Be Puppy Prepared Things to Get
Your new puppy will require a few things of her own, you should get the following before you bring her home.
Collar and Leash
A flat buckle collar is best for your new best friend, it resembles a regular belt with holes that can adjust to fit as she grows.
Depending on your dog's breed, or the size of your little one, the leash should be lightweight till she gets older. Get one that is 6 feet in length to start off with.
Bowls for Food and Water
These are pretty much basic, they come in different sizes, shapes and colors. Stainless steel, ceramic or plastic.
Provide a Pet Bed, a Crate or Kennel.
Your sleepy eyed wonder should have a bed of her own to kick back, relax, and sleep.
A crate can be used for potty training, for the trip to the vet, or simply the place that she can go, to feel safe and be stress free.
The crate should be just large enough so she can stand tall, turn around in, stretch out, and lay comfortably.
Chew Stuff
They need and love to chew on things. Getting a few chew sticks or chew toys will keep her mind off your shoes, furniture, comforter, books, rugs, bags............etc.
Play Stuff
Pamper her and get some toys, so she can play and cuddle up with. Put some in her crate or her den.
Food and Treats
Check with your veterinarian on the type of food that you should get, any recommendation from him/her would be best. You will also need to get some treats, which will be used for praise and rewards, when you begin training.
Potty Training Supplies
Depending on what you choose to use. Litter box, paper training pads, and an odor eliminator for accidents.
Basic Dog Grooming Supplies
Nail clippers, pet brush, pet shampoo, and canine toothpaste.
