great way to give your puppy their own place. Make sure the crate you buy for your puppy gives them enough room to lie down, stand up, and turn all the way around, as this will make them feel safe and secure.
*** Be sure to ask me about the bed I recommend!
Grooming Products:
Caring for your puppy means providing them with the grooming essentials that will help them stay clean and looking their best. Here are a few of the basic supplies necessary to keep up with your dogs grooming maintenance; a brush recommended for your dogs hair type, toothbrush and dog friendly toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner (depending on the breed) and nail trimmers.
Toys:
Playtime is an important time for you and your puppy to bond. Choose toys for your puppy like you would for a baby. Make sure there are no sharp edges, small parts that can be easily chewed or swallowed and contain no toxic or hazardous materials.
Identification Tag:
Always make sure your dog is wearing an identification tag with their name and your contact information on it. Get your Your Free Puppy Name Tag Today when you place your TLC dog food order.
Treats:
Show your dog the true meaning of Tender Loving Care with treats that are not only delicious, but healthy. Check the ingredient label and look for treats that are free of by-products and chemical preservatives. Treats are a critical tool for positive reinforcement training. Your puppy will be consuming a lot of treats so make sure they are healthy.
Pet Tip:
Before introducing your puppy to your backyard, make sure there are no large holes in or under fencing where your puppy could escape or get stuck.
