At Petit Bijou, our goal is not only to produce beautiful, healthy puppies, but to help each puppy transition successfully into their new home and family.

The first few weeks after bringing a puppy home are extremely important. Puppies thrive on consistency, familiar routines, and positive experiences. For this reason, we strongly recommend continuing with many of the same products, feeding routines, training methods, and environments our puppies are already accustomed to here in our home.

The items listed below are products we personally use with our own dogs and puppies every day. These recommendations are intended to help make your puppy’s transition as smooth, comfortable, and successful as possible.

This includes:

• Puppy pens and safe play areas

• Food and feeding supplies

• Puppy pads and potty training tools

• Beds and blankets

• Grooming products

• Toys and enrichment items

• Harnesses, leashes, and travel items

• Supplements and wellness products

• Training and socialization tools

While every family may have their own preferences, starting with familiar products can help reduce stress, encourage confidence, support potty training, and create consistency for your new puppy.

We hope this guide helps you feel prepared and excited as you welcome your new family member home.
