ekkk! we have a puppy arriving in 3 weeks - what do we need to do?

[willitbe]

I am taking on a foster puppy for socialisation before they go to be trained to be a support dog for a person with disabilities.

So we will only have this pup for a year. But it is our first time at having a family pet, so we are total novices.

The society provide the crate and food, but not sure what else we need to have prepared before they arrive. Please help!

toys (kong ones are great, you can get them on amazon)

a lead and collar

puppy training pads (if its not house trained) - you have 2 choices for this. washable ones www.amazon.co.uk/training-Washable-Reusable-Waterproof-Absorbing/dp/B07DF7K2KX/ref=sr_1_28?keywords=puppy+training+pads&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1537083979&sr=8-28 or disponeable- www.amazon.co.uk/Milo-Misty-Super-Absorbent-Training-Protection/dp/B01LTACCZ0/ref=sr_1_36?keywords=puppy+training+pads&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1537084057&sr=8-36

treats- www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/puppy/puppy-food-and-treats/puppy-treats---milk?currentPage=3&

dental sticks (specifically for puppies)

bowls for water and food

all the best!

Also, enrichment toys you can stuff with food are a bit of a godsend ime.

Pick up everything off the floor or within reach!!

Have a look through this list of articles/guides. It covers pretty much everything you could possibly need to know!

Thank you that is great, I am really looking forward to my new adventure.
