The first 72 hours

A calm, prepared first three days sets the tone for a lifetime. Here's the checklist we give every new family:

  • Before pickup: crate, bed, food (we'll tell you the exact brand the puppy eats), bowls, collar and ID tag
  • Day 1: keep it quiet — let your puppy explore one room at a time
  • Day 2: start the routine — same feeding times, same potty spot, short play sessions
  • Day 3: first short visitors, gentle handling practice, and lots of naps

And remember: our team is one call away, for the life of your dog.
