Rusty is absolutely ADORABLE!! Congratulations on your new arrival. You are to be commended for thoroughly preparing for him. Your list sounds great. I myself prefer a finger toothbrush. Make sure you get them used to it at a young age. This also goes for brushing them, trimnming their nails,bathing them,ect. You will have a much easier time when he gets older if start now as a puppy. I myself love Merricks food.They make both dry kibble as well as canned food. It has never been on any recall lists. I researched the ingredients of many,many foods. (there are several threads on this topic you may want to check out) Merricks won out- plus more importantly, Lexie likes it!! Good luck and takes LOTS of pictures to share with us!
