Ok many of you know that we have been waiting for the arrival of our 2 lovely pups and as like an expecting Dad would be I'm excited but concerned that I've maybe missing something. Tomorrow is DD Day (2 Ds for 2 dogs ) and thought I'd ask any of the whippet owners out there if there is anything really essential that I should get?

I have all the bedding a massive cage, some toys, getting some porridge and goats milk today, some chicken wings, some mince, as well as Super Glue for our ornaments, large metal box for our shoes and a lock for daughters bedroom to protect her toys lol

Is there any supplements I should buy?

Would a complete puppy mix be ok to eat with the other foods or be too much? (Advice please have read alot in the FAQ pages and some feed a dry and raw mixture together is this ok or was i reading wrong? Please let me know)

I saw this food on ebay looked very reasonable priced and good nutritional analysis just wondered if anyone had tried it? for future reference

Get a good nights sleep tonight because you might have a couple of broken nights sleep :thumbsup:

I would find out what the breeder is feeding first and try to sick with that initially and gradually bring in your own food otherwise you may upset their tummies :x

Sorry don't know about the food on Ebay I haven't tried it I usually give weetabix or scrambled egg for brekkie

Then lunch and tea puppy food (tinned or pouches) with a bit of small bite mixer , with kane he's now gone onto raw like the girls insteadd of the tinned with a bit of veg and just a bit of mixer.

I personally don't feed complete with meat as it is high in protein i just use the veggies/pasta/rice and mixer with the meat but everyone has their own way :thumbsup:

Good luck for tomorrow and don't forget loads of pics :wub:

Batteries allready in stock lesley

Might go for a cricket box as well as the chainmail gloves (Never be too careful ehh lol)

Ahh yes the slippers Jack demolished a few of those then went on to pulling my socks off!!! Good idea batgirl

Yes super soaking kitchen towel, carpet cleaner and plenty of anti bact surface cleaner, nice one 4 that For the journey I have brought this car blanket which clips over the headrests of back and front seats which is waterproof and stops them slidding down the foot well. (good Idea I thought)

Pictures for you Lesley (Knows you love them)

Thanks

When i went and got Bean and her brother, i used shredded paper cause it sokes (sp) up the sick/wee and poo :x much better than a blanket

You will need a lockable box for socks and gloves as well, ours always seem to find them from somewhere.
