PUPPY LAYETTE
I always get asked "what will I need for my puppy".
So I spent "hours" gathering up information and pictures of products
that I hope will assist you. You do NOT need to buy everything you see here.
This is just a guide for you to explore.
If you find something useful that is not listed here please let me know
so I can add it. Many people have a "Puppy Shower"
and you could "register" at your local Pet Store such as Pet Value or Petsmart.
they often offer discounts and usually every pet stores offers "gift Certificates"
You can bring your puppy with you to Petsmart for a socializing opportunity or shop online on amazon

Booster Bath available at Costco (click to go there)
$159.99 Item # 901529
A cage size (Medium: 26"L x 18"W x 18"H) is the cage size you need for Puppy's first day at 8 weeks of age
and should last puppy a couple weeks at least until they outgrow it and the size that puppy will be shipped to you in.
Grreat Choice Dog Carrier from Petmart
We use the plastic crates as they are more den like
They have less areas for puppy to injure themselves on
Less chances of them grabbing anything to pull in and destroy
Also easier to clean if the puppy makes a mess (which they should not if it is the proper size)
However a 36" D" X24"W X26"H size carrier or may be listed online as a 36"
should do a lifetime, for short time confinement.
In order to toilette/Crate train a puppy in an over sized cage you will need
to make it smaller to only allow enough room for puppy to lay down (and not to pee in there
by blocking the extra space with either cardboard boxes or toys or wooden wall.
Any Cage name brand will do and any store such as Walmart, TSC Store or Petsmart
are reasonably priced. Do not get the "wire" cages.

never lift puppy over the top as will teach them that they can just jump over and out.
I have had my same ones for over 10 years. Easy to clean, durable and totally portable.

Two pannels will block an average porch or deck opening and is cheaper than buying baby gates.

Available cheapest at Costco for $36.99
Item # 237295
We bought several from them and they have lasted over 2 years with regular washing (entire bed)
I like the dogs smell of cedar but not the greatest if you have allergies.
(note *The bigger ones dont' always fit in the washing machine*)
Costoc has several other style beds that are inexpensive
DogPedic Beds
Memory Foam Bed, as seen on TV, with WATERPROOF liner and a suede like cover.
I like this bed for the simple reason that liquids wont absorb through the entire
bed so I only have to wash the cover and wipe the liner down.
Also the fact that the bed will hold it's shape and not get all fluffy just at the one end
However you do pay for these added features..
Standard Poodles will need the "Medium" sized bed which is 37" x 24"
$70.00 +SH

restrained by a gentle pressing the brake. The brake can also be locked
into place. The flexi Classic 3 features a cord retractable leash that
extends up to 26 feet and is available for all size dogs. Some come

night while your pet is moving. This feature increases the life of the
battery from hours to months! Visible for up to 1/3 mile. Tags are
waterproof. Battery included. There are many other brands that you can
activate when you wish it to blink. Personally I want to know where my
pet is when he "isn't" moving as well as when he is.
