| Congrats on getting your puppy! I would recommend taking your harness and leash with incase you need to stop for potty break, and a water bottle. For toys my fellas love little stuffed toys, little toys that squeek and they can teeth on. Maybe a alarm clock that ticks, so it sounds like a heart beat. Then just lots of love. As for food, I love innova, and orjien is great as well, very little grains and no filler!!! Keep us posted so we can see the little one!

YT Graphic Artist Donating Member | Congratulatons on your new puppy and welcome to YT! There are a lot of great people here who can help you out. I have 5 yorkies myself. 2 adults and 3 puppies. My little ones are on "Natural Choice Small Bites puppy food", and they just love it. As for toys, well they will love them all! Be careful with any stuffed animals, as they have eyes and things that your puppy could choke on. Mine love the puppy kong, and the fleece tug-o-war toys. There's so much to learn with a new puppy. We would love to see pictures!

| Congratulations on your new little bundle. I know these will be the slowest hours. I'm so glad that you decided to join us here at YT. The only other thing besides the toys, food, etc. would be a really soft little blankie. Murfee loves snuggling in his blankie.

| Welcome to YT and congrats on your new addition! Until your pup has had a chance to adjust to his(?) new home, you should continue to feed what he is accustomed to while he settles in--then consider searching for a new food if you think that is in his best interest. Can't wait to see pics! |

| Congratulation on getting your new baby girl. How old is she? The breeder should give you some of the food she has been eating. Let us know what the breeder is feeding and we can advise if it is a good food or not. When ever you switch foods you need to do it slowly. You don't want to start giving your puppy all kinds of treats either until they have had time to adjust. I feed my puppies Chicken Soup Puppy food. As far as toys, i would just get a small soft toy for her to play with. I let my puppies chew on cow ears that I cut in half. I also take old socks and tie them in a knot and the puppies love playing with them. I will be looking forward to see pictures of you new baby. |

| Aww congrats post pictures! <3 My furbaby loves his little stuffed squeekers, they're small enough to fit in his mouth and I swear he never lets go of it! Henry eats Royal Canine puppy 33, he loves it, but I'm looking into possibly changing as people have mentioned the itchies.
