Before you bring your pup home, be sure to stock up on all the puppy supplies you need. Don’t always buy what the pet store suggests as you may end up purchasing more than you really need to. For the new puppy, you should look at 4 areas that you need to purchase items for: housing, feeding, grooming and training. Make sure you have these puppy check list items on hand before the puppy comes home: food items, food dishes, water dishes, an adequate supply of chew toys, training treats as well as other treats, grooming items such as nail clippers, grooming brushes depending on your puppy’s coat, puppy-safe shampoo, training items such as leash, flat collar, dog crate, dog beds and blankets, baby gates if you need to limit your puppy’s access to some rooms and cleaning supplies as the puppy may have accidents.
