Puppy Care

• A SAFE, ENCLOSED AREA (like a crate or a "puppy-proofed" room) where your puppy can rest when you can't supervise him.  It can also help with housebreaking.  Crates should be just big enough for him to stand up in, turn around, and lie down comfortably.

• FOOD AND WATER BOWLS that are sturdy, don't tip and not easily chewed, such as stainless steel.

• TOYS that are safe and durable so your favorite shoes don't become his favorite chew toy!

• PLASTIC BAGS for picking up your puppy's waste in the yard and on walks.  This helps control parasites and keeps your neighbors happy!

• A REGULAR PLACE TO ELIMINATE OUTDOORS will show your puppy where he should relieve himself.  By seven or eight weeks of age, most puppies have developed a preference as to where and what they eliminate on.  (You don't want that special place to be your carpet!)

• A VETERINARIAN can be found through recommendations from friends or your breeder.  Make an appointment right away to get your new puppy acquainted with the veterinarian you choose.
