Preparing for a new puppy can be a fun, and at the same time exhausting process.  Puppies require a lot of attention and have special needs for the first six months to one year of their lives.  Here are a few items you will need to accommodate your new puppy.puppy

~Dog crate: your puppy needs a place to sleep and feel safe, in addition you need a place to put your puppy when you can’t pay attention to them. Be sure to purchase some dog crate mats to ensure your canine is comfy.

~Dog bed: whether placing it inside the crate or somewhere else, puppies need to keep warm, and they will also associate the bed with where they should sleep later in life.

~Leash, harness and collar: these are the essential tools for taking your puppy for walks and for teaching them how to walk with people.

~Chew toys: puppies like to chew on things, give them something to chew on so that they don’t go for your furniture or shoes.

~Puppy food and treats: of course they need to eat, and you want to reward your puppy for good behavior with treats.
