Suggested items for your puppy

Items to consider as you prepareto bring your puppy home.

Dog Bowl

Food bowl/water bowl

It is best not to buy bowls they can easily push around. It is actually not as healthy and can cause them undue stress eating from a bowl that can move when they lick up the food.

Poo Bags

Dog poo bags

We use these ones, and highly recommend them; we don’t use any others, and quality does matter!

Fromm

Dog Food

We recommend Fromm’s puppy food. You can buy it at any Global Pet Foods.

Note: stay away from grain-free dog food.

Puppy Bed

Puppy Bed

We recommend you don’t buy a super expensive bed YET for your precious puppy, as there is bound to be excited puppy behaviour which may include tearing up his bed in a wrestling match!

Cage

Cage

If you will do cage training, this small breed cage from Amazon is great.

Cage

Playpen for Dogs

If you will keep the dog in an enclosed area in your home, this type of fence/pen works really well.

Pee Pads

Training Pee Pads

As you begin to train your little puppy to go to the washroom outside, you will still need to have an area inside where she can go, as her little bladder can not hold it for too long yet!

Nature's Miracle

For Accidents and Cleanup

This product is excellent - one of the only ones that we’ve found really works for eliminating the scent from the area, so the dog does not go back and pee there again.
