Let's Get Ready For Your Puppy!

Get ready for your new puppy by gathering all the essential supplies and learning what to expect. Being prepared ahead of time will help make the transition smooth and set your puppy up for success.

Food and Bowls

It is very important not to switch your dog’s food right away. Sudden changes in diet can upset their stomach, causing diarrhea, loss of appetite, or discomfort. Staying on the same food for at least a couple of months allows your puppy’s system to adjust.

  • Fortified with glucosamine and chondroitin for healthy hips and joints

Toys and Treats

Toys and treats aren’t just fun-they’re essential for your dog’s mental development and daily balance. Puppies are naturally curious and need appropriate outlets to explore, chew, and problem-solve. Interactive toys and reward-based treats help build cognitive skills, boost confidence, and reinforce positive behaviors.

Keeping your puppy engaged with toys also prevents boredom, which is often the root of unwanted behaviors like chewing on furniture, digging, or getting into things they shouldn’t. A mentally stimulated puppy is a happier, calmer, and more well-behaved companion.

Crates and Beds

Snuggle Puppy toy

Crate

I recommend a wire crate with double doors and a divider until fully crate trained. Crate training is important for the potty training success of your dog and gives them a safe space to go. This is an important step in training a puppy and not recommended skipping!

Acrylic Indoor Dog Playpen

When you can’t actively supervise, a playpen helps prevent accidents, chewing on unsafe items, or developing bad habits. It also creates a secure environment where your puppy can learn independence while staying protected.

Metal dog playpen

Elevated Cooling Dog Bed

A raised dog bed is a great training tool because it teaches your dog to have a designated “place” to relax and settle. It creates clear boundaries, helps with impulse control, and keeps them off furniture and underfoot. Using a raised bed for place training builds confidence and structure, giving your dog a calm, consistent spot to go when asked.

Grooming Supplies

Dog Dental Kit

Baking soda toothpaste and chicken-flavored formula fights bad breath, controls tartar, and promotes healthy gums. Brushing your dog’s teeth helps prevent plaque, gum disease, and bad breath while protecting their overall health. Healthy teeth and gums reduce the risk of pain, infection, and even issues that can affect their health.

Dematting tool

For removing knots and matted fur from long-haired pets with long steel blades and easy-grip handle. 

Wooden Handle Grooming Comb (Double-Sided)

Doodles need a comb after brushing because their coats can hide small tangles close to the skin. A brush may smooth the top layer, but a comb helps catch any missed knots and prevents mats from forming. Regular combing keeps their coat healthy, comfortable, and free of painful tangles.

Slicker brush

This brush effortlessly detangles and dematts even the thickest coats of long-haired dogs. Doodles need to be brushed 1-2 times a week. Start now so they are used to grooming!

This gets the yellow out and enhances darker coat colors, leaving your pup’s fur soft, brilliant, and dazzling white.
