Making a list

[Katherine]

Its only two weeks to go till we get our cocker puppy and we have to make a list of what we need to buy before he comes. We've never had a dog before so could you tell me if I'v left anything out. :wink:

Hi, an identification tag?

Insurance ready if using, some old towels for bedding, or a fleecy blanket, a soft collar to get him used to it. I also swear by that anti chew spray and a special cleaner for accidents to remove smells!

I bought all the bedding and towels I needed from the charity shops.

Hi Katherine

With regards to your Crate do check out Argos as they have a very good sized one which is ideal for a Cocker Pup and at a very reasonable price.  There are some on eBay as well but pot luck as to how good they are.

My friend got caught out and spent over £120 on a crate it was for her Bassets though  :roll: and the same weekend I picked one up at the Car Boot for £4 and the same size as the one my friend bought for £120 !!!

Hi Katherine, catch up on your sleep prior to getting your new baby as you will find the little mite will probably cry all night long for the first week like my Maggie did!!   :roll:        
I got my crate from Argos and it is great value for money compared to the size and price of those at the pet store.
Good luck and keep us all posted about your new addition
