    Set yourself and your new puppy up for success right from the start

Set yourself up for success with your new puppy right from the start

Adopting a new puppy is a big event. Even for people who have had experience of puppies in the past, it is easy to forget the challenges and to feel overwhelmed and out of control when faced with the realities of bringing up a puppy. Good advance planning will help you to greet your new arrival knowing that you have everything organised and that you have plans in place to deal with your puppy with confidence. The more organised you are when your puppy arrives, the more you can enjoy those wonderful early weeks together with the minimum of stress and worry.

The FIDO Puppy Information Pack contains everything you need to know and thoughts on what to do when planning for the arrival and enjoying the early weeks of adopting a new puppy. I will do my best to make sure that you have the best experience possible with your new companion to set you both up for a great life together.
