| Supplies — What you will need to care for you puppies |
Crate: Purchase one for the size your dog will be as an adult, with dividers that can be removed to enlarge the crate as the
puppy grows. The crate should have bedding, such as a sturdy cushion or mat.
Exercise Pen or Gate: Lightweight exercise pens or childproof gates will allow your new family member to be confined
to controllable areas, yet be close to the family's activities.
Toys: Be sure to choose toys that do not have loose or small parts that can be chewed off and swallowed. Toys provide
entertainment, but are also necessary for teething and training. Nylon or hard rubber bones and toys are excellent choices
for teething puppies. Stuffed animals, which can be torn apart, should only be allowed under direct supervision.
Dishes: Water and food dishes should be non-tippable and preferably made of heavy stainless steel or sturdy stoneware
(ceramic). Make sure fresh water is always available. You might want to put a mat or tray under the dishes to protect your
floor from spills.
Food: Check with your breeder or vet to see what to feed and how often to feed your puppy.
Collar and Leash: You will probably need a training collar and an everyday collar. Ask your breeder or veterinarian for
recommendations.
Grooming Tools: It’s a good idea to have basic grooming tools, such as flea comb and dog nail clippers. Needs vary
from breed to breed.
Other: Be sure to puppy-proof your home and get the name and number of a good veterinarian, if you don't already have
one.
