So you’re finally bringing home a pup after thinking through it for a while? Congratulations! We do hope you’re one-hundred percent committed to being a fur parent because pets deserve no less—and we know you know it, too! To make sure they’ll be fine upon moving in with you, especially during their first few days, here are some of the things you’d want to prepare:

Your puppy’s own comfortable nook

Whether you’re planning to keep them unleashed day in and day out or settled in a dog crate, see to it that the space is safe and comfortable for them. Give them a bed or a soft blanket that they can lie on, and remove objects that can possibly harm curious pups. Ideally, though, during their first few days, allow them to roam around the house first so they can be familiar with their new environment. Doing this will naturally tell you which part of the house they find most comfortable—which you can consider where to put their nook at!

Feeding bowl

Instead of getting just any other bowl available at home, it’s best to get them an actual dog feeding bowl, of course. Apparently, stainless bowls might be the better option compared to plastic bowls, considering their durability and even their more hygienic nature! You can get two bowls—one for their food and one for their water—or you can get one specifically for their food and simply invest in a hanging water bottle. If budget permits, you can consider getting a food mat as well to limit the mess of your pup during meals!

Puppy pad

To make sure your pup would not go around doing their business anywhere they please at home, especially when you’re not around either for work or for errands, prepare a puppy pad. Take the time each day to potty train them in a specific place where the puppy pad is, and you’ll thank yourself for making the effort for potty training!

Collar and leash

Apparently, dogs are not naturally comfortable being on a leash—it’s something that’s taught to them over time. Since you would have to put them on a leash at one point, either for your daily walks or out-of-town trips, it’s best to get them used to it as early as possible. Just make sure the collar is secure around the pup’s small head!

Toys

Toys may seem more of a leisure purchase than a need, but ICYDK, toys can actually help dogs in several ways! For one, chew toys help puppies’ teeth development, while soft toys help provide them comfort. Interactive toys and noise toys, on the other hand, can help lessen their separation anxiety and improve their socialization skills respectively. Just be sure that the toys are bigger than their mouths and are hardly destructible, so you don’t have to worry about them eating them out!

There will be other things you’ll have to get to address their needs down the line. But at least during their early days with you, see to it that you have these things at hand! Enjoy the whirlwind yet fulfilling journey of pet parenthood!

Puppy food

Remember: The food you should prepare for your puppy should be food that is ultimately fit for its age! Puppies require specific nutritional requirements during this age, so you should make sure their food can provide these for them.
