You should keep feeding the puppy the same food it's been eating for at least a couple weeks while it adjusts to its new home. Then if you want to change the food, you can slowly start to change it over. When you bring it home, you'll want to keep it in one small area of the house at first so you can supervise it. You'll want to spend time with it, but I would crate it or leave it in an x-pen when you aren't able to supervise.
