First time puppy owner?
Here are some things that I recommend having before bringing your puppy home.
Healthy dog food, treats and supplements are so important to the development and health of your puppy/dog. Click Here for my recommendations.
This type of food bowl keeps pups and dogs from flipping over their food or water. If pup is eating food too quickly, the puzzle/slow feeders are great too!
Crate training is great for helping with potty training. This should be a safe place for your puppy and they learn to like sleeping in their crate. Be sure to buy a size that they can use once they are grown. For standard size aussie that’s either 36” or 42” For miniature 30” and for toy size 24”. Most come with a divider.

It is important to have plenty of toys for your puppy to play and chew on.
Your preference of dog collar is fine, just stay away from the plastic type and be sure it is adjustable and don's leave it on puppy when in crate.
Dog Beds
Kuranda pet beds are orthopedic, chew proof, and easy to clean!
Choosing a comfortable and adjustable harness is a great tool for walking your puppy/dog.
A leash that is not too heavy and has a comfortable grip for you is a must have!
Puppy Training

​
Find a reputable veterinarian that is familiar with the breed. Make an appt. to bring your new puppy in within 72 hours of pick up date. Be sure to ask what he or she recommends for flea and tick prevention, heart-worm prevention, and vaccines. I personally only use the natural flea and tick spray from PawTree or the Seresto collar. I recommend Intercepter plus monthly tablets for heart worm prevention and intestinal parasites.
