Your Puppy's First Night Home!

Updated: May 31, 2022

Congratulations on your new puppy!


Bringing a new furry friend into your home is always a special occasion. However, it can also be a bit overwhelming, especially if you're not sure what to do. In this post, we will outline everything you need to know to make your puppy's first night at home a success.


From housetraining tips to how to create a safe environment for your pet, we have got you covered. So read on and get ready to welcome your new best friend into the family!



The first thing you need to do is create a comfortable and safe place for your puppy to sleep.


This could be a crate or a dog bed in a quiet corner of the house. If you are using a crate, make sure it is big enough for your puppy to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably.


You should also line the bottom of the crate with blankets or towels to make it extra cozy. Put some of your puppy's favorite toys inside as well, so they have something to comfort them during their first night away from their littermates.

Next, think about housetraining.


It is important to start off on the right foot with this one!


One way to set your puppy up for success is to take them out for frequent potty breaks during the day. When it is time for bed, take them out one last time before putting them in their crate or dog bed for the night. This will help to avoid any accidents during the night.



In addition to a comfortable place to sleep and regular potty breaks, your puppy will also need food and water.


Puppies need to eat more often than adult dogs, so be sure to allow your pup to eat 3 - 4 times during the day, and put out plenty of water for your pet.


It is also a good idea to put the food and water bowls in their sleeping area so they can easily access them during the night if they get hungry or thirsty.

Last but not least, remember that your puppy is going to be scared and unsure of its new surroundings. So it is important to give them plenty of love and attention during their first night home.


Spend some time playing with them, cuddling them, and just letting them get used to you and their new home. With a little patience and preparation, you can make your

puppy's first night a success!
