Bringing home a new puppy is such a joyful and exciting experience! It’s a time full of love, cuddles, and new adventures—but it can also feel a little overwhelming trying to figure out what to buy or what your new furry friend will need. Don’t worry! I’ve got you covered.
To help you prepare, I’ve put together a list of must-have items inspired by some of my litters and their parents’ favorite things. These tried-and-true recommendations will make your puppy feel right at home while setting both of you up for success.
These are the basics every new puppy owner needs to make their home safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Puppies thrive in an environment where they feel secure, and these items lay the foundation for good habits, proper care, and a smooth transition into their new home.
