As dog owners ourselves, these are some things we use or have loved for our newest family members....
Snuggle Puppy Heartbeat Stuffed Toy
Victor Professional High-Pro Dog Food
Our hearts beat fast for the Original Heartbeat Snuggle Puppy with a warming feature and two different heartbeat settings. This is a wonderful comfort aid for puppies the first few weeks away from their litter. Can be purchased on Amazon.
Victor is our favorite dog and puppy food for our dogs. There has never been a recall on ANY of their kibbles, which is not typical. They have a wonderful balance of protein to carbs, and includes vitamins and probiotic strains. It is a great kibble for both adult dogs and is nutritionally balanced for growing puppies as well.
NuVet Vitamin Wafers
Mr. Peanut's Airline Approved Pet Carrier, Tall Profile
We love NuVet Supplement wafers for both our adult dogs and growing puppies. They are loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and immune support to give your puppy an additional nutrition boost. We like to crumble them into our dogs food once a day, but some dogs like them for a treat!
We like this pet carrier for flying home with a larger puppy because it is taller than most pet carriers (13 inches) but will fit under most airline seats, including Southwest airlines. It is slightly collapsable, but will not collapse when packing it. We like that it comes with a faux sherpa liner and lots of pockets for potty liners, treats, and personal belongings.
Pyrantel Pamoate Dog Dewormer
Your puppy will go home having been given dewormer several times. However, most puppies are born with worms in their gut, and need several additional doses of dewormer once they are home. We like this one because of the taste. Our puppies can't get enough of it!
Rabitgoo Soft-Padded Dog Harness
We prefer harnesses to collars for walking because they will not choke your puppy. This is especially important before a puppy has been trained to walk on a leash. We like this brand because it has held up over the years, it is padded nicely, and has adjustable straps, so it always fit our pups well.
Zuke's Mini Natural Training Treats
These little treats are fantastic for keeping in your pocket for obedience training. Our dogs always loved them and were highly motivated to work for them, especially the duck flavor. They are a great size and are nutritionally complete. They can also be divided in half if you are working with a smaller dog.
