Preparing for Puppy’s Arrival

Bringing a new puppy into your home is an exciting adventure filled with joy and love. However, to ensure a smooth transition and create a safe, comfortable environment for your new furry friend, preparation is key. Here are some essential tips and must-have products, including the Bite Block, Brushmate, and Toothpaste from Paw Ready, to help you get ready for your puppy’s arrival.

Creating a Safe and Comfortable Space

Before your puppy arrives, it’s important to set up a designated area where they can feel secure and comfortable. This space should include a cozy bed, some toys, and be free of any hazards.

Key Considerations:

• Puppy-Proofing: Ensure that all electrical cords, small objects, and toxic plants are out of your puppy’s reach.
• Comfort: Provide a soft bed or crate where your puppy can retreat to when they need rest or feel overwhelmed.
• Boundaries: Set up baby gates or playpens to restrict access to areas that are not puppy-proofed.
