Before I bring Lua home, is there anything else I need to buy?
I have:
1 wire crate, divider in place and mat/blankets inside.
2 baby gates
1 hard, plastic carrier
1 soft carrier
1 travel bag
2 puppy play pens
Her main collar, plus I think 6 extras
5 leashes, plus a leash that attaches to waist and one extendable leash
6 harnesses
1 first aid kit
1 bottle of Nutri Cal
1 bottle of Chew Stop
1 Brush
1 Toothbrush/Toothpaste
1 food bowl
1 water bowl
1 placement mat
1 bath mat
1 set of nail clippers (with Kwik stop powder)
Bag of Blue Buffalo puppy food
1 food storage container
2 dog coats for winter potties
1 bed
50+ toys (I’m going to rotate them, 5 at a time) (This includes about 10 KONG brand toys)
1 car seat with seatbelt attachment
Various treats, including KONG stuffing
ID tag with her name and my phone number
Is there anything I forgot? And don’t say I went overboard, I already know. Lol. Most of the stuff I have extras in I got from garage sales for very cheap. And I’ve been accumulating this stuff since April, because I knew I’d be getting a Chihuahua sometime this year.
@Onyx — Lol now that you mention it, I totally forgot to pick those up at Petco the other day. Oops.
@UHave2BeKiddingMe — Is the ex pen the same thing as a play pen? I have 2 play pens, one is a plastic one that is square shaped and the other one is fabric that pops open, but it’s very big. I plan to take that one to my campground next summer so when I’m eating or something, she’ll have somewhere safe to go. It has a top on it so a hawk can’t get her… Or stupid kids that go there can’t grab her. (LOL)
@Rachel — Haha, I know. ;P I forgot some things on that list. Oops, I knew that would happen. I do have dog shampoo, it’s TropiCAL (the best kind you can get without actually going to a groomer’s supply outlet… that’s what I heard at least.). I have doggy bags, and I’m waiting to get the open treats like bones and Bully sticks until a little closer to her take home date. My best friend is really into dogs as well and she promised me a few bully sticks as a new puppy present LOL. I’m deciding between two vets.. Errgh. But yes, I’m planning on getting laminate sheets and putting contact info of me, vet, and breeder and keeping them in first aid kit and car kit. I have paper towels and Nature’s Miracle cleaner ready. (The 1.5 gallon jug! LOL) Oh, and I do have a treat pouch. Haha I just couldn’t stop buying things!
Thank you! I am very excited. :] I actually get to go visit her today, she’s 6 weeks! (I go and see her every 2 weeks since my breeder lives 2 hours away)
