Puppy Supply List

Here are some items that you should consider when preparing for your new Frenchy puppy!  You may not need everything listed before your puppy arrives, but this list is intended to help you consider all your puppy's basic needs.

 

General:

-Paper towels (a lot of paper towels :)
-Old Towels for Crate
Once puppy is reliably crate trained, a "real" crate bed can be used.
-Old Blanket or Towel(s) to cover wire Crate
-Cotton balls for cleaning ears
-Acrylic (Fake) Nail file, cardboard with sandpaper type, for smoothing nails
-Hydrogen Peroxide (to induce vomiting, if necessary)
-100% Pure canned Pumpkin (from the baking isle of your grocery store)
Pumpkin is a good source of fiber. When puppy has diarrhea or constipation, a tablespoon or two with every meal for several days should help alleviate symptoms. Freeze excess in ice cube tray.
-Baby Gate(s)
Try baby supply stores - generally more choices and cheaper than pet stores (Beware that horizontal bars provide a foot-hold for climbing puppies. Also consider spacing between bars, as some times it is large enough for little puppies to get caught)


General from your Pet Supply Store:

-Life's Abundance Biodorizer Spray - Great for cleaning up after those little Accidents!

-Bitter Apple (bitter taste deters dogs from biting, licking, and chewing)
-Pooper Scooper & bags
-Food and water bowls (stainless steel or ceramic)
-Storage bin for dry food
-Adjustable Nylon collar w/plastic clasp
Newborn Frenchie puppies wear XS. Puppies between 8 weeks and 5 months wear a small. French Bulldogs that are 5       months -10 months usually wear a medium. Smaller breed dogs wear XS-M depending on breed and size.
-I.D. Tag
(e.g. See http://boomerangtags.com for their flat collar tags for adjustable collars!)
-6 foot (1.8 m) leash
-15 foot (4.6 m) or longer (up to 50 foot (15 m)) training leash(es)
-Wire Crate for crate training (Small-Medium)
