Puppies will have their first set of puppy shots before going home. They will need a vet appointment at 12 weeks old for their check-up and ONLY second set of puppy vaccinations. Puppies will also need monthly wormer, and I use Pyrantal.
Quick checklist: - Leash and/or harness - Collar (puppy comes with one) - Dog food - Food bowls - ID Tags - Toys and training treats, lots of tennis balls to play fetch, blue wilderness has great, healthy treats - Teething toys, anything KONG is good - Bully Sticks, a great way to clean the puppies teeth because it requires some tough chewing which massages the gums and cleans the teeth. Always supervise them when they have one. - Dog Toothpaste - Puppy Shampoo (gentle) - Puppy Comb and Brush - Nail trimmers or file unless you plan to have your groomer take care of this - Pooper Scooper and Poop bags - Lots of paper towels for accidents - Car seat dog cover - Dewormer - DO NOT use Bravecto or Seresto. Can cause severe seizures or even death
Things to avoid: > Goldendoodles are known for eating small things, and they will find anything they should not. > Stuffing and rope toys are fun but should all be carefully supervised and only when you are there with them. > Garlic, onions, grapes, chocolate, alcohol, and Poinsettia plants are all very poisonous for dogs!
Food

> Leash > Collar > Toy and Blanket with mom's scent to help the him/her adjust > Vet Check Certificate with up-to-date vaccines and deworming > 2 year genetic health guarantee
Pet Insurance
I highly recommend buying pet insurance for your puppy. The cost of vet visits are expensive, especially if it is an unexpected emergency visit. Not all insurances pay the same as I found out from my personal experiences. I recommend buying Pet's Bestinsurance company. I filed a claim for one of my dogs and they paid out well. The coverage is excellent! If you decide to go with this company please give them my referral number PH 918 5100. Their phone number is 877-738-7237. They will help you decide which plan is best for you and your puppy.
