Your YUPPIE PUPPY NECESSITIES
Puppy and adult dog supplies, so you protect your family from
Covid germs in retail pet stores across the US.
these were typical shopping trips for Miss Christina
back in the day when it was safe to go out and Shop for our beagles in person.
since she was chosen as a Select Breeder in 1990 Miss Christina has used only the Best
for our line of Beagles and puppies we produce at Sunshine Acres Beagles for Family Members.
We have used and recommended Eukanuba for over 30years.
( Until your Vet has given all 4 shots in the puppy booster series to your new family member, be careful where you take them!) ( we give the 1st and 2nd booster shots here for you when you adopt one of our puppies. )
Please use our handy links to do your shopping safely at home until it is ok to go out again.
Back in the day it was safe for humans - just not small puppies until they had their shots -- Now we need ours too!

KONG Cozie Elmer the Elephant Dog Toy
Puppies and dogs always love a nice big cushy toy they can lay on. Greenies Regular Dental Dog Treats
They absolutely love these,
and they clean their teeth!
(Christi picks out a crate and items for a mini beagle. Being an older pup, she had had all her required shots and need not worry about picking up Parvo and other dog disease germs in the store. )
its nice to have your crate, bed, toys, leash and collar before your new puppy comes into your home.
puppies love these flat bones by Dentley…
great for teething the first few months
We also have affiliate status with Petco and Walmart, if you follow our links, they will know we referred you :)
this couple thoughtfully sent ahead a bed for their puppy to get used to here with his sibblings and mom before using it in his own new home so that is something familiar in a sea of new faces, & places
as he learns his new Pack / Family .
they also included blankets for the littermates to take to their new homes with their siblings scent to comfort them.
Knowing Miss C. loves wine they included a bottle for her from a local vineyard to thank her !!
they sent their own t-shirts so the new family member would know their scent when he meets them for the first time on adoption day :)and blankies for us to share with the littermates so each of them had their own blanket with the litters scent already on it when they went home to a new place that was unfamiliar.
we give those and the toys back when they come adopt so they have items
with a good association with their first home going from it.... into a new one !
This sweet family adopted a pair of siblings so the pair could keep one another company when their only child son was busy with his school or friends/sports etc. This is a great option , especially for busy families who wont always have someone around to entertain, and keep their new family member company as they mature. A brother or sister gives the newest family member that pack they crave.
they thought to send their things beforehand , we appreciate folks sharing with their pups first home here
especially now that Miss Christina has returned from helping her elderly folks in Florida to have a hobby kennel with our unique line of Family Pet Beagles.
several families have sent their things with their own scent inside ziplock baggies,kids take toys to bed with them or keep it by their side while watching tv. etc. before shipping them to us.
We give their puppy its own things by itself, then with
littermates and return them to the baggies.
Once the puppy is adopted and their things are brought home with them, the new owners can pick and choose when to bring out another familiar item with home all over it to comfort them.
You can also pre-order necessities,
like your puppy's playpen,and all their supplies, and have them safely delivered to your home
so that you're all set when it is time to welcome your pup into your life!
There are so many helpful supplies
to have on-hand when raising a young puppy.
rather than risk exposure to anything in the stores we encourage our adoptive families expecting a puppy from our Springtime homecomings to shop ahead of time and get the supplies available prior to Adoption Day. You can have them sent to us , or to you to get your scent on then to us. either way is fine.
this rare darling 7 week old Nano chocolate beagle boy decided to just get in the toy basket to look around:)
he's smaller than the striped kitty toy behind him... lol
Hint about Toys:
The best system I've devised is to keep a basket full of toy - squeaky toys etc. on the floor where it is easy for the puppy to access it. Rather than looking for cords, or other objects of yours to chew on, the pup soon learns where his, or her toys are located and helps himself when he needs to chew.
Rope bones are a fun toy for a new pup to play with the fibers seem to clean and loosen those puppy teeth that should be falling out over the next few months and being replaced with adult k-9's ... lol
dont forget to order a Jax toy !

