Bringing a new family member in your life is exciting and it’s good to be prepared for the big day. Raising a puppy is a lot of work, so getting ready and being organized in advance can be a big help in a new situation. It will allow you to stress less and simply be able to focus on your new puppy.
This list covers everything from general dog gear to health related supplies and more. However, as with everything, all dogs and families are different and thus this list may be extreme for some while others might even need to add onto it. Please use your own consideration as you go through it.
