Bringing home a new puppy is a very exciting time for both the new owner and the puppy. A few essential supplies will help make it easier for both. Let’s take a look as some of these supplies.

Your new puppy will need dishes for food and water. Look for bowls that aren’t easy to tip over, and also ones puppy can’t grab in it’s mouth. Puppy’s are playful, and unless you want a mess to clean up, don’t let the food dishes become toys.

Puppy will need a bed, box or crate. A crate is great because it can serve as a place of confinement to keep puppy out of trouble as well as aid in housebreaking. Get a crate that will grow with your puppy.

Puppy will need a place to call her own. A crate, box or bed the puppy can snugly fit in will help her feel more comfortable. Remember however that she will grow fast, so having a crate that can expand to her adult size will save money in the long run. A crate also helps keep her out of trouble when you can’t watch her every minute. A simple towel can work as bedding and is easy to wash when soiled.

As your puppy grows you will want an adjustable nylon dog collar. Start with a nylon dog collar adjusted to it’s smallest, and let it out as the puppy grows. You could also get a designer nylon dog collar for special occasions.

As your adventurous puppy grows, you will want an ID tag to attach to his nylon dog collar. This will help him get back home in case he finds a way to go visit the neighbors. ID tags can be bought through the mail or from your local pet store.

As puppy grows, he will become more adventurous. Having some kind of ID tag attached to his nylon dog collar will help him return home in case he wanders off to visit the neighbors. You can order ID tags through the mail, or make one yourself at a local pet store.

Puppies love to chew, and will chew on whatever they can find. It helps if you have some chewing toys to give pup in exchange for your shoes! And last of all, but most important, you will need lots of love and patience as you help your new puppy grow into a well-behaved adult dog.
