The Sunnyside Puppy-Go-Home Bag
A little bundle of comfort, love, and new beginnings
When one of our White Swiss Shepherd puppies leaves Sunnyside for their forever home, they don’t leave empty-pawed. Each puppy goes home with something very special — a Puppy-Go-Home Bag, thoughtfully put together to ease the transition from our home to yours and to make those first days feel safe, familiar, and full of love.
Because going home is exciting… but it’s also a big change.
A soft landing into a new world
Inside the Puppy-Go-Home Bag, new families will find a matching collar, harness, and leash, carefully chosen in the puppy’s own collar — pink, green, black, blue, or gray. These colors have been part of your puppy’s early identity, and keeping that continuity helps create calm and confidence during those first walks and adventures together.
A piece of home to take along
Every puppy also receives a snuggly stuffed toy and a cozy blanket, both infused with the familiar scent of their world so far — mama, littermates, our other dogs, Martijn, and me.
That familiar scent can make all the difference during the first nights in a new home. It whispers you’re safe, you’re loved, you belong.
Food, guidance & gentle support
To keep tummies happy and transitions smooth, we include puppy food for the first few days, so there’s no sudden change right after moving.
You’ll also find carefully prepared resources:
And of course… a few extra little goodies, because welcoming a puppy should feel joyful and special.
More than a bag — it’s a bridge
Our Puppy-Go-Home Bag isn’t just a collection of items. It’s a bridge between the life your puppy has known and the beautiful life ahead. It carries comfort, familiarity, and trust — and it reflects how deeply we care about each puppy and the family they’re joining.
At Of Sunnyside White Swiss Shepherds, we believe that a confident, well-supported beginning makes all the difference. And this little bag?
It’s the first chapter of a lifelong story. 🐾🤍

Welcome & Guidance for Your Puppy’s First Weeks at HomeBringing a puppy into your life is a beautiful, emotional, and life-changing moment. Your home becomes their whole world — a place of safety, discovery, learning, and love. These first days and weeks matter more than many people realize, and the foundation you build now will shape your puppy’s confidence, resilience, and trust for years to come.
This collection of guidance has been lovingly created to support you during this transition. It is not meant to overwhelm you, but to guide you gently — step by step — through your puppy’s early development, routines, and emotional needs. Every puppy is an individual, and there is no “perfect” way to do things. What matters most is consistency, calm energy, patience, and connection.
Your puppy has just left everything familiar: their mother, littermates, smells, rhythms, and the world they knew. Even in the most loving new home, this is a big adjustment. Stress, tiredness, and uncertainty are normal — and with the right support, they pass quickly.
Think of these documents as a compass, not a rulebook. Use what fits your family and your puppy, ask questions when you’re unsure, and trust your instincts. You are not expected to do everything perfectly — only with care, awareness, and kindness.
Above all, remember this:
Your puppy is learning how to feel safe in the world — and you are now their safe place.
I am always here for you. Whether you need reassurance, clarification, or simply want to share an update, please reach out. Watching our puppies grow into confident, well-loved companions is one of the greatest joys of what I do.

To keep tummies happy and transitions smooth, I include puppy food for the first few days, so there’s no sudden change right after moving.
They are now on Buffalo Puppy Large Breed kibble. I chose this food because it’s specifically designed for large breeds and focuses on the growth of their joints (calcium < 1.4%).
To make the food more appealing to their mother, I’ve topped the kibble with tuna mixed with water, Buffalo Puppy wet food, and green-lipped mussels. The puppies are accustomed to these flavors because they were raised on their mother’s milk.
Green-lipped mussels is a natural supplement that offers numerous health benefits. For more information about this supplement, please visit my blog.
Another source I use to find the right food for my pack is www.dogfoodadvisor.com. Many reviews provide valuable insights into how dog food producers label their products. However, one aspect I find concerning is that, on average, dog foods with higher protein percentages tend to receive more stars. While this may be a factor, it’s important to remember that this recipe might not always be the optimal choice for your dog’s specific needs.
