Getting Ready for Your New Family Member
Everything You Need to Know Before Your Puppy Arrives
Bringing a Frenchie home is such an exciting milestone, but it does take some prep work. We want to make sure you and your new puppy are ready for the big day, so we have put together some advice to help make the transition from our home to yours as smooth as possible.
Practical Puppy-Proofing
Setting Up a Safe Space
Before your Frenchie walks through the door, you will want to make sure your home is safe for an inquisitive puppy. Do a quick walkthrough to tuck away loose cords, set up baby gates where needed, and move any houseplants that might be toxic. It is also a great idea to set up a quiet spot with a comfortable crate so your puppy has a dedicated place to retreat and feel safe while they get used to all the new sights and sounds.
Essentials for Daily Life
Picking the Right Gear
You do not need every gadget on the market, but having the right basics ready makes life much easier. We recommend starting with high-quality puppy food, durable stainless steel bowls, and a harness that fits securely for walks. Do not forget plenty of sturdy chew toys—they will keep your puppy busy and help save your furniture while they are in the teething stage.
Confidence Through Consistency
Establishing a Routine
Puppies do best when they know what to expect. It helps to have a plan for feeding times, potty breaks, and naps before you even bring them home. Having this structure in place from day one helps your Frenchie settle in faster, reduces their anxiety, and makes the whole bonding process a lot more enjoyable for everyone.
Preparing for Your New Family Member
Why getting ready early makes all the difference
Preparing your home is about more than just logic; it's about making your puppy feel safe the moment they walk through the door. By setting things up ahead of time, you cut down on stress for both of you, letting your puppy focus on settling in and bonding with you instead of worrying about their new surroundings.
Puppy-Proof Your Home
Tuck away loose electrical cords, set up baby gates, and move any toxic houseplants out of reach. Frenchies are naturally curious, so making the space safe now will save you from worry once they start exploring.
Create a Quiet Retreat
Set up a high-quality crate with comfortable bedding in a quiet corner of your home. This gives your puppy a dedicated safe spot where they can relax and feel secure while they adjust to their new life.
Stock Up on the Basics
Have your puppy food, stainless steel bowls, and a well-fitting harness ready before your puppy arrives. Being fully stocked from day one means you won't have to leave your new companion's side for last-minute store runs.
