Being prepared for the puppy is very important and will make the transition for both of you a wonderful experience.
You and your puppy will need:
1. Dishes
Stainless steel bowls one for water and one for kibble. always wash between feeding.
Sometimes a stainless steel slow feeder will be needed as the get older.
2. Kibble:
We recommend and use
Purina Pro Plan Chicken & Rice All Ages 30/20
Purina Pro Plan Chicken & Rice Under 1 Year Puppy
3. Flea & Tick Preventative
Frontline plus
4. Heartworm preventative
Milbegurd/Heartgurd
Flea & Tick plus Heartworm Preventative in one
Simpreica Trio
5. Collar
Flat collar or a Martingale collar
lease training - a gentle leader head harness may be used safely.
Please DO NOT use a body harness. The only time I may use a body harness is during in person training classes like Pet dog 101 class requirement with very short training session out & about.
6. Leash
light leash for walking and a long lead for play & recall training.
Please NEVER use a retractable leash
7. Metal Crate with double doors
Metal crates are best with a thin flat washable bed or old towel.
8. Exercise Pen
9. Nail clippers or dremel
Please clip tip of nails about every 2 weeks
10. Dog Shampoo
11. Dog Brush
I love the self cleaning brushes
