Your puppy will need items once you get him home. The following is a List of items that are recommended.

Crate or Kennel Box: these are NOT mean items. Your puppy will use this item well into adulthood. A crate is a safe place for your puppy, not only keeping them out of harm’s way from things left out while you are not home but is also considered a “safe” place to your puppy when they are feeling overwhelmed.

Kennel Pad: To place inside the crate or kennel box, no one likes hard plastic to lay on. They prefer a soft one like fleece rather than vinyl.

Bowls: Your puppy will need a food bowl and a water bowl.

Food: I will provide a small bag to get you by, but you will need another one in a few days…if you would like to plan ahead, the puppies are fed Science Diet Puppy.

Martingale collar and leash: . I do not recommend harnesses or regular collars. Your puppy and adult can get out of these, leaving the dog free wherever you are walking it. Slip leads and martingales are best for whippets.

Blanket: Whippets love to snuggle, and “get under” blankets. The fuzzier the better.

Toys: Your puppy would love some toys to play with either alone or with you. Make sure they are big enough that they cannot be swallowed.

When you pick up your puppy I highly recommend bringing paper towels and a blanket…BUT INSIST on a travel crate. Dogs when traveling must be crated. Maybe even a water/food bowl if you are traveling a long way, and of course your collar/leash.
