This checklist is designed to help you prepare for bringing your new puppy home. Everything is organized into sections so you know what things are for. If you right-click the image to the left you can print it and bring it shopping with you. Alternatively, here is an Amazon list so you can easily add everything to your shopping cart. http://a.co/bZkcKVi(Do not forget to get your dog an ID tag, Amazon would not let me add it to the wishlist because it is a custom item). Additionally, each item is listed on this post with an individual link.

Help
Don’t wait until disaster strikes. Have a plan for your dog ahead of time. Often a puppy is more work than people realize, have a support system in place before you bring your puppy home.

Things your puppy does not need
A bedMost young puppies chew or pee on their beds. Wait until they are a little older before investing in nice bed, to ensure they are mature enough not to eat or pee on it.
A laser pointer
Never play with any dog of any age with a laser pointer.
