Dog & Puppy
Care Checklist
A puppy can be a wonderful addition to your household. They are fun, playful, and will quickly become a very
important member of your family. When selecting your puppy/dog remember your local animal shelter has a large selection of puppies/dogs
available for adoption.
Once you have chosen a puppy/dog, the most important thing to do for your new puppy/dog, is to take him/her to a veterinarian for a check-up and
shots. This is important for the future health of your pet. Once this has been accomplished, it is time to look at the necessary accessories to insure that your puppy grows into a healthy and happy
dog. Following is a list of suggested items for the care of your new pet.


_____ Dog Food
Petland Discounts offers a variety of premium pet foods to meet your dog's nutritional requirements from puppyhood to adulthood. Ask your sales person to recommend
the proper food for your dog.
_____ Skin and Coat
Food supplements containing such additives as linoleic acid and vitamins supplement the essential fatty acids and other
ingredients to make your dog's coat shiny and lustrous.
_____ Housing
House training is essential to making your puppy an accepted member of the family.
Dog training crates are the key to making this happen quickly and effectively. They also help to make your puppy feel safe
and secure in its new environment.

accident should occur while training is in progress.

meet the needs of you and your family.
