Shopping List for Bringing Your Puppy Home

Things to Buy:

• Nature’s Miracle works best for cleaning up puppy messes.
• Dog treats-Charlee Bear, Bil Jac, or broken up pieces of Milk Bone doggie biscuits. You may also want to have some mini dental stix from Pedigree for occupation in your house or a play pen. Natural raw hide chews are great for chewing. Mozzarella cheese sticks (tiny pieces) are great for training. Small pieces of hot dogs are a great initiative for puppy to go into his/her kennel at night.
• A collar that is medium sized and a long regular leash.
• Dog food that is either Premium Edge from Mud Bay, or you can mix my puppy food (from your care bag) with food such as Pinnacle, Nutro, or Wellness. Petco or Mud Bay will let you return food that your puppy doesn’t like.
• Dog dishes: You can use household materials as long as it is something that puppy cannot easily tip over. Stainless steel or ceramic is recommended.
• Dog kennel that matches either the size of Sandy or smaller. Sandy is 17 inches tall and Chewbacca is 12 inches tall.
• A carrier is nice to have, especially for car rides
• A play pen for play times inside and out--OPTIONAL or borrow one
• A few toys (soft, plush toys and a rope attached to a squeaky ball) and you can pick some of these natural things that you feel comfortable with such as bark and sticks, thick leftover pieces of clean rope, strips of cloth tied to a tree, and old wash cloths that are clean.
• A comb and brush as recommended by any groomer at a pet store
• Advantage flea medicine (especially for summer months).
• Canned Pumpkin is great for upset stomachs and diharrea.
• Puppy License after puppy comes home.
