What do I need when I bring my puppy home?

---

A crate is essential for so many reasons:  It is a safe place for your curious puppy to be when you are not able to supervise them.  Dogs instinctively try to keep their sleeping areas clean, so an appropriate sized crate will help with house training!

Wondering what size of crate to buy? (24", 30", 36")?  Most of our pups will require the 30" crate.  We will let you know if you should be looking at one of the other sizes when we match you to your puppy.

Crate covers help support pet relaxation and encourages sleep.

A good harness, that is the proper fit for your pup, will reduce pulling, increase control over your pet, and decrease stress on their neck and back by dispersing pressure over a larger area of the dogs body.  We have found that the Front Range Harness from Ruffwear is a great fit for our pups and is what we use with them during their leash training.  

There are a few products that are essential to the grooming care of your puppy.  

Here are a few of our recommendations:

Brush: 2-in-1 Detangler by Wet Brush: one side is ideal for freeing up entangled hair and the other side is great for combing out loose hair 

The wet brush pet brush helps get the knots out of your pet's fur for a smooth and shiny coat

Pet Steel Comb: another option for getting those tangles, mats, loose hair and dirt.

EcoEars Dog Ear Cleaner: use for itch, smell, and gunk.  Helps wash away common ear problems caused by built up wax, dirt and grime and leaves the ears fresh and clean

Eye Wash: helps clean discharge from your pet's eye caused by allergies or other eye problems

Ophthalmic gel (for those living in dry climates): provides safe and effective relief for your pet's eye irritation or wounds.
