1.A WONDERFUL vet (better if they specialize in small breeds)
2.Blanket (an electric one sometimes does the trick too.. helps w/ upset bellies)
3.Crate (sized proportional to your pup.. too much room might mean poop & pee issues)
4.Healthy puppy food (I prefer Canidae)
5.pee pads (always a GREAT idea!)
6.Collar/harness/leash
7.Id tags
8.Puppy vitamins/dietary suppliments
9.Styptic powder or pads (in case of small minor cuts or nails trimmed too short)
10.Nail clippers
11.Brush
12.Toothbrush
13.Chew toys out the wazoo!
14.X-pen (for safe & controlled play time)
15.Something from his breeder that smells like his mum or litter mates (my breeder let him choose his fav fuzzy toy out of his xpen and to this day it's still the one he guards from everyone and drags everywhere!) And something with your scent on it.
16.Ok no one's allowed to laugh at me for this one! There's a teddy bear you can buy @ walmart in the baby section and when turned on and timed it plays the soft sound of a heart beat(just like when they were in the womb) and it helps babies to sleep! It's made to strap onto the cribs bars (babies could roll over in their sleep and suffocate themselves) so you can attach it to their x-pen or on top of their crate.
17.Heavy water & food dishes (ceramic is good) plastic isn't a good choice bc they're so light that they tip and bc they trap and hold bacteria very easily.
18.Lots of sleep BEFORE the puppy gets there..
19.Bathing supplies, big fluffy towels (stick em in the dryer before you wash them so they're all warm and comfy!), look for natural shampoo(less chance of irritation)
20.Some warm sweater or coat (especially if you're getting your new baby this winter!)
Hope this helps! When do you get your puppy!?! How exciting!
