What to Expect When Your Puppy Comes Home
I put a lot of thought into how my puppies leave, because I want you set up for success from day one.
Here is everything you can expect:
Health and Veterinary Care
Before any puppy leaves my home, they've been seen by my vet and cleared with a health certificate. They go home with their first set of vaccinations and already started on Interceptor Plus, which covers heartworm and intestinal parasites. Every puppy is microchipped, included with the microchipping is 30 days of free Trupanion pet insurance so you're covered right out of the gate. I try my best to think of everything new puppy owners might need.
Health Testing
All dogs in my breeding program, whether a breeding adult or a puppy, are tested for several disorders. You’ll have full access to all the results of your puppy, plus their parents. They include:
- Basic heart function
- Patellas
- Eyes
- Full genetic panel
Potty Pad Training
My puppies go home potty pad trained. It makes such a difference in those first few days — your puppy already knows what to do, you're just keeping it going.
The Puppy Pack
Every puppy goes home with a loaded puppy pack — and I mean loaded! I put it together myself because I want you to have everything you need from the moment you walk out the door.
Inside very puppy pack, you'll find a selection of goodies to get your puppy started off the right way:
- A travel crate
- A blanket or bed with scents from our home to help them settle in
- A puppy harness and fashion collar
- A travel bowl
- Potty pads
- Poop bags
- A bully stick and a toy
- A comb
- A syringe of Nutri-Cal
- Their current food and meal mixers so their diet stays consistent
Note: Some items may change due to availability.
Health Guarantee
I 100% back every puppy I place. Every single one. When you pick up your puppy, you agree to have them examined by a licensed veterinarian within three (3) business days. If, at that exam, the veterinarian determines that the puppy is ill, and you decide you'd like to return them, I require a second opinion and statements from both vets.
Questions about the guarantee? Just reach out — I'm happy to talk through it anytime.
After You Go Home
I don't disappear once your puppy leaves — that's just not how I do things. I'm always available for questions about food, training, grooming, behavior, or anything else that comes up. And honestly, the photo updates are my favorite part. Please keep them coming!
