Buy for the dog this puppy will be, not only for the dog you are picking up. A Cane Corso puppy outgrows cute gear in weeks.

The list

  • A crate the adult can turn around in, with a divider for now.
  • A wide collar and a six-foot leash that will not clip-fail.
  • Large-breed puppy food that matches what we send, at least at first.
  • Two stainless bowls. Plastic gets chewed.
  • An enzyme cleaner. Accidents happen to good families.
  • A bed you will not mourn.
  • A fence the puppy cannot walk under or boost over later.
  • A vet appointment already on the calendar.

What we put in the kit

The Casa Forte starter kit covers the first days: food, collar, leash, dishes, toys, and notes. You still want your own crate and a house that is already puppy-proofed — shoes up, trash closed, chocolate gone, kids briefed.

When the house is ready, choose a puppy and reserve. If you are missing something, ask in the notes. We would rather answer a small question than send a pup into a scramble.
