10 Must-Haves For Your New Puppy Checklist

When bringing home a new puppy you need to make sure to complete your new puppy checklist before he gets to your house. Having the right gear is essential when it comes to house training, feeding schedules, sleeping schedules, and more when it comes to your pup. Just like a baby, they are new to your home and have needs that have to be met for you and your new friend to live together in harmony.

Pups and even older dogs are wonderful companions who want nothing more than to please their owners; they will give you unconditional love and affection for many years to come, but the ground rules are important. Praise and affection go a long way when it comes to your furry friend, but make sure you know what your expectations are from the beginning. With a little bit of love, the supplies from your new puppy checklist, and the right mindset, you and your new pup will be the very best of friends!
