Here are our recommendations:
Food
2. Sprinkle on
Bully Max Health Powder to ensure your puppy gets all the vitamins, micro-nutrients and minerals that he or she needs.
4. Drizzle some
Miracle Vet All-Natural Weight Gainer sauce to ensure your puppy gets all the good calories he or she needs to build a strong sturdy stacky physique and healthy furcoat.
6. You may also add
Atasco Goat's Milk Powder as a meal topper for added calcium and fats. Or mix it as a drink to boost your puppy's water intake.
7. Lastly,
Bully Max Performance Chews is a supplement in the form of a treat that you could use to reward your puppy for good behavior!
8. Present your puppy's meal in a food-safe ceramic feeding bowl.
House Training
1. You'll need some
pee pads to prevent messes at home.
2.
Pee Trays are good to secure the
pee pads as some puppies tend to chew on the pads and make a big mess from them!
4. It's important to clean off all odour on places where your puppy has made a mess. This prevents remarking and discourages mistakes again. Use an
odor remover or this
multi-surface cleaner to disinfect and clear odor.
5. Keep rags and paper towels handy to clean up messes.
Puppy Enclosure
1. Allocate an area of your house as a safe space for puppy to rest and sleep in. Use a portable dog fence or cage to create this area if you need. Make sure the area well ventilated.
2. The enclosure should include
- blanket (only introduce a dog bed when your pup is potty-trained);
- water bowl.
Grooming
1. Use a gentle
organic shampoo for bath time. Bath time may come sooner than expected if your puppy happens to make a messy accident!
2. Apply an
organic conditioner and massage this into your pup's skin to get it moisturized. Make sure to rinse off completely.
3. Keep puppy's ears clean with an organic ear cleanser. Regular cleaning prevents itchy ear mites and smelly yeast infections!
Walkies Training
We also carry Mendota Slip Leads for a safe and effective way to get your pup trained for walking! We recommend to try the leash on your pup within your home first before going out.

The final, most essential ingredient to home preparation is energy. Align with your family members on the right tone to set with your puppy from the start. Maintaining the right tone that's consistent and clear with your puppy creates structure and boundaries that will help your puppy flourish!
