Tips for bringing puppies home the first time

- Limit their access initially by using baby gates or crates to create a safe, designated area.
- Prepare the area with:
- A bed
- Puppy-appropriate toys
- Food and water bowls
- A designated toileting area
- Gradually increase their space as they grow.
- Follow the vaccination schedule and other preventatives as advised by your veterinarian.
- Keep contact information for a 24-hour emergency veterinary service handy.
