What to prepare when raising puppies

Before taking your dog to a new home, you need to prepare items and a living space to let him get used to it quickly.

Your home needs to be clean before you get the dog home. By removing obstacles, fragile utensils are removed from the captive area. Hang up chemicals or store them in a closet, you can keep a large area of ​​the house for your dog to work.

For me, when I take the baby home, I leave the nest in the dry bathroom. Here makes it easy to clean and avoid disturbing other rooms. I turn around and guide the dog to pee at the designated position.

Basic supplies for dogs

The puppy's essentials include a food bowl and a water bowl. Ideally you should buy a stainless steel bowl. Or hard plastic can be purchased at any dog ​​store

Prepare the crib to be soft and dry. Change it often if it gets wet. Toys you can always buy for your dog to prevent them from chewing on your furniture.
