Getting a new puppy is the dream for many dog lovers, but amid all the excitement, it’s important to be prepared. As an owner, you want to give the adorable furball the best impression and make the puppy feel safe and loved. Do you need a checklist? Great, because here’s a short but helpful list!
Dog Bowl
It’s easy to get caught up in puppy snuggles, but providing food and water is essential. Dog bowls come in a variety of sizes depending on the breed, and if your puppy is messy, don’t forget a suitable mat under the bowl.
Puppy toys
Who doesn’t have a delicious treat? Well, here is something to consider. The treat has to be suitable for puppies, meaning the treat has to be small and easy to chew. We recommend lean meats like chicken and turkey, and why not these tasty puppy treats?
Sleeping bed
A puppy sleeps about 12 to 14 hours daily, so it’s important to create a comfortable and safe environment. Puppies often feel lonely in their first weeks without their mom and siblings, so a cozy space can work as a great way to make them feel at home. Choose from a variety of sleeping beds that suit your new best friend.
Make the home puppy safe.
As mentioned, puppies’ first time being taken from a kennel can be challenging, so what is the best way to make them feel safe and loved? Well, there are many ways, and one of the most effective is physical touch and comfort. Try to keep the puppy occupied with fun games and help them come to terms with their new situation.
When to start training
We all want a happy and well-trained dog, right? The puppy years are a golden opportunity to ingrain behavioral patterns that remain forever. So when can you start? Pups are like sponges; a great advice is to get your puppy off the lead as soon as possible. Puppies without leads are likelier to stay close to their owners later in life. So let’s start training!
