What are the basic supplies that I need to prepare when bringing home a pug puppy aside from a crate and food?

Hi,
Make sure you get him some things he can call his own! Get him a comfy blanket that he will grow attached too, to comfort him in his crate when you're not home. Get him a toy and give that toy a name, and keep repeating the toys name to him when you play. Get him something good to chew on, a small "kong" to fill with his fave treats (my dog likes a marrow bone and I fill it with different things) Another thing that some people suggest is a clock to mimick their mum's heartbeat for the first while. Find out as much as you can on the internet, books etc. too about their breed.

And of course lotsa love and kisses... and you're probably good to go! :)

Please don't forget, when puppies are that young, they have not yet been fully vaccinated for common, and some times deadly diseases. Don't be in a hurry to mix your dog with other dogs, or take him/her to public places where other infectious dogs may have been. Even when going to the vet, I highly suggest a crate, or carry the dog, do not let them walk on the floors, or put them on the counters. I love to camp and would not even take my dogs with us until their shots were complete. Be sure to puppy proof your home (your puppy will soon show you what this means) and keep all cleaners, pills, etc out of the puppies reach. Chew toys are great, but keep in mind a strong chewer can break off pieces and swallow them.. really watch your puppy and see how strong a chewer he/she is.. as well as whether it spits out the chewed part, or tries to eat it. Good luck and enjoy your new baby!

I have also found this site very helpful with training and tips on new puppies. You might want to check it out. Adams Dog Training and Dog Behavior (http://www.dogproblems.com) It's not just a site about problems, but does help with that part too.

I wouldn't recommend a blanket while initially crate training. (could be messy!) Make sure the crate can be adjusted while your pup is growing. You want them to have just enough room to comfortably stretch out, stand, turn around... any extra room can become the "bathroom". Also, make sure you use a collar and leash early so your dog will adjust quickly. A small kong with some of his puppy food and maybe just a touch of peanut butter can help pass the time and relieve anxiety when your pup is crated. Be careful not to introduce too many foods (even treats) or kong fillers, they can upset a young pup's digestive system. Read through all of Labman's sticky at the top of the page! He's included some wonderful info to get you and your new pup off to a great start!
ENJOY!
