Puppy Checklist

A practical list for getting your home, supplies and handover questions ready for a Dachshund puppy.

Confirm the details before homecoming

  • Selected puppy’s name and current availability.
  • Written agreement, itemized price and reservation terms.
  • Pickup or delivery date, destination and handover contact.
  • Available records and any requirements in the health guarantee.

If you are still choosing, begin with the purchase process and puppy profiles.

Prepare everyday supplies

  • The puppy’s current food and feeding instructions.
  • Food and water bowls.
  • A comfortable bed and suitable resting area.
  • A secure travel carrier or appropriate transport restraint.
  • A properly fitted harness or collar, leash and identification.
  • Suitable puppy toys and cleaning supplies.
  • Grooming tools appropriate to the puppy’s coat.

Make your home easier to supervise

Set aside one calm area for the puppy to settle in. Put household chemicals, cables and small loose objects out of reach. Plan supervision around stairs, furniture, doors and other pets. Make sure each family member understands where the puppy rests and who handles meals and toilet breaks.

Questions to ask at handover

  • What food, amount and schedule is the puppy accustomed to?
  • What sleeping and toilet routines are familiar?
  • Which documents and supplies are included?
  • What handling and grooming has the puppy experienced?
  • Who should I contact with questions after arrival?

Plan the first week

Keep the New Owner Guide nearby. Agree on care responsibilities, allow time for rest and plan ongoing veterinary care using the puppy’s records. Read Dachshund Care for training, activity and coat-care considerations. Confirm any remaining travel questions through our contact form.

Clear answers to help you choose a puppy and plan homecoming.

Should I buy food before asking about the puppy’s routine?

What paperwork should I keep?

Keep the agreement, payment and travel confirmation, available care records and health terms together.

Do I need everything on day one?

Prioritize safe travel, water, familiar food, a resting area and supervision, then confirm the other supplies needed for your puppy.
