coton de tulear puppies

coton de tulear puppy in shoeWhen you are getting a puppy you need to think about 'do I want a puppy?' Here are some things to answer.


  1. do I like dogs?

  2. am I happy to pay vet bills?

  3. is the house big enough?

  4. do I have the time to walk it?

  5. do you know that you will have to pick your holidays so your dog can come or you will have to pay to put it in kennels?

  6. do all the people in the house want a dog?

If the answers are all 'yes' go on to stage two 'what to buy'.

getting what you need

  • bowls ( two)

  • collar and lead (make sure the collar can go small)

  • big fluffy toy (to snuggle up with a night)

  • good tug of war toy

  • good toy to throw ( balls are good)

  • we have cage which you can put the dog in at night and when he is going in the car

  • toy box

  • brush (for coton de tulears use a poodle comb)
  • harness ( good for family's that do a lot of walking)

  • food but make sure it's the food that your puppy eats at the breeders

  • chews
  • soft bedding

  • dog cutting scissors

  • collar tag
  • lots of dog books (go to coton de tulear books to find what books you need)
  • poo bags

  • puppy!
That is what you need to get a puppy. Read on to get puppy care tips, or go to bringing home a new puppy to know what to do when you have a puppy

puppy care tips
  • when doing a bath have lots of treats so your dog will like baths.

  • give your dog a good set of food. A good but smelly way to see if he is having good food is to have a look at his poo - if it is dark brown he is having a good diet.

  • Luigi is allergic to wheat. If he has it he scratches. Wheat is not good for your dog but most dogs can have it.

  • you will need lots of things - look at this list and go and get them

  • make sure that your dog cannot swallow a toy you buy

  • do not take your dog on too long walks. We did this and we got stuck with a dog who was not allowed to play or go on walks for 2 weeks because he had a sore leg.
I hope that this was good and helpful information .
