1. Puppies will need their own from day one. a placeeven if you plan to let him into your bed. It is great if it is a mattress, which is desirable to “dress” in a removable pillowcase, which is convenient to replace with another and wash. However, keep in mind that dogs love to “dig” the bedding, and the mattress can quickly become unusable. You can equip a plastic trough as a couch where you lay baby blankets. It is important that the place is located away from drafts, not on the aisle and away from heating appliances. Ideally, if the puppy can see the whole room from his seat. On sale there are also ready-made beds for dogs.
2. Fry food. At first, feed the puppy what he ate from the breeder. All changes in the dog’s diet are introduced gradually.
3. Bowls – Separately for food and water.
4. Collar. It is important that the collar fastens quickly and easily, and it is good if the size is adjustable. The collar for a puppy should not be rigid.
5. harness. If the harness is properly fitted, it is the best ammunition for the dog. However, before buying a harness, you need to measure the puppy.
6. Leashes. It is advisable to have two leashes – a short one (about 1 meter) and a long one (at least 3 meters). The carabiner should be as light as possible, but at the same time strong enough. Roulette is not the best choice.
7. Diapers or newspapers for the toilet.
8. Toys (at least a few pieces), and different ones are better – so you will quickly understand what your puppy likes: cords, rubber squeakers, balls or faux fur friends.
9. chewing gum – for example, dried treats (such as trachea or ox root) or deer antlers.
10. Medicine chest, and in the first place – means for the treatment and treatment of wounds and medicines for gastrointestinal disorders.
11. Care Supplies for a puppy. The set depends on the breed of the dog and the features of caring for it, but the furminator, comb, nail clipper, shampoo, towel, eye and ear cleaners will not hurt.

And, of course, for the arrival of a new household, you should prepare an apartment, including hiding away all items that are dangerous for the puppy and especially valuable to you. Carpets should be removed until the puppy learns cleanliness.