Gracious in the middle below fufilled her dream of doing Pet Therapy , she was too small to breed so she went to be an office dog doing Pet Therapy with Veterans in Penn.
Paisley, and daughter's Gracious from her 2019 litter, and young Paisley puppy from her 2020 litter we ordered a 10 lb. box full of one of their favorite chew toys cow hooves for all the dogs to enjoy !
Paisley Chillin on an elevated bed in the shade
above our Fishing Pond down the hill.
Our dogs spend time on their Cooleroo Beds just cause they like being elevated :)
Gracen sits on the new indestructible elevated dog bed on our front porch, dont forget to give your dog something nice to lay on outdoors too !
These puppy playpens
work great while your pup is still too young for crate training!
Set your playpen up with newspaper all the way across, and then place their bedding on top of one side. If you wish, you may add scented weewee pads to the other side, but don't put scented pads under their bed. Dogs are scent triggered when it comes to using the bathroom, so you don't want the scent of "where to go" associated with their bed.
(This is also why it's important to always clean up after an accident immediately with products made specifically to clean pet accidents - even if you can't smell it, they can if you don't use the right pet-specific products. Be sure to use the right stuff so that they don't smell it later and think "oh, this is where I go". )
MyPet Plastic Dog Pet Yard
(order online from Chewy!)
This playpen setup helps your puppy avoid accidents in your home while they're still learning your rules and when unsupervised. If you need to run to the grocery store or are distracted by making dinner, put your pup back in the safety of their playpen, which gives your baby the option of newspaper if needed. This is also especially important during the night or while you're busy/away, and they choose to keep their bed clean. Around 14-15 weeks pups' bodies start to mature and they can typically begin holding their bladder for longer periods of time -- that's when crate training can start. You'll see dry newspaper three mornings in a row, and you'll know they've started holding their bladder

TOYS!!
To snuggle on, and to teeth on
Puppies love a big toys to replace a littermates' cuddles!
we love this kind (its a big blue dog.)
when we can, we keep blankets for sale too $10. ea.
riding home with a blanket and pup on your lap is a good bonding time . Bring a crate too or tall box to use at times you need to get out of the car.
we keep various toys on hand here and often folks who don't have a chance to send their puppy care package ahead of time, can purchase them with their pups litters scent on them to bring home when they adopt from us, so the new family member has something to comfort it in the new unfamiliar surroundings. ( $5. ea.)
adjustable collars are great they allow puppy to grow and you can simply move them to allow more room ...
we like to use retractable leashes when teaching to use a leash it has some give and doesnt tug at their neck the way conventional leashes do .
Pet Attire Bones Dog Collar 10-14in Blue P...Pet Attire Bones Dog Collar [More]
we keep tiny collars on hand here since often folks arrive with ones that are hilariously too big for
their new baby ! ( $5. ea.) just let us know if you'd like one for your new addition ahead of time.
we like the plastic crates with a handle on top for easy carrying.
however we dont care as much for the petsmart brand of crate
they have a doorway that is narrowed by their metal door when it swings open , and as a dog grows it is not as easy getting a full grown
pet inside vs better brands like Petmate Kennel Cab
Petstages Toys
we love this brand and
the various smaller chew toys they
make that work well for a new teething pup.
Food & Treats
Eukanuba Puppy Food
Our Preferred choice is Eukanuba Puppy food
it has the addition of Omega
3 fish oils for skin and coat.
chicken is the first ingredient for

