Things Your New Family Member Will Need !

Bringing a new puppy home requires some essential supplies to ensure their comfort, safety, and well-being. Here's a list of supplies you'll likely need:

1. Dog crate or carrier: Provide a safe and cozy space for your puppy, especially during transportation and crate training. (Dogs like to have a den-like space)
2. Dog bed: Offer a comfortable and designated spot for your puppy to rest and sleep.
3. Food and water bowls: Choose sturdy, non-tip bowls that are appropriate for your puppy's size.
4. Puppy food: Consult your veterinarian for recommendations on a high-quality puppy food that meets their nutritional needs. (We feed ProPlan Puppy Lamb and Rice)
5. Treats: Reward your puppy during training sessions or for good behavior. Opt for small, soft treats suitable for puppies.
6. Leash and collar or harness: Get a lightweight leash and a well-fitting collar or harness for walks and outings.  (Training classes like 6 foot leads, collar sizes are usually around extra smalls when they first go home)
7. Identification tags: Attach a durable identification tag with your puppy's name, your contact information, and any necessary identification.
8. Puppy pee pads: Useful for toilet training, especially if you're unable to take your puppy outside immediately. (Washable or Throw away )
9. Dog poop bags: Keep your surroundings clean during walks by carrying poop bags for easy disposal.
10. Dog shampoo: Purchase a gentle, puppy-specific shampoo for regular baths. (We like Nature's Specialties)
11. Brush and comb: Depending on your puppy's coat type, choose appropriate grooming tools to keep their fur in good condition. (Small slicker brush and metal comb)
12. Nail clippers: Trim your puppy's nails regularly to maintain their comfort and prevent scratching.
13. Chew toys: Provide a variety of safe and durable chew toys to keep your puppy entertained and promote healthy chewing habits. (Nylabones)
14. Training pads or crate liner: For crate training or as an additional measure during toilet training, consider using training pads or crate liners.
15. Pet gate or playpen: Establish boundaries or create a confined area where your puppy can play safely.
16. Puppy training pads or newspaper: Useful for initial stages of toilet training.
17. Enzymatic cleaner: Accidents can happen during the training period, so keep a reliable enzymatic cleaner to remove odors and stains effectively.
18. Pet first aid kit: Have a basic first aid kit on hand with supplies like gauze, adhesive tape, antiseptic solution, and tweezers for any minor injuries or emergencies.
19. Puppy training treats: Use small, soft treats specifically designed for training purposes to motivate and reward your puppy during training sessions.
20. Doggie toothbrush and toothpaste: Start early with dental hygiene by using a doggie toothbrush and toothpaste formulated for dogs.

Remember, this is a general list, there is such a wide array of things that can be bought for new puppies so it's up to you to decide how spoiled they will be :)
