Bringing a new puppy home is so exciting, until they leave
you a puddle or pile somewhere that they shouldn’t. It is important to make the
necessary preparations for a new puppy before you bring them home. There are
some puppy products that will make your and their transition much easier on both
of you.
One or Two Puppies?
Something to keep in mind is that most likely this puppy
has had quite a few siblings to hang out with since he or she was born.
Bringing them home to a kennel and isolation will only lead to lots of whining
and crying that keeps you up at night. There are advantages to bringing home
two puppies instead of just one. Two tend to keep each other company when you
have to leave or are asleep. Everything is doubly expensive though because you
now have to pay for two veterinarian appointments when they need vaccinations
or medications. When you have two dogs, they tend to rely on each other a
little more and don’t bond with their owner as much as they would if they were
an only dog.
Potty Training, Toys, and Food
You will need absorbent pads to put down when you are potty
training them as well as disinfectants to sanitize the area when they have
accidents. Puppies need puppy food because they are growing so fast and have
different needs than the they would if they were an adult dog. Puppies love to
chew on anything they can get between their teeth. You will have to train them
on what is appropriate to chew on and what is not. Having plenty of puppy chew
toys available to them will make it easier on both of you. Because they have
just been weaned, they aren’t used to dry food and you will have to soften
their food with water until they are a little older and can tolerate dry food
better.
Kennel Training
Training a puppy to a kennel is helpful for quite a few
reasons. They will have some place to go when they feel overwhelmed and when
they need to be protected from visitors or when visitors need to be protected
from them. Other puppy products
include bedding, blankets, and an outside doghouse if needed.
