Bringing Your New Puppy Home
If you’re bringing home a new puppy, you’ll need to provide them with the essentials to help them develop into a happy, healthy and a well-adjusted dog.
BEFORE YOUR NEW PUPPY ARRIVES
Make sure you are prepared mentally and physically. Bringing a new puppy home is a BIG responsibility. We highly recommend researching the veterinarians in your area and scheduling your puppy exam as close to the date your new puppy will arrive.
Purchase some of the basic items every puppy will need to ensure a smooth transition.
Below are the puppy items we use and recommend at Brislin Chihuahuas.

Iris Pen
These light weight play areas are what we use to raise and train our puppies. While transitioning to your home these play pens will help your puppy claim it’s own “space” in your home~ for security and safety. It is also useful for wee wee pad training.
Purina Pro Plan Focus
SMALL BREED CHICKEN & RICE FORMULA
- High in protein, including chicken as the first ingredient, to meet the needs of highly active small dogs
- Bite-sized kibble helps make chewing easier for small dogs
- DHA from omega-rich fish oil helps nourish brain and vision development
- Rich in antioxidants to help support a puppy’s developing immune system
- Calcium, phosphorus and other minerals help build strong teeth and bone
Washable Wee Wee pads
Although many people use the disposable wee wee pads and have great success with them, we find using the washable human bed pads to be much better. Our puppies use the disposable pads as TEAR AND SHRED PADS… It seems to be their form of entertainment. In our home the human grade bed pads have solved all the issues of tearing and shredding. If you search AMAZON online, you can find the larger sizes that will fit right under the Iris pens at very reasonable price.
Water Bottles
Our puppies are trained using the spill proof water bottles. Not only does it keep puppies from dumping the water bowls, but it also keeps the water clean throughout the day. If you buy multiple water bottles you can freeze one the night prior to using on those hot days in the summer. Click HERE to take you to pages for water bottles. There are many types of water bottles offered on the internet, however these are the ones we use.
