St. Louis is a fantastic city for dog owners, blending rich history with vibrant green spaces perfect for a growing puppy. As your new companion grows, you’ll discover a community that truly embraces its four-legged residents. Imagine starting your weekends with a leisurely walk through the iconic Forest Park. With over 1,300 acres, its sprawling lawns and well-maintained paths offer endless opportunities for fetch, training, and socializing. Your pup will love sniffing around the base of Art Hill or exploring the trails that wind through the park’s beautiful landscapes.

For a more unique and social experience, Bar K St. Louis is a must-visit. This innovative dog park, bar, and restaurant is a local favorite where you can relax with a drink while your puppy plays safely in a supervised, off-leash environment with other dogs. It’s the perfect spot to meet other St. Louis dog lovers.

Another local gem is Tower Grove Park, a Victorian treasure with stunning architecture and lush scenery. Its peaceful atmosphere is ideal for a calming stroll with your new puppy, helping them get accustomed to the sights and sounds of the city. Living in St. Louis means your puppy won’t just be a pet; they’ll be a companion for every adventure, from a walk in the Central West End to a lazy afternoon in a South City backyard.

A Trusted Veterinarian in St. Louis for Your Puppy’s First Check-Up

One of the most important first steps you’ll take as a new puppy owner is establishing a relationship with a great local veterinarian. For your puppy’s important first wellness check, many residents of St. Louis trust Hillside Animal Hospital. Located right in the city, their team is consistently praised in reviews for their compassionate approach with first-time puppy owners and their thorough, gentle examinations. They are known for taking the time to answer all your questions, making them a wonderful choice to ensure your new companion starts their life in St. Louis on a healthy and happy paw. We highly recommend scheduling that first appointment within 72 hours of your puppy’s arrival.

Getting Ready for Your Puppy in St. Louis

Preparing for your puppy’s arrival is an exciting time! Here is a simple checklist to help you get everything ready in your St. Louis home.

Make it Official

Once your puppy is settled, it’s important to follow local regulations. You’ll need to register your new pet with the St. Louis City Animal Care and Control. This ensures your puppy has proper identification and helps support local animal services.

Puppy-Proof Your Space

Get down on your hands and knees to see the world from a puppy’s perspective. Secure loose wires, move toxic plants, and ensure cleaning supplies are out of reach.

Shop Local for Supplies

Before your puppy arrives, you’ll need essentials like a comfortable bed, a leash and collar, food and water bowls, and some starter toys. For a great local shopping experience, consider visiting a store like Four Muddy Paws in the Lafayette Square area. They offer high-quality food, treats, and unique supplies, and their knowledgeable staff can provide excellent recommendations.

Whether you live in a Central West End apartment, a home in The Hill, a historic house in Soulard, or a suburb like Clayton or Kirkwood, our transport partners will deliver your puppy safely and directly to your front door.

What are the payment options for my puppy?

We designed our payment model for your peace of mind. To reserve your chosen puppy, we require a secure 50% deposit. The remaining balance is not due until your puppy is delivered safely into your arms in St. Louis. This ensures your complete satisfaction and confidence in our process, making the entire experience transparent and worry-free.

What's the first thing I should do with my puppy in St. Louis?

The first 24-48 hours are crucial for a smooth transition. Start by letting your puppy explore their new home and yard on their own terms. Show them where their food, water, and bed are located. Keep the environment calm and limit visitors for the first couple of days. The next most important step is to take them to your chosen local vet, like Hillside Animal Hospital, for their first wellness check-up.
