Getting a new puppy? What should I do to prepare for their arrival?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! What an exciting time. You would need to start by getting a high quality diet (I like the Purina Pro Plan diets though there are plenty to choose from). Also, a dog bed and toys will be important as well. I recommend that you check with your veterinarian to get him in for initiation of vaccines and to start other preventative care medications such as flea and tick preventatives and heartworm preventatives. Good luck and enjoy your pup!

Preparing for dog recovery: small crate cost & regular food?
That's cool that the recovery suit will work for her then. The cost of crates vary by location, so I would check costs in pet stores, as well as checking online sites that resell things (like Ebay if you have that in Bosnia & Herzegovina). You may be able to buy one second hand. Yes, she can eat her regular food :-)

Why does my new dog keep peeing inside? How can I potty train him?
I would start at the basics and crate train him. This means getting him and crate and leaving him in there when you cannot monitor him. When he is outside of his crate, I would take him outside every hour and then 30 minutes after he eats/drinks. I will put a few links below to help reteach him how to be potty trained. If he is really anxious in a crate, you may consider getting him a calming collar like adaptil and calming chews like composure or the prescription version composure pro. You could also set up the crate with some calming essential oils near by but you will need to get some that are proven to be safe for dogs. Check out DoTerra oil or www.oilyvet.com I hope this helps! https://www.petco.com/content/petco/PetcoStore/en_US/pet-services/resource-center/new-pet/Puppy-and-Dog-Crate-Training.html https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/pets/dog-care/how-to-teach-your-dog-to-love-his-crate

My puppy pants indoors. How do I help her adjust to crated nights?
Congratulations on your new puppy. Some pups take a bit longer to adjust to their new homes, which isn't surprising as it is a big change! I recommend using a supplement to help with anxiety. Anxitane and Composure are two very safe options. Anxitane: https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3307+11260+27387&pcatid=27387 Composure: https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3307+11260+20934&pcatid=20934 You can also use Adaptil, which is a pheromone product to help with anxiety. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3307+11260+37236&pcatid=37236 Or, better yet, you can use Adaptil, and one of the supplements to help make Violet feel less anxious and safe in her new home. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My dog isn't crate trained. How to introduce a new dog safely?
I would recommend getting the other dog crate trained so when you are not home your new dog can be crated. I would not start crating Joe because you adopted another dog. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.
