Checklist:


✓ Puppy food.  If you'd like to buy Nutrisource puppy kibble from Kimberlee's Kennels it is available in a 35 lb bag for $45.00 plus tax. Pick up and delivery customers only. If out of state, see link above. 


Puppy Apartment    Enter code (KG52101) for 5% discount or Midwest Puppy Playpen. 


 

Pet bed .


✓ Water and food bowls. No spill ones are great, but if you are buying the Midwest Puppy Playpen,  you will want to buy the co-ordinating 2 Snap'y fit bowls as well here: 

  Snap'y Fit Bowls

 

 

 ✓ Brush, 7" metal comb, de-matter tool. You can learn how to groom simply by watching youtube videos and buying all your supplies here:  Grooming Supplies


 Or if you are local, please see www.myklassyk9.com   Jill does an excellent job and she is a personal friend of mine. Let her know I sent you. You don't need the furminator for non-shedding breeds. Dematter tool is highly recommended for most of my breeds.   



Ear Cleanser     And Toe-nail clippers & Forceps in above link Grooming Supplies. 



✓ Shampoo and conditioner. Make sure it is for puppies under 6 months of age. If you have children, you might want to throw in some cute bows and cologne.  See above link Grooming Supplies. 

 

✓ Flea and tick preventative. Make sure this is for puppies under 6 months. These are based on age and the weight of your new puppy. I highly recommend Frontline by it here: Frontline

 

✓ Heart Guard Preventative. This is given once a month and typically your vet will get you started on this. 

 

✓ Scent eliminator. Nature's Miracle in the red and white bottle which aids in potty training. Buy it here: Nature's Miracle.  


✓ Natural Balance Training Loaf. Natural Balance Training Meat Loaf. My number one product for basic obedience and for potty training. Training centers across America use this product. Found here: Natural Balance Training Dog food Loaf.



✓ Bell/ Dog Training Bell.   Some customers will also purchase a bell to aid in potty training.  Cute Training Bells   or  Inexpensive Training Bells.



Collar and lead.  


 The collar depends on the size of the puppy. Small breed: 4 -6",  Med. Breed: 6-8"


 

✓ Toys and treats. I love the Kong rubber made toys. Avoid toys with stuffing. Ropes are great.  You get a free ball in your Puppy Packet! My favorite treats are the ones made with sweet potato. Stay away from pig ears as they could contain salmonella poisoning.  Stay away from beef and bacon flavored treats that contain red food dye.  I LOVE Greenies, but make sure to look at age recommendations. See my favorites below. 


1.) Puppy Teething Rings  


2.) Tri-flavored Kabobs 


3.) Sweet Potato Treats. 


4.) Kong ball toys are found on Amazon.


5.) Snuggle Puppy with Heartbeat


6.) Bull Horns 

Puppies whine and cry when they first come home due to immaturity.   They have never been a lone before their whole life.  The Snuggle Puppy helps calm your puppy the first few days home.  It provides warmth, feels like another puppy to snuggle up to and has a gentle heart beat.  Make the transition into your home as calm as possible.
