The first few days with a new puppy set the tone for everything that follows. A little preparation means the puppy settles faster and you spend less time running to the pet shop for things you forgot.
Book a vet check early to confirm vaccinations and worming, and get your puppy microchipped if they aren't already. Start a simple routine for meals, toilet breaks and sleep — puppies thrive on predictability, and a consistent routine is the fastest path to a house-trained dog.
