Preparing for Your Puppy’s Homecoming

Welcoming a new puppy is exciting.

A little preparation ensures those first days are smooth and stress-free.

​

1. Have Quality Puppy Food Ready

We highly recommend Purina Pro Plan Puppy Food. Your puppy will go home with a starter supply (approximately seven days’ worth), along with coupons and guidance on where to purchase more.

​

If you choose to switch brands, transition gradually over several days to avoid digestive upset.

​

2. Prepare a Comfortable Sleeping Area

Have a warm, dry crate or box ready for your puppy’s first night. Line it with newspaper or, preferably, wood shavings.

​

Our puppies are accustomed to using wood shavings from two weeks of age. This familiarity helps reinforce early house-training habits and discourages accidents on clean flooring.

​

3. Puppy-Proof Your Home

Puppies explore with their mouths. Be sure to remove or secure:

  • Shoes

  • Laundry

  • Electrical cords

  • Rugs and small household items

 

If it’s within reach, it may become a chew toy.

​

4. Stock Healthy Training Treats

Positive reinforcement is key to raising a well-mannered dog. Keep nutritious treats on hand to reward good behavior and obedience.

​

5. Be Ready to Fall in Love

Your puppy will quickly become part of your heart — and your daily routine. We ask that you provide a loving, safe, and committed home for a lifetime of companionship.

3. The buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within three business days of taking possession.

A. If the puppy is found to be in poor health, the buyer has the option of returning the puppy to the seller, at buyer’s cost, for a full refund.

D. Please ensure that the puppy is kept in a kennel or held in the waiting room of a veterinary office and that exam room is properly disinfected before appointment.

E. Do not let puppy walk on the floor in the veterinary office and ensure the room was cleaned prior to putting your puppy on the table. I recommend bringing a clean towel or blanket with you.

 

4. The buyer is responsible for all medical expenses associated with the treatment of intestinal parasites if puppy is diagnosed with them (even if puppy has parasites present when sent home).

a. If you are not willing to treat puppy parasites (sometimes more than one treatment is needed), then please do not buy a puppy.

b. It is common for puppy parasites to flourish after joining their new family (stress and change accommodate this).

c. Some parasites can be contagious, and it is possible that other dogs in the house can get them.

6. The seller highly recommends providing basic obedience training with their puppy within the first year of owning their dog.

 

7. The buyer agrees to postpone strenuous forced exercise until after their puppy is over one year of age (80% of hip dysplasia is caused by improper exercise. This includes running with your puppy, biking, treadmills, using stairs to exercise, strenuous hikes, etc).

 

8. The buyer agrees to contact seller immediately if the buyer determines they are unable to keep their puppy for any reason. The buyer and seller will determine how the dog will be rehomed.
