Getting a puppy is a very exciting time, but it can also be quite stressful!

Having a pet is a huge ~15 year+ commitment so it’s important that you’re as prepared as possible before bringing your new furry family member home. Below are a few things you need to keep in mind for your pup first hours, days, weeks and months.

It’s very exciting getting a new puppy but for the puppy it can be very stressful. Ensure you can spend at least a few whole days with the puppy.

Puppies chew, it’s how they investigate their world! Ensure you have appropriate chew toys ready for them. Put away items that you don’t want chewed and ensure that items such as household chemicals and electricity cables are safely stored away.

Allocate a specific area for the puppy and block it off with a puppy gate. This area needs to be calm and quiet so the puppy can settle in when it arrives home. Set up a crate with some soft bedding, water and food bowls and toys ready for your new arrival.

Be prepared for toilet training as accidents will happen. You can purchase puppy pads or use newspaper whilst your pup is learning to toilet appropriately.

When they are young, they may need to go in the middle of the night.

Signs that your pup may want to toilet include sniffing, whining or turning in circles. If toileting accidents happen, don’t punish your pup instead give lots of praise when they do toilet in the right place. Be patient and don’t rush the pup. Setting a toilet routine and introducing a word or phrase such as ‘go there!’ or ‘wee-wee time!’ will help your pup know when and where they should go.

Whilst everyone wants to meet and play with the puppy, it’s very important that the pup is not overwhelmed by lots of new people and excitement. Keep introductions to members of the household for the first few days and then slowly and calmly introduce a couple of new people every day.

It is very important that children are supervised at all times around puppies and dogs. Children need to be encouraged to be calm and gentle around your pup and not be too rough during playtime or tease the pup. Children should never disturb your pup or any dog when it is eating, drinking or sleeping.

Puppies can become easily scared which may affect their behaviour so involve children in how to correctly handle and train your pup.

Dogs thrive on routine so setting up a daily routine for your pup that works for you and your family will help settle your pup into its new life.

Puppies need to use their energy to grow so giving them structured exercise and play-time allows them to burn off their puppy excitement and investigate the world

Your pup will need sufficient rest time and frequent naps throughout the day; this is the time for growing! If your pup gets over tired it is more likely to behave inappropriately, so just like a toddler, they need their naps too. Take them to their bed and ignore all their attempts to continue playing and they will soon settle down.

Your pup has been started on a complete and balanced premium dry kibble food so it is best to continue with this diet when you get them home. If you want to change their diet, speak to your vet for advice on ensuring your pup receives the nutrition it needs to continue to grow into a healthy adult dog.

If you decide to change your pup’s diet then this should be done over a period of 7-10 days by gradually introducing the new food whilst decreasing the current food as this will help prevent your pup getting an upset tummy as their system adjusts to the new food.

Confetti Adds a Sprinkle of Happiness to Pete and Carly’s Family


When Pete and Carly met greyhound Confetti they knew she was the extra burst of colour and fun they wanted in their home.

The couple were looking for a dog to complete their family and Carly said Pete’s WA Police Union membership led them to the perfect pet.

Greyhounds as Pets will be visiting the SJ Farmers Market from 8am to 12pm this Saturday, 22 July from 8am to 12pm. Visit to meet some lovely greyhounds!

Priority greyhound adoption is being offered to WA Police Union members in a partnership with Racing and Wagering WA to support the physical and mental health of officers.


Greyhounds make great pets, they are quiet, well mannered, and very easy to live with. They are friendly, lazy, calm, affectionate, clean, loving, trusting, good-natured and very social.

Greyhounds require less exercise than people think, they also have very little odour and shed minimally. Head to our FAQ page for more greyhound myth busters!

Each dog who wears one of our green collars has been assessed by trained animal behaviourists. GAP is the only rehoming group in WA able to grant green collar status.
