Planning Your New Puppy’s Homecoming

Posted in Homecoming, Puppy Information at 11:01 pm by Administrator

As a Shih Tzu Breeder I discuss bringing a new puppy home a lot so that is where I will begin for now! (I will discuss finding a breeder and a new puppy in a future article.) View my web site at www.BoardingnBreeding.com

We should start with the following list – try to have these items before your puppy comes home!

List of supplies to get you started!

There is no specific order here – you will need everything listed and more…..this is just a starting point.

  • Food & Water Bowl (or consider a water bottle or a fountain)
  • Collar, Leash & ID Tags (use your cell phone #)
  • Pick a Vet
  • Crate & a few Towels
  • Book (puppy or breed specific)
  • Healthy Toys, Bones & Treats
  • Grooming Supplies
    • Brush, Comb
    • Shampoo
    • Nail Clippers
    • septic powder
    • small-med blunt end scissors (size depends on the breed of dog)
    • Clippers – large, small or both – depends on breed

Items you CAN’T find at the pet store (but you MUST to have): 

Time, Money, Patients and ….lots of TLC

This is just a quick overview.  Please feel free to comment or ask a question.

I will expand on each item (& probably add a few things) and talk about some products available along with some of their pros and cons, at a later date.

Up next…….house breaking and potty training tips

Horse Boarding & Shih-Tzu Breeder

I am going to start by letting everyone know a little about myself.

I have been caring for animals all of my life. For the last 15 years I have owned and ran a Horse Boarding Stable in Crystal Lake IL. Over the last few years I have begun to breed many types of critters like: Breeding the beautiful Gloster and Red Factor Canaries, Corn Snake Breeding with a great array of colors available, Poison Dart Frogs Breeding and most recently Breeding Shih-Tzu Puppies.
