Donating YT 500 Club Member | Congratulations and welcome to YT. A new puppy, how exciting for you!! As far as a checklist? I'm sure you'll have the food the puppy is currently eating. You might want to get some Nutrical, I did not and have never needed anything like it, but it might be something you'll need. If you don't have a vet, find one you trust (recommendations from friends?) Puppyproof your house, making sure things that could harm him are out of reach or put away, like electrical cords, plants, etc. I'm sure there are more things others will tell you to have on hand, anyone?

| Welcome to YT and congratulations. How exciting for you. I remember the day when Buddy came home, it was wonderful. Look forward to seeing pictures. Please use a harness not a collar on your little one. Good luck, Carol & Buddy |

| Congratulations on your new family member. I'm sure you did your homework on raising a puppy and what all you will need. I usually just say to buy some Nutri-Cal. These little ones have to eat at least 5 or 6 times a day, and if they don't, then the Nutri-Cal will stimulate their hungar and give them the vitamins they need. |

| Congratulations! You might want to ask the breeder for a small blanket or towel that has his mother's scent on it, he can sleep with it until he adjusts to his new home. I also put a bigger stuffed dog in the puppys bed along with the mommy blanket so they feel secure since puppy's like small spaces. Are you training with potty pads? If so stock up before you pick him up! Good luck!

No Longer a Member | Collar and tags (you can get instant tags at petsmart) lead crate with a crate bed and blanket in it dog bed dog bowls food--find one with a very small kibble. Royal Canin makes a baby puppy kind with softer kibbles. nutrical toys--tiny ball and a sock works great pads and newspapers x-pen (get the 2' tall one. The 3' tall one is hard to reach into) brush--start brushing early and try everyday, they try to bite the brush at first though natures miracle for accidents--and there WILL be many That's all I can think of right now. hth, Misty |
