What Your New Puppy Needs

• Adjustable Collar or Harness– they grow FAST and a small adjustable collar will expand with them for several months. Collar should be about 10″ at its smallest and expand to about 15″ – this will take them through about 6 or 7 months. We also highly recommend a harness for the first few months as it’s very easy for them to slip their collars off when they are small.
• Name Tag – Your local Pet Store have machines where you can engrave your pet’s name and more importantly your contact information. This is a simple precaution that will give you peace of mind.
• 6 Foot Leash
• Food and Water bowls
• Food Storage Bin – you will find that you’re buying large 25 pound bags of food – a good plastic storage bin will keep the food fresh and convenient.
• Good Quality Puppy Food – We currently use Diamond Natural Small Breed puppy food.
• Crate
• 4-5 Inexpensive Bath Towels (put these in their crate, and just throw them in the laundry when they get soiled)
• Several Types of Toys – recommend stuffed animal, ball, squeak toy, and rope toy. Your puppy needs stimulation and is used to playing with their litter mates. Toys will help.
• Chew Treats – Always have on hand something for your puppy to chew on, such as bully sticks – if and when your puppy chews on something they shouldn’t, immediately exchange the item for one of these and tell them “NO – Chew on this instead!”.
• Training Treats
• Nuvet Multivitamin Supplement – We extend our Health Guarantee to 3 years when given! Check out the info page on the drop menu from this page — Nuvet.com and use order code 17630 at check out to receive extended Health Guarantee! —
