Hi Rach_73,
The recommended time to take a puppy home is 8 - 12 weeks. However, many breeders and dog trainers believe 10 weeks is the best time. Puppies need time to grow up a little bit and learn social skills with their littermates before they can be separated from their family. We have a comprehensive guide on bringing your puppy home with checklists on what you need to buy and consider.
Since most pet insurance companies do not cover pre-existing conditions, the younger your dog is when you sign up, the better coverage you will likely receive throughout their lifetime. Please check out our pet insurance guide to learn more.
