Getting Ready for a New Family Member

Adopting a dog for the first time can be stressful and frustrating yet joyful experience. We are here to help you to ensure smooth transition for both you and your new furry friend.

When your new puppy comes home, it's essential to create a warm and welcoming environment. It is a stress for both you and your dog, so being positive and friendly is key. Shower them with love, attention, and plenty of cuddles to let them know they're now part of the family. Start introducing your puppy to their designated living space, ensuring it's cozy and secure. Here are a few things that you should consider buying before the puppy arrives:

• A comfortable and secure crate – this in long-term will help you prevent accidents during the night
• Puppy run, which will be a life saver for times when you need to focus on anything besides your pup
• 2 waterproof and washable beds, so that you can change them whenever accidents happen
• Food and water bowls
• A house leash and a long leash
• Harness and/or collar
• Puppy training pads – it is usually recommended to start potty training as early as possible
• Chew toys to keep them occupied
• Soft toys to keep things entertaining
• Puppy-safe cleaning supplies for accidents

Keep in mind, bringing a puppy into your life is a lifelong promise, and it's crucial to offer them affection, attention, and all the essentials for their well-being. By being ready and having the required items, you'll ensure a smooth start for both you and your new four-legged companion. Embrace the adventure of integrating your new puppy into your household!
