Food & Nutrition
Your puppy's nutrition will play the biggest role in extending the lifespan and overall health of your dog. We have done our research over the years and dog food, treats, and health & wellness products are key. We suggest the Exclusive Signature Chicken & Brown Rice formula for new puppies.
They use a natural and holistic approach to their products, developed by a panel of Veterinarians and Ph.D. in Animal Nutrition. Your food is shipped directly to your door precisely when your pet needs it with a 100% money back guarantee.
Start Online Training
We are so excited to have partnered with Baxter & Bella, an excellent online dog training program. They take you from setting up your home before the puppy arrives to detailed training courses.
If you ever you feel stuck or would like more specific help, you can easily set up online one-on-one video training sessions with a trainer! This is a fantastic option and very affordable. Be sure to use our partner code for 25% off.
Activate Pet Insurance
We are thrilled to offer our families a Go Home Day Offer through Trupanion — 30 days of immediate, comprehensive pet insurance coverage starting the day your puppy comes home. Trupanion is available 24/7, 365 days a year and covers 90% of eligible vet bills.
Activation window: Families can activate from 24 hours before until 24 hours after pick up to start coverage.
Veterinary Care & Vaccines
According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), puppies should be vaccinated every two to four weeks between the ages of 6 and 16 weeks with the final puppy vaccines given no earlier than 16 weeks of age.
Schedule your puppy's first vet appointment within 3 days of receiving your puppy. We highly recommend booking this 2 weeks prior to taking them home!
Puppy Supplies Checklist
We recommend having the necessary tools and supplies on hand before you bring your puppy home. The essentials include: a harness, collar and leash, water and food bowls, a bed, crate/kennel, puppy shampoo and conditioner, slicker brush and detangler comb, soft toys, and healthy training snacks.
Digestive Health
Sometimes changing homes can cause upset tummies for puppies. Having probiotics, turmeric and vitamins on hand helps little tummies relax and adjust smoothly.
Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil
Packed with omega-3 fatty acids to promote a healthy coat, skin, joint mobility, brain activity, and build their immune systems.
Kennels & Crates
It's important that you choose the right sized crate. You will want one that is big enough to keep them comfortable, but not too big. Find a crate with a divider so it can grow with them!
Healthy Puppy Chews
Chewing is essential for healthy development. Giving them a healthy option for chewing plus some added dental hygiene will keep them off of your shoes and furniture!
Urine Eliminator
Accidents happen! Having an effective enzyme cleaner to treat potty accidents is essential to keeping clean and to your peace of mind while they learn.
For all other supplies, we recommend that you have fun customizing your puppy to fit in perfectly with your family! Chewy and Amazon are both great places to shop for your pet needs.
