Preparing for Your New Puppy 2

Bowls for water and food are needed for feedings.  One set will do and they don’t have to be fancy, just durable.  Place them in the area where puppy will regularly receive his meals, and try to keep to a feeding schedule and routine.  Again, read his bag of kibble, measure out the portions as indicated for size and breed for a day, and have the dry food at the ready for him. You puppy or new dog should NEVER be fed table scraps. Puppy will also need somewhere to sleep.  It may be cute the first few weeks to have puppy in the bed with you, but that can get rather annoying, especially if he soils in the house, and can often lead to mixed messages.     Puppy can toss and turn as he likes in his own bed.  Puppy may go through several beds before it’s all said and done, with chewing, pee and poo, and so on, so spending a lot on the first one is not advised.
