We’re preparing to bring home an 8 week English Lab at the end of this month, and have been wondering about the appropriate size for a dog bed. Is it better to buy a full sized dog bed and let the puppy grow into it, or buy a smaller dog bed and size up as the dog grows?

Your article was so helpful, thanks!

This was very helpful. We are getting our first lab puppy, 10 weeks old in 2 weeks. So excited. It’ll be the 1st dog my 12 yr has had and he’s been begging for a dog for years now. Finally! yeah

It is so important to me to have a well behaved dog. I will be having obedience trainer come to the house right away.

The list was helpful and informative. Appreciate it!

Thanks again.

In reply to Kelly. Absolutely, it is a very good idea to let them sleep together the first couple of nights. And also depending on how they react to being separated you might want to start by separating them for only a couple of minutes/hours, until they don't have a problem sleeping alone. good luck with your new pups!

We are getting two puppies, a brother and sister who have been inseparable since birth. Can we let them sleep together in the same crate the first night or two while they get used to their new home? I was thinking we could transition to two crates right next to each other after that…

In reply to Rick Sander. Yes, we take our puppies to the vet the first week they come home. When we raise a litter we take the litter in for a vet check at around 7 weeks old and they get a vet check certificate when they go home with their new owners.

Do you recommend taking the puppy to a vet the first week they come home?

In reply to Betina. Yes, I always take my puppy to the vet the first week they are home to check and make sure the puppy is healthy.
