Puppy Preparation!
Pawtree dog Food recommendations
Order your dog food at least 3 weeks prior to bringing home your puppy.
We recommend two starter kits as great options for your puppy. They will qualify for free shipping when you click EZ ship. To give you an idea on shipping times, the food should come in about 7 days, depending on your location. Unfortunately, small businesses do not have the resources of Amazon to send food in a day or two, but we prefer to support small businesses and companies that produce quality products when possible.
The best valued option to start is the Ultimate Puppy Starter Kit.
Ultimate Puppy Starter Kit The Ultimate Kit has all of the products we recommend for going home. From food, to treats, to dental care, to healthy skin and a luxurious coat, to upset tummies, to doggie walks and accidents -- this Ultimate Puppy Starter Kit has got it all! Top it off with our famous delicious and nutritious pet food seasonings, and your pup is all set! Perfect for pet parents who don't want to worry about anything except cuddling and playing with their new BFF!
The Puppy Starter Kit is another good option to purchase for your puppy! This kit comes with food, pawpairings seasoning, wild Alaskan Salmon and Pollock Oil, and Urine Eliminator, Stain and Urine Removal.
Real Chicken & Sweet Potato Recipe here is the food only option. For a small puppy you will only need the 10 lb bag. The food looks expensive, but that bag will last you about 2-4 months (depending on the size of your puppy), so it costs about $10-25 a month to feed your puppy.
pawPairings I LOVE pawPairings! You don’t like to eat the same thing every day, and neither does your pet. They crave variety, but changing their food daily leads to upset tummies. pawPairings Superfood Seasoning allows you to give your pet a different taste sensation at every meal WITHOUT stomach upset! pawPairings is a delicious topper you sprinkle on their food that adds a boost of delicious nutrition and variety to every meal. Varieties include delectable, freeze-dried proteins – many single-source (either meat, poultry or fish) and a concentrated source of 8 fruits and vegetables that are truly Yappetizing! Now you can easily change up their meals every day. So give your pets a break and just shake, shake, shake! pawPairings are an easy way to reduce boredom at mealtime. Each variety is a perfect “pairing” for your pet’s food – ANY food! Your pets will enjoy the different taste sensations, and you’ll enjoy “making” their meals! Just sprinkle some on and watch them run to the bowl. It’s that easy! This is included in the Ultimate Puppy Starter Kit.
Gastro Pro Plus is a complete combination of probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes and herbs that support proper digestion and bowel health. When puppies go home they experience stress because they are leaving their mom, litter mates, and the only home they have ever known. Stress can induce diarrhea and other behaviors like not eating. Continuing the same dog food and Gastro Pro Plus will help with this transition. This is included in the Ultimate Puppy Starter Kit.
Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil might be the most beneficial supplement for your young puppy. It’s proven that puppies who consume salmon oil for the first 16 weeks of their life will have 75% better problem-solving skills. It is a super food for brain development! Not to mention it can assist with dry, itchy skin, allergies, and shedding. This is included in the Ultimate Puppy Starter Kit
Core 4 If you knew that just a few key products could take care of nearly 80% of the top reasons for vet visits, wouldn't you want to know what they were? It just takes a little prevention to keep them healthy. This solution set is your answer to keeping your BFF thriving! This set includes; Wild Alaskan Salmon and Pollock Oil, Joint Support Plus, Gastro Pro Plus, and CBD Mega.
Snailed It! During crate training, your puppy will need to see the crate as a rewarding and positive experience. We recommend pawTree Snailed It! Add peanut butter, or plain greek yogurt, and anything else that your dog might like in these snails and freeze it. Purchase at least two of them so you can always have one in the freezer ready and waiting. This will be a blessing for you. It is certainly a MUST have.

New Puppy Supplies
* Snuggle Puppy- If you purchase, bring this item to Go Home Day so I can rub mom's/litter mate's scent on it. Puppies love this item, and with the added heart beat/warming packet, it really helps them sleep better at night and brings comfort to them their first few nights in their new home. I will also be sending a blanket home with these scents as well.
* Harness for walks- I prefer harnesses over regular dog collars. In my opinion, they learn to walk on a leash a lot better in this hold. Petite/Small would be the size I would start off with.
* Crate- All Lifestages, and use the divider. Start off by making this space small. The more room they have in it, the more they will use that spare space for accidents.
* Bed- You may want to wait until your puppy is out of the chewing phase to invest in a nice bed, but these beds are best for preventing hip issues. Our trainer recommends this type of bed as well for “place.’
* Brush- I've tried every brush under the sun to avoid buying this expensive one. Nothing compares to it. If you want to stretch groomings to 8-10 weeks in duration as opposed to 6-8 weeks, brushing daily is a must.
* Chew Toys- Anything Nylabone, Benebone, Bullysticks, or Kong.......NO Rawhides.
