Bringing home a puppy is joyous and busy.
Grab this warm, fun checklist of aesthetic essentials, health basics and first-month must-haves for your new best friend.
Welcoming a new puppy into your home means enchantment, puppy kisses… and a good bit of preparation.
Before those fluffy ears arrive, let’s ensure you’re ready with a thoughtful setup that blends practicality with aesthetic flair.
Here is our essentials-list:
Essentials for the first week
• A comfortable bed – and easy to wash
• Two bowls (food + water) – choose materials like ceramic or stainless steel
• A safe chew toy or two – look for non-toxic materials
• A collar or harness and leash – ideally lightweight for their little bodies and necks
• Puppy-safe grooming kit – gentle brush, nail trimmer, wipeable mats
Health & training basics
• Find a veterinarian and schedule first check-up & vaccinations
• Puppy food appropriate for breed/size — check packaging and feeding guide
• Potty training supplies – pads, sprays, designated area
• Crate or safe space for naps and overnight
• Basic training books or apps – or enroll in puppy class
• Microchip + ID tag – stylish tag with your pup’s name + phone
Stylish extras that elevate the space
• Toy basket or crate cover
• A chic leash hook by the door that doubles as décor
• A feeding station with elevated legs and matching mat
• A pet-friendly, stylish blanket that you’ll be proud to show
Tips for a smooth transition
• Keep introduction to new people, pets and rooms slow and positive
• Maintain a consistent feeding and potty schedule
• Make sure the space is safe: hide wires, remove small objects, secure cabinets
• Use positive reinforcement (treats, praise) not punishment
