PUPPY ITEMS NEEDED

  Here is a list of items I recommended: check out links for safe toys, supplements and other items.

(Most of these items you can purchase at our local Pet storeSOR Chewy.com)

Crates:    Veri kennel size 24/26 for puppy stage, then when pup is older transfer to metal crate   

                   42" 

              I like the Midwest metal crates with double doors

              Make sure to get dividers for  

              growing pups.  You can also get    

              these crates with triple doors for easy use in cars or   

             home.

X-Pens:  36” - 48" high with door ( I would get as many as you need.

                   Two for outside that you clip together into one area.

                   One inside to keep puppy safe when you can’t

watch                       

                    it.

               ( I would buy extra heavy duty clips from   

                 hardware store for added strength)  

Grooming tools:  bristle brush medium to soft

                              7" medium/fine comb, and /or

                              deshedding comb.  

Food: for the first two weeks at new home:

Albright beef, CHICKEN, TURKEY THE 2 LB CHUBS

Chicken thighs cut in half, chicken wings

Canned pumpkin

Zip lock freezer bags quart size

   You can add ground hamburger to food as well.  Each new protein you add give one week to see how they do with the other proteins they are already on

Other meats to give as pup gets older:

Pork loin

Beef hearts

Beef kidneys

Egg with shell

Frozen small sardines

Green tripe

Frozen chicken feet

Supplements: order thru nature’s farmacy

Cran Tri C

Digestive Enhancer

You will need to order the Albright 2lb frozen beef tubes from Jeff Cormier.  Contact information below.

I also recommend making your own treat with a dehydrator that you can purchase at Target or Wal mart.

You can hydrate vegetables, meat and fruit.  

Safety and

Identification:   

I prefer the halter collar now instead of neck collar.

Less damage is done to their soft necks with a halter collar. Make sure to get halter that does not restrict their front legs and shoulders.  Should fall between front of chest and under rib cage.

https://www.chewy.com/hdp-big-dog-no-pull-dog-harness-black/dp/148109

do not purchase halters the comes across puppies front legs and restricts growth and movement.  Very Bad! Halter should go between front chest between front legs and under to belly.

See picture below

I also recommend the halter from DoggyKingdom

   Use a lead that has a small clip on end.  Do not start with an adult lead for the clip is too heavy for a little puppy.  You can then graduate to a 6 foot leather lead which will be recommended at future obedience classes.  

I prefer you puppy name and contact info imprinted on halter or collar then tags.  Most tags get caught in things which can be very dangerous for your pet. At 6 months I recommend you get your puppy microchipped at your vets.                     

make sure to register the chip.  You can put me as your second contact person with my phone number 603-293-6938.  If you move please call recovery company to give change of contact information.

Training and

Development:   Puppy preschool and Puppy Kindergarden.

                          This is a must for every puppy. Start training at home.  Don’t stop there.  Continue classes. The more you train the better the outcome of a well behave puppy/dog.

Toys:  No Nylabones!

           Yes Booda bones, planet dog toys, deer and or mosseantlers, 

Toys   http://www.planetdog.com/category.aspx?categoryID=63

   Stay away from toys made in China....bad chemicals and toxic to puppies and dogs.

here are some links to purchase USA made toys:

Sleeping:   No beds in the beginning.  Use old towels that

                  can easily be washed for crates.  LL Bean beds are the best for later use.

Bowls:     Stainless steel bowls  only

                  Buddy bowls for travel (no spill water bowls)

             Stainless pales to hang in crate for water

Nail grinder:  click on links to order your own Dremel.

Stay away from high areas of ticks.  No woods or high grasses.

Check your pup after 6 months 2x a year for lyme and heartworm.  I usually do spring and fall checks.  Simple blood test.  If positive for lyme then do a titer to check number level.
