Puppy Showers?? Count Me In!! :)

A puppy shower is a party planned in honor of a new puppy or rescue dog. They can take place either before or aftere the arrival of the new pooch, and the presence of puppy and pals is optional as well.

A puppy shower, like a baby shower, is a celebration among friends and family to help prepare for the arrival of a furry new family member, which as we all know, can be a very costly endeavor.In addition, puppy showers are just a darn good excuse to get people together, and friends and family can help gather all the supplies necessary for a new dog.

If you choose to have the puppy shower prior to the new dog or puppies arrival, this can be a very simple event, that does not even include a canine guest list. That is, unless, you'd like to break in your puppy's new yard, with a test-romp by future friends. Alternatively, if you hold the puppy shower after the new arrival, this will give puppy a chance to actually make the aquaintance with new dog pals, and begin the socialization process. However, it's important that the new pup or dog not be exposed to other dogs until your new pup has had all of the required vaccinations.

Invitations can be emailed or snail mail. Preprinted invitations are also available from online suppliers.
