For those who have bought a pup from us:
To pick up your Schnauzer puppy:
- collar & lead (don’t expect them to walk on a lead, this is purely for safety)
- car harness (or crate)
From Day 1:
- food bowls – think stable, solid
- water bowls – again stable & deep to help keep it cool you may want to have food/ water bowls off the ground in stands which is what we do (metal tripod stands)
- beds
- crate
- toys
- food – Prime loaf, Blackhawk biscuits, homemade chicken/turkey mince with mashed pumpkin/ sweet potato
- healthy treats eg cooked chicken breast
Focus on training yourself and your family how to work with this Schnauzer pup to support them in continuing their growth into a healthy, strong, happy, well-adjusted dog 🙂
Start working on:
- a dog door
- who you’ll use for training support
- worming/ parasite plan
- next vaccination date
- socialisation plan
- grooming tools
- registering your Schnauzer with your local Council (needs to happen by 12 weeks of age).
