There are many 'essentials' required for when your new pup arrives home! But you can save money on a bed. Until your pup reaches its adult size save your money for more important essentials!
[In another post I will make a list of important essentials to buy before you bring your new 'baby' home.]
Instead of investing in an expensive bed which your pup may resort to chewing just use a cardboard box.
Get a box with nice high sides, cut down and shape one of the long sides so that your pup can step into it easily, and use old towels or blankets to make the bed comfortable.
The box sides will keep out draughts and help keep your pup warm, just don't get a box which is too much bigger than the pup then it will seem nice and cosy to him or her. After all they will have just lost the warmth and comfort of their mother and their siblings.
Add a soft toy [made especially for dogs] for company. If your pup should have an accident, the bedding and toy can be washed and a new box supplied. Use bigger boxes as your pup grows.
