Oh your excitement just shouts out from the page. Good for you.
Okay dear Nutrical is for teeny weeny ones. 2-4 lbs. I doubt that you will need that.

If your puppy is not BAT tested - Bile Acid Test book an appt with your vet to do that after 16wks old.

I wish you lots of joy and happiness with your Poppy. Post pics when you get him home

+ Puppy Pads
+ PINK Food bowls
+ Puppy food
+ PINK Brush
+ PINK small collar
+ PINK Small Harness
+ PINK Lead
+ Sensitive Pet eye Wipes
+ Puppy Shampoo
+ PINK Pet Carrier (got it yesterday at Pets at Home)
+ Nuti Cal (it came today woop woop)
+ Lactol Milk
+ PINK Puppy Beanbag Pillow (it warms up in microwave to keep puppy warm) only slightly warm it wont burn the puppy
+ Blankets (4 of them in red and PINK hehe) The breeder has one blanket so she has her mum, borther and sisters smell on it when she comes home on her forst night.
+ PINK Towel to dry her after her baths
+ PINK Puppy Bed
+ Puppy Pen
+ 2 Puppy books to keep me right
+ Some PINK extra small bows (to get her use to wearing them)
+ Toys (lots and LOTS of toys)


I have also made my appointment on Monday morning at the vets. I also have seen the puppy insurance i am going to get from PetPlan. I have taken Monday and Tuesday off work to spend with her to make sure shes ok the first few days in her new home. I dunno what else i can do?

I took all your advise and as you can prob see from my list i went and bought a pet carrier to take her to the vets in etc. Its lovely and PINK hehe, i think she will feel happy in there (like a safe place) I also bought Nutri Cal altho it dont say on it how much i would need to give to her and when do i give it to her?? I have looked it up online and it just tells me what it does and now how much to give for a dog thats 10lb? What section on this forum should i be asking that question?

I never knew how much puppys cost and i have not even got her home yet I am paying £500 for her which is alot more than the normal price around here but the breeder was really good and as you all told me to buy the breeder, i did lol so i dont mind paying the extra £200 But i must have spent at least £250 on getting everything i needed for when she arrives home. Then there is vet bills and insurance etc etc. I am very lucky i have the money to cover these costs and made sure of this before i even thought about getting a dog. If anyone reads this is thinking of getting a puppy make sure you cover ALL the costs not just the cost of getting the puppy. I admit i have gone a wee bit OTT when spending for Poppy but i couldnt help it haha!!

Only 2more sleeps untill she comes home i am so excited! Please let me know if you can think of anything else i will need
