Here's a list of things you may need when bringing home a new puppy or dog.

Picture
Before your dog comes home:

  • A crate -Bargain Hound is a great crate, costs less than the other brands because it doesn’t have a separator (only if dog is potty trained and can have the entire crate).    
  • Food & Water bowls - preferably stainless steel and non-tip bowls, would be best, prevents bacteria from growing on it.    

  • Dog food- If anything, cost is a good indicator of the quality but shouldn't be the only decision maker.
  • A leash (leather or double loop ones are the ones we recommend)
  • Toys, such as a long rope, balls, Kong.  
  • Deer Antlers
  • Hard chew bones, such as Nylabones
  • Flea/Tick Treatment
  • Heartgard, to prevent worms.
  • Dog gate (if necessary)


After your dog comes home:

  • Puppy ID tag
  • Canine nail clippers (Ask your vet or groomer to show you how to trim your puppy’s nails.)
  • Shampoo – Puppy Shampoo
  • Ear cleaner and/or ear drying powder.
  • Kong Zoom Groom for Dogs or Furminator
  • Pooper Scooper bags
  • Nature's Miracle Carpet stain and odor remover
  • File, notebook or scrapbook to hold current puppy/dog photos, medical history, vaccination records and other information about your pet.  This is vitally important if your puppy should get lost.  It's a good idea to keep "before" grooming and "after" grooming pictures of your dog so that you have a picture to show what he may look like with and without being groomed.  If you have your dog micro chipped or tattooed, keep this information in your file as well.
