Puppy Checklist
___ 2 Extra Large Stainless Steel or Ceramic Bowls (plastic harbors bacteria)
___ Eukanuba Puppy Growth food (Dry) - small sample will be provided.
___ Nylon collar fitting 2 fingers between neck & collar (adjustable will save you lots). Do not use a
choke chain unless a trainer asks you to, and then only during obedience work. No collar at all
if you plan to show
- one will be provided.
___ Metal cage 21” x 26” x 36” (this size will last a life time for most pups)
___ Pet Bed ~ 24” x 36” suggested
___ Nylabone, Gumabone, Rope Toys, Sheepskin Toys, tennis ball and other toys that will not
break apart (Never poultry bones, they go thru the puppy like broken glass)
___ Nature’s Miracle (for "accidents")
___ Tearless puppy shampoo
___ Tearless puppy conditioner
___ Slicker brush ~ make sure that you section the coat and comb
through to the base of the coat, not just the surface of the hair as
mats will develop
___ Wide tooth comb ~ again combing sections and to the base of the
coat
___ If you plan to groom yourself ~ Electric Clippers, #10 blade, #40 blade, #0 plastic
clip/guide (to attach over the #40 to clip the body coat and leave some length), #10 to
shave feet & face
___ If you plan to groom yourself ~ Kwik Stop styptic powder & Scissor type nail clippers, clip
every 2-3 weeks in a no nonsense fashion
