Puppies are a lot of work, so before you get one make sure you have the time for them. Once you decide to get one, you will need to get certain items. The puppy starter kit is things you will want to have for the puppy. Everything down below will depend on how much you have to spend and how big the breed of your puppy will become.
- Food and Water Bowls: Puppies will eat and drink more since they are growing. Make sure they know exactly where it is located. http://www.petco.com/product/127905/Harmony-Stainless-Steel-Woof-Copper-Dog-Bowl.aspx?CoreCat=certona-_-ProductDetail_9-_-Harmony%20Stainless%20Steel%20Woof%20Copper%20Dog%20Bowl-127905
- Crate: You can place the puppy in the crate for night-time when they sleep or in the day when you leave. This way you do not have to worry about the puppy having accidents all over the house. Also, you can put an old blanket or towel in the crate, so the puppy will be comfortable. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=24435
- Training Treats: These treats are small enough to give over and over while training. http://www.petco.com/product/126244/Crazy-Dog-Train-Me-Mini-Training-Reward-Bacon-Dog-Treats.aspx?CoreCat=OnSiteSearch
- Bed: Place the bed in a spot you are in a lot. The puppy will enjoy the bed and know their area. http://www.petco.com/product/127999/You-And-Me-Supreme-Slumbers-Gray-Orthopedic-And-Memory-Foam-Mat.aspx?CoreCat=MM_DogSupplies_Beds
- Potty Pads: I only recommend potty pads for small breed puppies. Otherwise, it gets really messy and big breeds will not be able to use it for long. http://www.petco.com/product/3026/Four-Paws-Wee-Wee-Puppy-Pads.aspx?CoreCat=OnSiteSearch
- Toys: There are many different kinds, but find which ones your puppy likes the most. It could be a ball, chew toys, squeaky toys, or something else, every dog is different. http://www.petco.com/product/10375/Puppy-KONG-Dog-Toys.aspx?CoreCat=OnSiteSearch
- Bones: Puppies really love chewing and having bones teaches them what they can chew on. If you do not have any the puppy could start to chew on furniture and whatever they feel like. http://www.petco.com/Shop/Product.aspx?sku=2411356&CoreCat=Related_Products
- Puppy Food: When going to get dog food make sure it is meant for puppies. In puppy food there is more calories and things to help them grow. http://www.petco.com/shop/searchresults.aspx?Ntt=puppy+food&x=0&y=0
- Collar and Leash: This will have the puppy get use to something around their necks and leading them. Then when you are allowed to start walking them it should be easier. http://www.petco.com/Shop/Product.aspx?sku=2132357&CoreCat=Related_Products
