Essentials for your Brittany puppy

A consistent, age-appropriate diet supports healthy growth and development.

Keep the food provided at departure, then make any change gradually over several days.

• Puppy food suited to healthy growth.
• Balanced fresh food can be added if appropriate.
• Adjust portions as your puppy grows and with veterinary advice.

Every accessory should support gradual, positive and safe learning.

• A long line for safe recall training.
• A whistle for a clear, consistent signal.
• A comfortable lead and collar suited to your puppy’s size.

The Pawpro training collar should remain an occasional aid, used only after the basic commands have been taught and at the lowest setting your puppy responds to. It must never be used for punishment, cause pain or replace positive reinforcement.

A quiet resting place and easy-to-clean equipment help your puppy settle in.

• A washable bed with a removable cover.
• A crate introduced gradually as a calm resting place.
• A washable waterproof cover for the first few weeks.

The Brittany Spaniel has an easy-care, naturally self-cleaning coat, and short, gentle care sessions gradually teach your puppy to accept handling.

As long as your puppy does not smell, there is no need to bathe them. We wash our dogs only two or three times a year, using a suitable dog shampoo. After a muddy walk, a simple rinse with clean water is generally enough.

• Use the slicker brush gently for routine grooming.
• The Furminator Undercoat can be used occasionally during the transition from puppy coat to adult coat, without repeatedly working over the still-fine coat or sensitive skin.
• Shedding can be intense depending on the season and weather. Brush every other day during these periods to remove dead hair and limit loose hair around the home.
• Keep nails comfortably short and check the ears and paws regularly.

At this age, choose short activities that build curiosity without overtiring your puppy.

• Keep sessions short, varied and supervised.
• Alternate scent work, retrieving, chewing and puzzle games.
• Junior training dummies are training equipment, not toys to leave freely available.

A few suitable tools make muddy paw prints and everyday accidents easier to manage.

A puppy — and even an adult dog — inevitably brings muddy paw prints, hair and the occasional accident. To keep floors clean without spending too much time on it, we regularly use a Tineco vacuum mop.

Start simply and add equipment according to your puppy’s actual needs.

Start with the essentials for the first few weeks. Observe your puppy before buying more: their real needs will soon become clear.
