You're getting ready to welcome your new four-legged best friend into your home. A few small challenges at first can cause you to be confused and sometimes are overwhelming for a new puppy owner. But there are great ways to relieve stress, the first one is to prepare in advance.

Living with a puppy is an incredibly exciting time in your life. They will bring you joy but there is a lot to think about before that. From deciding if your finances are enough to guarantee them a good life to how to bring them home, here's a detailed list of needed things to buy for your new puppy.  

Before you can be sure that a puppy is the best pet for you, or before you choose to adopt a particular breed, there are many things you need to consider carefully. The most important thing is to make sure that the dog is right for both you and your family. They will live with you for many years, so include them in all your future plans.

Collar and Leash

Prepare a collar and leash on the first day you bring your puppy home. A collar with a simple design will be the place to write information about the dog and you in case you lose it. That collar will attach to a leash used when you want to take your dog for a walk.

For dog collars, you should choose a type made from nylon fiber and have the feature of flexibly adjusting the length. The collar should fit snugly around the dog's neck to prevent it from slipping off the leash when the dog is naughty. However, it should not be too tight, which will make the dog uncomfortable. Find trusted pet stores to buy it for quality. 

Dog Bed

The first day your puppy is at your house, he will definitely need a comfortable bed. If the dog does not know or is not proficient at going to the toilet in the right place, let him sleep in a kennel or crate. Once your beloved dog is familiar with the right place to go to the toilet, you can move him to sleep on a real dog bed. In addition, you can choose to add a pillow or stuffed animal to your dog depending on the decoration style of your home. Most beds should have a removable and washable sheet cover. Choose a small to medium-sized bed so your dog feels cozy and safe.

Food & Drink Bowls

At the first time of moving into your home, your puppy will need a bowl. Currently, there are many types available for sale through pet supply stores or on e-commerce sites with lots of coupons and deals. You can choose from stainless steel, plastic, or even glass bowls. However, each option has its own advantages and limitations.

Plastic bowls are the most economical option, however, when putting them in the dishwasher to clean and disinfect, the dirt may not be completely washed off. For this reason, if you decide to go with plastic, make sure you choose a bowl that is sturdy and can be easily cleaned. Meanwhile, the glass bowl is quite heavy so it can't become a puppy's toy, not to mention it is also quite expensive and when broken will cause bad harm to your dog. On the other hand, stainless steel-based bowls are generally costly, but they are the best option. This type of product is quite sturdy, easy to clean and disinfect, and is also quite suitable for a puppy to carry as a toy. That's why many pet owners choose this stainless steel dish.

Grooming Tools

Even at a very young age, your puppy will still need to be groomed and learned to behave appropriately in the process. You need to regularly bathe and brush your puppy. You also need to trim its nails, clean its ears and brush its teeth. To be ready for daily care and grooming as soon as your dog arrives at your home, prepare tools such as a dryer, brush, comb, cotton wool, ear cleaners, nail clippers, towels, and so on. Put these items in a plastic tray or basket and put them in a convenient, easy-to-access place.

Toy

Whether it's a stuffed animal, a fake squeaky mouse, or a toy with food inside, puppies will love it. Toys can be divided into several categories, including rodent toys to satisfy your dog's need to chew and chew during an itchy tooth, cloth toys like stuffed animals to make your dog feel comfortable; and movement toys such as balls and flying saucers;...
