Puppy Items
~Puppy Needs~
1. Food. Meat first ingredient. We feed them 3 times a day.

​
3. Name tag showing puppy's name, your details, and perhaps your vet's telephone number.
4. Chews and teething aids (to be used under supervision).
5. Poo bags.
6. Toilet training pads. "puppy pads".
7. Suitable toys.
-
Variety of toys (a ball, rope, chew toy and puzzle toy are good starts)
​
8. Training treats (check they are suitable for puppies as some are not suitable until puppies reach 6 to 12 months).
​
9. Grooming equipment

10. Claw clippers and scissors.

​
12. Puppy play pen, fencing, gates.
13. Basket/bed, bedding and spare covers.
​
14. Furniture sheets or covers.
​
15. Crates:
​
-
Dogs are den animals, and they love the comfort and security offered by a snug space of their own.
-
Ideally, the crate will have three "walls," with a front gate your dog can see through.
-
It's important to find a crate that's just the right size for your puppy. If the crate has too much room, the puppy is likely to have an "accident" inside of it. But the crate should not be so small that he doesn't have room to sit up or stretch out.
Add some bedding, like old sheets, T-shirts, or towels, so puppy has something soft to sleep on, and be sure to leave him a few chew toys.
