Some of the items below are nice to have, but others - such as a water bowl and food bowl - are essential.
-
Food and feeding: Food bowl, water bowl, puppy food and some treats to reinforce good behaviour when training puppy.
-
Toys: Something squeaky and a nylon bone are ideal starters. Puppies have a desire to chew when teething, if they attempt to chew items they’re not supposed to, play with their chew toy and emphasise what they should be chewing.
-
Grooming gear: A good comb and brush, along with special puppy shampoo. Also make sure you have some flea and tick preventer, along with dog wipes and cotton balls for cleaning his ears.
-
Personal items: A leash and I.D. tag, a dog bed and poop bags for when you take puppy walking.
