New Puppy Checklist




Food and Water Bowls - There are a variety of these on the market, including height adjustable ones, so just choose the one that will best fit you and your new puppy's needs.
A Travel Crate - The guidelines for choosing a crate is to make sure that it is not too large. It should be large enough for your puppy to stand and to turn around, but small enough to make the puppy feel secure.
Nylon Leash -Avoid getting too long of a leash for your puppy. A 6ft. leash will keep your puppy a safe distance and give you more control. As your puppy grows and gets more accustomed to walking on a leash, you can purchase a longer one.
Adjustable Collar - Get one small enough so that it will fit now, but can also be adjusted as your puppy grows Veterinarian- Before taking your puppy home, find a veterinarian and make an appointment for a check-up. Also, take the time to locate a 24 hour animal hospital in case an emergency arises.
Food- Always consult a professional when choosing a food to make sure you are providing your puppy with the proper nutrition.
Durable Toys - Puppies love squeaky toys, but make sure to buy ones durable enough, so that puppy cannot get to the squeaker, which can cause a choking hazard. There is also a great selection of durable rubber toys on the market that are virtually indestructible.
