A PRACTICAL GUIDE FROM PETVENTORY
Prepare the home before arrival
Set up a quiet resting area, check gates and doors, move wires and chemicals out of reach, and choose suitable equipment. A calm arrival is more useful than an enormous pile of toys.
Plan the first week
Agree on feeding, rest, toilet opportunities and gentle introductions with the household. Arrange veterinary registration and follow an individual vaccination and socialisation plan.
Frequently asked question
Do I need every item before collection?
No. Start with safety, food, rest, transport and hygiene; purchase optional extras when you understand your puppy’s needs.
