Going Home
A thoughtful beginning Bringing home a Pickwick puppy is more than a moment—it’s the beginning of a lifelong relationship. We take great care to make that transition gentle, joyful, and well-supported for both puppy and family. Each puppy leaves us with familiar comforts, helpful guidance, and a few meaningful touches that reflect the care and attention they’ve received from the very beginning. We do not ship our puppies—it’s important to us to meet each family in person. When possible, we’re happy to arrange delivery for an additional fee and have traveled across the country, including to San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Birmingham’s airport is nearby, and Atlanta is about a 2.5-hour drive. |
more detailed listing of go-home bag food/supplements:
Because we know how important it is for you to continue with the amazing food and supplements we have been feeding your puppy, we send home all you will need, plus set you up for an easy transition. We include everything you will need to give your puppy the best start in life with veterinarian-developed, USA made food, treats, and supplements:
1. Real Chicken & Sweet Potato Recipe, 10.3 lb. bag: Crafted with real chicken as the first ingredient, this grain-free recipe is highly-digestible and nutritionally-dense, perfect for puppies with normal or underweight conditions. Enriched with antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients, this balanced formula helps support healthy brain development, heart health, and a shiny coat.
2. Wild Alaskan Salmon & Beef Freeze-Dried Raw with Vegetables & Superfoods (Top the dried food with approximately 20% freeze-dried raw ... as a "topper" ... rehydrated in warm water or sodium free broth). Feed this combination of dried/freeze-dried 3 times daily, then twice daily. Add the following supplements at breakfast:
3. Wild Alaskan Salmon & Pollock Oil, 8 oz (half a squirt, or a small amount -- too much will cause loose stools). A nutrient-rich supplement full of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Sourced from wild-caught salmon and pollock, this oil supports healthy growth and development, promotes a shiny coat, and boosts immune function.
4. Gastro Pro Plus®, 30 ct: (1 chew, whole or crumbled, mixed in with breakfast food). This complete blend of probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and soothing herbs supports proper digestion and bowel health in dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Developed by veterinarians, it aids in maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle by promoting a balanced gastrointestinal tract.
5. Plaque Control™: We recommend this supplement daily for life. Avoid the risky anesthesia and dental cleanings later! A delicious, easy way to help control plaque and tartar on your pet's teeth, promoting normal periodontal health. Powered by organic kelp (which is sustainably harvested in the pristine waters off the Scandinavian coastline) and parsley, Plaque Control works from the inside out, through the blood stream, providing long-lasting support with just a few seconds of chewing. Perfect for pet parents who struggle with brushing their pet's teeth, Plaque Control is the simple, effective solution for consistent dental care.
6. NuVet Daily Vitamin (add to breakfast OR give as a treat later in the day)
7. pawPairings Superfood Seasoning Beef Medley: A sprinkle over food (optional, or on occasion for variety). Elevate mealtime with this delicious freeze-dried superfood seasoning. Packed with a blend of nutritious fruits, vegetables, and vitamins, this seasoning adds variety and healthy antioxidants to your pet's diet, reducing mealtime boredom and enhancing overall nutrition.
8. pawTreats Freeze-Dried Turkey, Apples & Cinnamon (for training or special treat as a snack): Treat your puppy to these all-natural, grain-free freeze-dried treats made with real meat and complementary fruits. With no fillers or artificial additives, these wholesome treats are perfect for training or as a tasty reward for your furry friend.
9. pawTreats Soft & Chewy Chicken, Bananas & Coconut Meaty Bites, (for training or special treat as a snack -- you can break one piece into many many small bites): Made with premium meat-protein as the first ingredient. Perfect for even the pickiest eaters, these natural treats are easy to tear and perfect for training or rewarding.
10. Urine Eliminator: Accidents happen, but with this enzymatic technology-based stain and odor remover, you can effectively clean urine stains and neutralize odors, leaving your home fresh and clean. Potty training doesn’t have to be hard. Safe for use on carpets, upholstery, and hard surfaces, this USA-made formula ensures a hygienic environment for your puppy.

A Little Piece of Them
Each puppy creates a small “graduation” painting before going home—a keepsake that captures a moment in their earliest days. It’s a simple, joyful tradition… and a little reminder of where their story began. |
A Head Start in Life
Pickwick puppies don’t just go home—they arrive prepared.
Through early training and daily interaction, your puppy will already be familiar with foundational skills such as sit, down, touch, and more. Many have even learned enough to earn an AKC Novice Trick Dog title before leaving.
To help you continue their progress, we include guidance, notes, and a glimpse into the skills they’ve already begun to develop. Also, you receive a free Puppy Primer E-Book -- How to Train Your Pug Puppy Prodigy complete with videos, photographs, and detailed directions and sequencing.
Their First Performance
Before going home, each puppy is filmed demonstrating their growing skills—capturing a sweet snapshot of their personality, progress, and a few charming tricks along the way. Here are a few of those graduation videos.
