Puppy prep

Ok, I'm not getting a corgi just yet but I want to make sure I have everything I need for when I do bring them home.

Pet Pen - 60.6" L 22.8" W 23.6" H
An indoor grass dog potty
Puppy leash and 2 different sized bell collars
Soft puppy pillow/bed
Food/water bowls
Baby gate for the kitchen
Some rubber chew toys
and a Vet.

I still need shampoo but not sure what kind to get, or puppy food/treats that corgis need. Also if there's anything I missed please tell me. Thank you!

He also is the one who takes care of our cats when we are on vacation. Many years ago we got stuck 60 miles from home due to a freak spring snow storm and he was able to feed the dogs and let them out that night and in the morning.

Comment by Holly on November 23, 2013 at 10:23am: I also have an adult that was rehomed, but one thing that saved me some stress and actually saved us trouble at least once was finding a good, reliable dog sitter who could be counted on to have a key to your home and would be able to go in to check on your pup if you are stuck or running late. It is such a relief to know someone can take her out, feed her, or just check on her if there was ever a problem and she was crying loudly or God forbid there was a fire. I try to let a neighbor know if Sully is home alone just in case. Once I was stuck in traffic leaving Cape Cod. I would have panicked without a plan B. I have also left her overnight with a neighbor for a small fee when I knew I would be late at a party. The sitter is a neighbor she knows and sees often. Very helpful.

MHO...I do not like the idea of an indoor grass dog potty. To me it just makes complete potty training harder. Puppy pee pads are one thing but teaching them to use an indoor grass spot doesn't help them get the idea that they need to do their business outside not in the house. I'm sure there are others who have used it successfully and they can give you pointers on how to use it. This just my opinion having raised my share of puppies.

Good treats, food and toys I will let someone who has raised a corgi puppy answer. All 3 of my corgis have been adult rehomings.
