It only a few weeks away for the puppies to go to their new homes. Here is a suggestion of things to have on hand:
Collar - puppies necks measure 6 1/2 " but they are still growing fast, so get a collar that is adjustable
Dog tag - get a dog tag with your address and your phone number clearly displayed
Leash- have a few on hand. Inexpensive ones are found at Dollar stores and Walmart
Food- I will send a small bag of California Natural, just enough to transition to your own brand.
Water bowl - get a low sturdy bowl. Pups knock them over very easily.
Crate- highly recommended to keep your puppy safe and also useful for potty training
Blanket -a soft old blanket works just fine. Don't spend too much since pups go through a chewing stage.
Toys and balls - small soft toys are best. Hard rubber is better for larger breeds.
Brush - I soft brush will get your puppy use to being groomed at an early age.
Puppy training book - Check the library. I liked 'How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks' by Ian Dunbar.
From veterinary:
Micro-chip - ask your vet about it when you get the shots. I think it is definitely worthwhile.
Frontline- flea prevention
Heartworm - protects against Heartworm disease by prescription
