BRINGING YOUR PUPPY HOME

Bringing your new puppy home for the first time is an exciting event for both your family and your puppy. While exciting, it is important to know the transition for your new puppy can be very overwhelming. Your puppy will be experiencing a whole new world of smells, people and sounds. To help with this transition for both your family and your new puppy, it’s important to be prepared.

SHOPPING LIST

Your Doodle puppy will come home with a Snuggle Puppy that has been scented with mom and littermates, a small bone we have used in crate exposure, a small bag of dog food, and a folder with training information, food and exercise guides, and vet records. However, there are several other items you will need to purchase before bringing your doodle home. Below are some of the must-haves.

  • Dog bowls

  • Dog food

  • Dog bed

  • Dog crate (we recommend starting with a crate that will be large enough when your pup is full grown but comes with a moveable divider for when he or she first comes home)

  • Pick-up bags and dispensers

  • Collar and leash 

  • ID tag

  • Dog brush

  • Dog treats

FIRST NIGHT

There are a few things you can do to try and make your puppy's first night a great one:

  • Have a good play session with your puppy, prior to bedtime. Your puppy may be tired already as there have been lots of changes to its environment. However, a short little play session before bed never hurts.   

  • Two hours before bedtime, take away your puppies water so he or she will not have to get up to go to the bathroom during the night. Puppies should have access to water all day until this time.

  • Your puppy will most likely whimper and cry the first few nights. This is normal. 

VACCINATION

We believe in taking good care of your puppies and making sure that they have a healthy start in life. They will see a Veterinarian from North Fork Clinic located in Brookville between 6-8 weeks where the doctor completes a full exam for any defects or potential problems.


When you take them home you must see a veterinarian within 5 business days to ensure we have not missed anything on our end.

 

At twelve weeks Pennsylvania requires the Rabies shot.