You can purchase Eukanuba from Petco through our Petco affiliate link here.
Greenies Dog Dental Chew Treats Regular 12...Greenies Dog Dental Chew Treats Regular [More]
Iams Puppy Biscuits in the yellow box were our favorite treats it seems as though they have stoped making them or they arent available right now.
Eukanuba has a healthy treat we like also called Healthy Extras those are still available.
Dentleys rawhide treats are a good diversion for teething pups and adult dogs. we like the tiny flat bone shaped ones best but they make lots of kinds including these chicken wrapped ones .
Most last a long time with a puppy, the chicken ones are safer for adult dogs to enjoy real meat they dont last long at all lol... yummers
Often our adopting families send along a :"Puppy Care" package so their new family member has things here in their first home with us and their moma doggie and littermates. Some send a soft blanket , a nice bed, cute toys, teething items and chew toys, and treats to share with the litter:)
when they pick up their puppy the litters scent is on the items they take home to the new environment/home this makes the transition go more smoothly as the new family member has something familiar they enjoy already.
we love it when families include local favorites for us to try too!
one lady said your sharing something from the Carolinas
we thought we would like to share something from our area
with your family in return !
Dusty's new family sent along their care package and included something for his first family here at sunshine acres too,
to thank us for raising him for them !
they had Miss C. hand deliver him to them at the Fort Myers airport in fla.
on one of her trips south to visit her parents in Naples.
Gifts in hand this local family comes to meet us , and join the preapproved waiting list for a sunshine beagle for their family.Miss C. shows the gentle kids some newborns in rare colors you don't see everyday !
they get to meet orange and white now retired mom "Athena", and tri colored also retired to same lady our moma "Sweetie" . Our dogs have a couple litters and we often keep a special offspring with qualities that enhance the breed to add to our bloodlines and then they retire to be spoiled rotten housepets.
Mr. Williams was starting up a new business and had heard one of our favorite repeat customers had given us a K-cup coffee maker.
they knew we stay up round the clock at times watching puppies be born or tending to their care and often need some Joe to keep us going . He sells individual cups so that you can order a smorgesboard of favorite flavors at once and never get tired of the box before you get the next flavor. He brought us a sample of his business Pic a Pod .
When there are small children in a home we like to meet them to approve the family to adopt one of our babies. These gentle kids were so polite and well mannered/ minding their parents we knew they would listen as they interacted with one of our little ones and were happy to preapprove them to get a sunshine beagle puppy!
when their puppy was ready to go home they came back out and happily adopted her .
Daughter Christi gets a small commission for all purchases that originate from our links on this page to reward her for all her help in between classes at UNC Chapel Hill.
you save time and gas going out to a retail store...
shipping is often free for purchases over &49. saving you time and money driving to pick up your new family members supplies.
We so appreciate those who use the links and help us afford to keep updating the site with new things to see :) Let us know if you use the links on our page we so appreciate those who do :) especially now that all our pups have found great homes in NC. this will be our only income till our Springtime litters go home in late March/April timeframes !
We recommend picking up your own bottle of de-wormer Nemex 2 2 OunceNemex 2 [More]
we worm pups from the time they are two weeks old on, till the day they are adopted from us.
Since worms can be picked up in the grass or outdoors we just routinely give it till the vet puts them
on a once a month wormer. There are various stages in the worm life cycle and therefore you give every two weeks, to be sure the eggs, larvae , and adults all are wiped out as they grow and inhabit various places
in your pet.
since it can be dangerous to give to pregnant moms worm medicine while she is carrying her litter, it is possible for worms to pass to the pups via her . Getting your own little bottle of wormer you can go ahead and give a dose a few days prior to your visit to the vet for shots. This is a big savings over time as they grow since a bottle is around the cost of one dose at the vets office :) and it will last you till he puts the puppy on a monthly pill for maintenance.
woo hoo something for the pups, and a Star Bucks gift card for Christi to get her thru midterms lol...
and thank her for the adorable photos and website work she does for everyone to enjoy !
how thoughtful ! (Gift cards can be ordered online)
we believe it will be ok to meet up with folks again one day soon...
till then may God Bless and keep you safe and sound at home . And Please do your shopping online
from Home safely, and to help Miss Christina start up her Hobby Kennel once again now that she is
back home in NC.

since it can be dangerous to give to pregnant moms worm medicine while she is carrying her litter, it is possible for worms to pass to the pups via her . Getting your own little bottle of wormer you can go ahead and give a dose a few days prior to your visit to the vet for shots. This is a big savings over time as they grow since a bottle is around the cost of one dose at the vets office :) and it will last you till he puts the puppy on a monthly pill for maintenance.
woo hoo something for the pups, and a Star Bucks gift card for Christi to get her thru midterms lol...
and thank her for the adorable photos and website work she does for everyone to enjoy !
how thoughtful ! (Gift cards can be ordered online)
we believe it will be ok to meet up with folks again one day soon...
till then may God Bless and keep you safe and sound at home . And Please do your shopping online
from Home safely, and to help Miss Christina start up her Hobby Kennel once again now that she is
back home in NC.
