Before arrival, prepare a quiet sleeping space, a secure pen, washable bedding, food and water bowls, and a well-fitting harness. Keep cables, small objects and cleaning products out of reach. A simple setup makes supervision easier than giving a puppy the whole house at once.
Ask for the current food and feeding routine. Keep meals consistent while your puppy settles, and discuss portion sizes and any diet changes with your veterinarian. Fresh water should be available; do not choose supplements or restrictive diets based on color or breed marketing.
Take your puppy to the toilet after waking, eating and playing, and reward the behavior you want. Accidents are part of learning. Clean quietly rather than punishing the puppy, and adjust your schedule if accidents keep happening.
Arrange a veterinary appointment and bring the actual vaccination and health records. Your vet can check breathing, body condition and any concerns, and tell you when outings with other dogs are appropriate.
Keep greetings short and gentle. Give children clear boundaries and supervise them with the puppy. A Frenchie needs plenty of rest, a cool room and a safe place to retreat; a busy first day is not a test of confidence.
