Hello All! I hope everyone is having a lovely New Years eve!
We joined a while ago and have lurked and enjoyed all of your posts. We've spent lot's of time soaking up all of the information provided here while we awaited the birth of our Newfie baby. Saturday is the day we get to pick up our new baby! It's a long trip. Almost 5 hours each way and we are nervous about how he will do in the car for such a long trip and making the transition as easy as possible for him. We were hoping for any tips and advice to make our little ones first days the best we can for him. We Have an appointment with the vet first thing Monday morning to get him all checked over and the first of the 2 Bordatella vaccines he needs to start obedience school and we are hoping to have him settled in by then so at least we are a comfort to him. Also, we were hoping to change his food and his breeder said that would be fine as well but she prefer we kept him on a grain free quality food. He is currently on TOTW Pacific Stream Puppy and we want to change to Wellness Core. Is when we bring him home too soon to start transitioning him from his food to the new food or should we wait until after he is good and settled in before we add yet another new thing to his little life? Any advice or tips anyone can give for our first days would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and it's wonderful to finally say hello to all of you!!
