Pet Supplies
It is so exciting bringing a new “furbaby” home! To make the transition easier for you, here are the things that I recommend you need to prepare for your fur baby’s arrival home!
I have enclosed my Amazon affiliate links for you to shop with.
Crate Best choice with 2 doors ****** https://amzn.to/3R3dwGC
First, and very important is the crate. This is like your puppy’s crib. No one would ever think of letting a baby crawl around, possibly put dangerous things in their mouth, fall off a bed, etc. This is your puppy’s safe space to play and sleep. If you are not actively monitoring your puppy, the safest place is the crate. It is recommended that you put the crate in your bedroom, so you are near the puppy and it is not alone.
Recommended size for a Miniature dachshund is the 24 inch size (Dimensions-24 length x 18 width x 19 height inches). I prefer the double door version, but you can decide based upon where you are keeping the crate in your home. This is the easiest way to housetrain your pup. Puppies do not like to soil where they sleep. You should put the blanket and some toys in the crate, so they associate it with a positive place. Please note that they may have accidents, so you may want to have additional blankets or a dog bed to switch while one is being washed.
Some people like to cover their pup to give them quiet time. A crate cover is a good choice.
Crate cover is optional https://amzn.to/4eCeyTf
Must have-
Dog beds for dog crate and another for the floor https://amzn.to/4eufj0x

Puppy play area– you don’t want your pup chewing wires and dangerous items. Additionally, the puppy gate around their crate helps with house breaking. You need the 8 panel 24inches high version.

FLEA/TICK prevention
Fleas and Ticks are annoying and frustrating but the chemicals we are putting on our dogs are harmful to both our pups and wildlife.
If you are interested, please read this from Forbes- very enlightening!
https://www.forbes.com/sites/arleneblum/2025/07/31/your-pets-topical-flea-treatments-harm-wildlife/
I do not believe in using flea drops and/or flea/ tick oral medications. These drops are toxic. IMO there are other less toxic solutions. I happily recommend these FurLife pendants or collars.
