I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Hydrogen peroxide is a must for every puppy owner, and learn how much to use and when to use it. You need to do that before the emergency happens.

Vomiting, and you need to know the exact dosage, for their weight, and also when to give it. The first year they eat everything that lands on the floor, except they can be extremely fussy with their food. You give it for any type of poisoning, from chocolate to sugarless gum, to human medication. You don't induce vomiting if the substance they swallowed burns the esophagus tubes, such as gasoline. You also don't also induce vomiting if they have swallowed a solid object such as a penny, as this can cause choking. We used it on Christmas day, when Joey got a hold of one of those silica packets that come in luggage or purses that absorb moisture. The sooner you can cause them to vomit after they ingest the poisonous substance the better. I also recommend having the phone number of the vet, and the emergency hospital, right by the phone.

| I was just informed about the benadryl today! Our vet gave Max an allergy shot for his sneezing, and said we can supplement with 1/2 cc of childrens benadryl in between vet visits! |

| When I brought my puppy home he got sick on the way home and threw up all over me. Just be warned it might happen. I put him in the kennel after that. When we got home he would not eat his kibble and the breeder even sent some home with us. All I could get him to eat was beef baby food. He gobbled that right up, I don't remeber where i heard that tidbit, but I thought if I would feed to my human baby it surely is allright for a puppy. A harness is a better bet than a collar so you don't break their trachea is what I also heard somewhere. Hope this helps. Enjoy your puppy and be prepared for lots of accidents and sleepless nights. |

| I would add some that others mentioned already and a few others, I will post the list below. *Nutri-Cal* *Hydrogen peroxide *Finger Toothbrush (for simplicity's sake but you will have to get a regular one later) *Toothpaste *Brush & Comb as some yorkie's Matt easily *A warm little sweater or PJ for cooler days or when you have an AC running, Yorkies tend to get cold easily. *Cozy Bed *Blankies ( 2-4 of them to start ) *A Few Tiny Toys *Puppy Pads *Ear Wash *Shampoo/Conditioner (we use Tigi Pet Head it smells Yummy) *Crate ( we have a soft crate and like that type best ) *A Sherpa for the crate if it doesn't come with one *Harness (No Collar unless it's loosely worn for Idenitification purposes) *Lead *X-pen ( I feel this is a MUST for any Yorkie owner ) That's what I could think of for the moment and definately what I would get if I were brining a new baby home.. Hope that helps! Good luck with your new little one! She will bring so much joy to your home. |

YT 500 Club Member | Just be careful that the beef baby food (or any baby food) doesn't have onions in it!

| Thanks everyone for your help! Buying all the stuff is almost as expensive as buying the dog itself! lol

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Lots of the stuff you can get at Walmart or Target, I always look there first. The better foods are generally sold just at Pet Stores, but they have a high mark-up on items, so you might want to look elsewhere first for some supplies.

YT 3000 Club Member | I would get ome natures miracle or something like that for those accidents, a flea comb and dont let your pup around other dogs or petsmart until they have had at least several rounds of their shots, you can carry them for safety |

| Holle, Even tho the ride home is about an hour and a half I really would not feed your puppy, I would probally call the breeder and ask that she feed her a couple hours before you get there your puppy leaving her home and scared and the motion of the car may make her throw up, Laci threw up all the way home!! It was gross!! |

Oh yes, Nature's Miracle is a great product, and definitely a necessity, if you have carpet. It has an enzyme remover that actually eats the protein in urine stains, and so dogs aren't compelled to return to the spot to go again. I also have a little flea comb for grooming the mustache area.
