- Safe chew toys
- A soft brush and nail trimmers
- A vet appointment within the first week
Good habits from day one
Before they come home
Puppy-proof your home, choose a vet, and set up a crate in a quiet spot. A crate, collar, leash, bowls and a few safe chew toys are all you need on day one.
Food
Our dogs are raised on a holistic diet of raw and kibble food, and we proudly feed Fromm and Bravo. Your puppy goes home with food to keep the first weeks consistent.
Vaccinations
We follow a minimal-vaccination approach. We'll go over your puppy's records and schedule with you, and your vet can help plan what comes next.
Exercise & growing joints
Puppies' growth plates are still developing, so keep exercise gentle: short walks, free play on soft ground, and no forced running or repetitive jumping until they're fully grown.
Crate & leash
Every Absoloot puppy has already started crate and leash training. Keep sessions short and positive, and build on what they've learned.
Socialization
Our puppies have met many people, places and situations. Keep introducing new experiences calmly and kindly through their first months.
Grooming
Aussies have a double coat. Brush weekly (more when shedding), trim nails regularly, and keep ears clean.
