PUPPY SUPPLIES
-
Diamond Naturals Small/Medium Breed Puppy Formula
-
Pine pellets (horse bedding) or hardwood pellets for potty training can be purchased at Tractor Supply, Basin Feed, or any other farm supply store. This method tends to work better than potty pads. I use a rabbit pen tray and spread the pellets in that. It is similar to litter box training a cat.
-
Spectra 9 way puppy vaccine **3 more before being around other unvaccinated dogs, dog parks, etc**
-
Deworming medicine – at least once more around 10 weeks old. This can be purchased at most farm supply stores. I used Duravet Liquid Wormer 2X at 2,4,6, and 8 weeks.
-
Toys- I recommend buying all rubber toys.
-
Kennel with divider might be handy for potty training purposes. The divider helps keep the kennel small, which will likely prevent accidents and you'll only need to purchase one kennel. My adults use a kennel that is 19"x21"x30"
-
A furminator will come in handy with this breed
-
Microchip registration instructions are in your puppy binder if you would like to register with Petlink. The microchips were placed by Paws, Claws, and Hooves (509) 578-1729. I have registered your microchip with freepetchipregistry.com. A transfer of ownership email has been sent to you.
