The essentials for welcoming a puppy home

Welcoming a puppy is a magical moment, filled with excitement and affection. But to ensure their integration goes smoothly, it's essential to anticipate their needs. Here's a complete list of accessories and tips to help you prepare for their arrival with peace of mind.

🏡 A space of his own: sleeping and relaxation

A puppy needs a lot of sleep to grow well. He needs a cozy, calm and reassuring place:

• A soft cushion or rug : suitable size, easy to wash
• A cushion with edges for a reassuring cocoon effect
• A foldable or waterproof mat if you want to move it

At Noble Truffe, we recommend: Soft cushion with edges Anti-slip and waterproof mat

🍽️ Bowls and hydration

Upon arrival, your puppy will need to eat and drink from its own containers:

• Two bowls (food + water) made of healthy materials
• A water bottle for your first outings
• An anti-slip mat under the bowl to keep the area clean

🚪 Leash, collar and first steps outdoors

Even if the first few weeks are often spent indoors, you should anticipate:

• An adjustable and lightweight puppy collar
• A short or adjustable leash for outings
• A soft harness if your puppy is very small or sensitive

Tip: Choose a lightweight leash with a padded handle for added comfort.

🪴 Games, stimulation and boredom buster

A puppy needs to exercise even at home. Provide a variety of toys:

• Chew toys (soft rubber or rope)
• Plush toy with a whistle for reassuring comfort
• Treat dispensing ball for mental stimulation
