When you bring home a new puppy, you’ll want to have a few essential items on hand. Formulated puppy food is a must.  A tip proof food and water bowl is also recommended. Puppyies are a bit clumsy and instead of wiping up the floor all the time and refilling the water bowl. it’s a good idea to get a bowl that will not tip over that easily.  An adjustable cloth or nylon collar is also very important along with a dog leash for all of those walks that you’ll be taking.  A dog crate or carrier that is roomy is also a must have because your pup will sleep a lot at first.  Don’t forget to get an ID tag and put it on his collar in case he wanders off.  Other items that come in very handy include training pads, grooming supplies and toys for chasing and for chewing. Your energetic pup will need things to keep him occupied when your away or at work.
