Inside Our Puppy Packs: Everything You Need for a Smooth Transition

Bringing home a new puppy is an exciting and life-changing experience! To make the transition as smooth as possible for both you and your new furry family member, we’ve carefully curated our Thistle Hill Siberians Puppy Packs with everything you need for their first few weeks at home.

🐾 What’s Included in Our Puppy Packs?

Each of our puppies goes home with a thoughtfully assembled puppy pack that includes:

✅ AKC & Microchip Registration – Your puppy’s AKC registration is prepaid, and we provide microchip documentation with instructions on transferring it into your name.

✅ Vet Records & Vaccination Schedule – A detailed record of vaccinations, deworming, and health checks to share with your veterinarian.

✅ Litter Certificate – A copy of the official litter certificate for your records.

✅ Handmade Blanket with Mom’s Scent – This special blanket carries the comforting scent of mom and littermates, helping your puppy adjust to their new home.

✅ Starter Food & Feeding Guide – We send you home with enough food for a gradual transition, along with a feeding schedule to prevent tummy troubles.

✅ Toys & Goodies – A few starter toys, training treats, and chews to keep your puppy happy and engaged.

✅ Comprehensive Welcome Guide – A binder with everything you need to know, from feeding schedules and training tips to socialization and vet care.

✨ Personal Touches & Thoughtful Details

We believe in making every puppy’s transition special, which is why we include personalized touches in our puppy packs. Whenever possible, we include paw prints from when they first started walking. If time allows, each puppy also receives a hand-crocheted blanket made by me, chosen to match their personality or coat color!

Our weekly professional photoshoots are another unique feature—families receive access to a beautifully curated album showcasing their puppy’s journey with us.

🏡 Setting Your Puppy Up for Success

To help your puppy settle in, we encourage families to:

📍 Introduce their crate early – Give your puppy a cozy and safe space to decompress. 📍 Stick to a consistent potty schedule – This helps build good habits right away 📍 Book their first vet appointment – Puppies need their next vaccinations at 10–12 weeks, so scheduling early is key! 📍 Register their microchip – Safety first! We provide instructions to ensure your puppy is properly registered.
