Maltese Puppy Supplies 

This is my list of the basic necessities you will want to have on hand when your Maltese puppy comes home.  Your trainer may have additional items, as there are many other helpful and fun products available.   

Pro Plan Small Breed Puppy Food and healthy treats (Eukanuba and Pro Plan have several types)   

Stainless-steel non-tipping food and water bowls (won't break or absorb odors). 

I.D. Tags with the contact information for yourself and your veterinarian   

A “breakaway” collar and a 6-foot leather or nylon leash   

An airline approved home and travel crate (your first one will come with the puppy if he or she is shipped). This crate will serve as your puppy's new "den" at home, when traveling or riding to the veterinarian's office. His scent in the crate will provide comfort and a sense of security during these stressful times.  

Dog shampoo (I like the hypoallergenic kind) toothbrush and paste.

Brushes and combs (a slicker brush is the type I use most)

Cleanup supplies such as a stain remover, paper towels, deodorizing spray (Natures Miracle is a good one)   

Chew Toys, nail clippers

An exercise pen for assistance in crate training (I recommend placing the puppy in the pen in a place where you want the puppy to potty for life.  When you take him outside, carry him and place him in the pen so he doesn’t go anywhere else.  Do this for a week or two and that will become his primary restroom.)  Another recommendation is to place your pen somewhere in mulch or someplace not in the grass so you do not have to clean the spot every time you mow in the summertime. These exercise pens are a necessity and can be found at Pet Edge (link shown below).
