Buy Puppies at XO PUPS: A Guide to Taking Home Our Puppies!

If you’re searching for where to buy puppies, XO PUPS carries many different types of puppy breeds!

Adding a new furry family member can be a daunting task. It’s even harder if you haven’t shopped for a pet in years, or ever. The puppy buying world is always changing. Many people don’t know where to start with taking home a new puppy. But that’s where we come in! At XO PUPS, we’re experts at matching the right pet with the right family and meeting the needs of both. Our dedicated, knowledgeable Pet Counselors have dog breed information all but memorized and can definitively answer any questions you might have. We strive to continuously raise the bar for our customer experience and it shows!

Large breeds vs. small breeds, which is best?

Well, there is no right answer here and it really comes down to you. What’s your home environment like? Most large breed dogs need lots of space, but there’s always an exception! Think about a Great Dane that does great in small apartments or condos. And then vice versa. Small breed dogs can usually thrive in small areas, but if they have high exercise needs, it might not work out.

Many people just go with a breed that they’re used to, that they had growing up or that a family member has. However, this could be a mistake as the situation can be drastically different and another breed would fit better. We say try to keep an open mind when selecting a new puppy! Be accepting of new information, we’re here to help. You can book an appointment to meet a few different breeds side by side. The ASPCA dog care guide is also a good read before you decide.

Taking home a new puppy: the first night, now what?

Another thing we’re proud of is our puppy training program, the one for you humans! Not everyone has trained a new puppy, or maybe hasn’t trained in many years. We want to make sure every new puppy owner goes home with the tools necessary to be successful at housebreaking, teething and basic commands. The first few weeks with a new puppy are some of the hardest and patient, consistent training routines help keep everyone on track. Our puppy package covers the basics, like a kennel, playpen, potty pads, teething toys and food. We also carry the latest and greatest when it comes to products and supplies and our Pet Counselors can help you find what you need!

Think you’re ready for taking home a new puppy? We think so! Check out all of our wiggly, cuddly little puppies on our available puppies page!

My husband and I came in to visit to look at the puppies and options they have. They gave us a good amount of time to get to know a puppy, but we had another puppy in mind too. They did a great job with handling customers. The staff quickly wanted to know the purpose and how serious we were on buying before they gave out a second puppy, which I understand. However, we were interested but this also turned us off. The puppies were individually confined which is not great environmentally and socially for them. (My opinion, but to each their own.) Otherwise, it was not bad of an experience. I will come back. Just things to consider. We will keep them in mind for a specific breed only.

We had a great experience at XO with our first dog so it was a no-brainer to return when we were looking to add another puppy to our family. We had an equally great experience the second time around, and happy to find another perfect match.
