Preparations before Bringing Your Puppy Home After what seems like a long wait you are finally ready to get your new puppy. Preparing for a new puppy is exciting, after all, you are adding to your family. And just like preparing for a human baby, you need to be ready for this little fur-baby.
Planning ahead will make the move to your home easier for the puppy and for you. One of the first things you will want to do is have the puppy checked out by a veterinarian. It’s a good idea to know in advance, what veterinarian you plan to take your puppy to. Some veterinarians will do this first check for free. It is simply to confirm that your puppy is healthy and that the vaccinations are on track. This also gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have at that time.
Most breeders will provide a puppy packet which usually includes a sampling of food the pup is used to and a toy and/or blanket that has been used by momma dog and the litter mates. The scent on these items is comforting to puppy. Some breeders also include booklets of information related to the care of puppy.
