You seem like a last minute type person. It is not easy to own a dog the proper way and be a last minute person. Learn to plan far in advance before you get a dog. I am not trying to be mean, but owning a dog isn’t a walk in the park.
You will need to do some research on the breed and how to properly choose a pet! Where are you getting this dog that will give it to you on a days notcie? A shelter? Even then they won’t alwys just hand it over! A good breeder or shelter will make sure you are 100% prepared before giving you a dog, if that isn’t the case than run away from the dog later from somewhere else because you want support if you don’t already know those things.
If this is from a pet store- Google "puppy mill". Thats where they get their dogs, maybe just some small scale bad breeder, but mostly mills.
depends i am wondering where you are Buying this shiz tzu. Um if its a puppy shop than don’t buy a puppy, unless you are getting a dog from a qualified breeder than your waisting your time and money. Also you should be prepared way before one day before. but collar leash, crate, food (a good food not dog chow), bowls
Bed
Small crate (not too big or they will mess in it)
collar (with two finger spacing between it and their neck)
leash
puppy pads or bi hourly walks
dog food
dog bowls
make a vet appt for a check up
a blanket or stuffed bed to stay warm
toys and bones if its a baby (they teeth)
You should do a little reserch first.
but these things are important
Crate
Food and food Bowl
Warm Blanket
Toys
Puppy Food
Brush
Collar with a tag & Lead
Something of yours you no longer wear so that he can smell you and lay it down in the crate.
Also toys and some stuff to chew on
A date to visit the vet to get shots and all of that good stuff
By the way puppys sleep a lot
I just got a puppy for my first time over this last summer and this is all stuff you got to do.
I hope everything goes well
