Preparing for your Puppy
Bringing a new puppy home is an exciting, heartwarming, and incredibly special time. It's the moment when your family grows by four furry little paws, and the adventure you've been eagerly anticipating finally begins. At Rocky Creek Kennel, we understand just how monumental this time is, and we're here to help you prepare for it.

What to bring...
If final payment need to be made-only CASH or Credit card (fees apply) is accepted at time of pick up.
Final payment can also be made by paying through PayPal or sending a check 2 weeks prior to your pick.
Travel crate if you wish. Many hold their puppies on their way back home, if they have others in the car to help them. Holding the pup will help it with the stress of traveling.
Cleaning supplies-puppies are known to get car sick so having some paper towels, old towels, wipes, and plastic bags to dispose in are what we recommended.

Lifes Abundance - Canned Food
Lifes Abundance - Ultra Pure Omega Fish Oil

Within the First Week
Schedule a vet visit within the first week of bringing your new pup home. This visit is crucial for establishing a health baseline and discussing vaccinations and future healthcare plans. Quality healthcare is as important to us as it is to you.
Lastly, prepare for lots of love, laughter, and learning. Puppies bring an immeasurable amount of joy into our lives, but they also require patience and understanding. Remember, they're learning about their new world just as much as you're learning about them.

Healthy, Happy Puppies
Imagine this: the day has finally arrived. You're on your way to pick up your new bundle of joy. The anticipation is palpable, but so are the nerves. Will you have everything ready? Will your new pup feel comfortable and safe? Rest assured, these feelings are normal, and we've got some tips to help you navigate through them.
Firstly, create a welcoming environment. Your home is about to become their home. Dedicate a space just for your new puppy – a corner with a cozy bed, toys, and a water dish. This will be their safe haven, a place they can retreat to when they need some quiet time.
Next, stock up on essentials. Puppies, much like babies, require certain necessities. Quality puppy food, a sturdy leash, a collar with an ID tag, grooming supplies, and plenty of chew toys should be at the top of your list. Also, remember to puppy-proof your home. Keep anything harmful or valuable out of their reach.
Our Promise
At Rocky Creek Kennel, we don't just breed puppies; we're here to guide you through every step of your journey. From the moment you choose your new family member to the day you bring them home, and beyond. We believe in providing not just quality puppies, but a quality experience filled with care, support, and warmth.
Greetings from M. Lynn Osborne, your dedicated Independent Field Representative at www.lifesabundance.com/rockycreek. I'm here to help you prepare for the exciting journey of bringing your new puppy home.
As promised, I'm sending you a schedule to help you get things in order and start thinking about your new daily routine. It outlines every activity, from feeding to play times, every two hours starting from 6 am until 10 pm. CLICK HERE FOR THE SCHEDULE
To give you an idea, feeding times are set at 6 am, 12 noon, and 4 pm. Potty trips outside begin at 6 am and continue every two hours. This regularity helps your puppy adapt quickly and comfortably to their new surroundings. If puppy doesn't go potty, they are returned to the crate for 20 minutes. Repeat the process; when they go, they get playtime.
Additionally, I'll provide a flyer about NuVet at pickup, but in the meantime, you can visit https://www.nuvet.com/89119 to learn more.
Please note that all our puppies are accustomed to NuVet POWDER.
We believe in the power of quality and care, hence we offer an extended health guarantee if your puppy continues on both NuVet and Life's Abundance Products. However, to track this and maintain the guarantee, it's essential that these products are ordered through our provided links. 👉 CLICK HERE TO VISIT OUR NUTRITION & SUPPLEMENTS PAGE. 👈
Remember, we're not just here to provide you with a pet; we're here to ensure that you have the support and resources needed for a smooth transition. We're in this journey together, every step of the way.
