Premium Puppy Team 25 February 2026 5 min read
The first week with a new puppy is exciting — and a little overwhelming. A bit of preparation helps your puppy feel safe and settle into its new home quickly. Here’s your essential checklist.
Before Your Puppy Arrives
Set up these essentials before bringing your puppy home:
- A comfortable bed and a quiet resting area.
- Food and water bowls, plus age-appropriate puppy food.
- A collar, leash and ID tag.
- Safe chew toys and puppy-proofed rooms.
The First Few Days
Keep things calm and let your puppy explore at its own pace. Establish a routine for feeding, toilet breaks and sleep. Gentle, consistent handling builds trust quickly.
Health and First Vet Visit
Schedule a vet visit in the first week to confirm your puppy’s health and vaccination status. Premium Puppy provides vaccinated, health-screened puppies, so you start off on the right paw.
