The expense of owning a pet can be staggering, but many of the items are one time purchases or things that will have to be replaced a few times.
New Puppy Checklist:
*Food (talk with the breeder or shelter to see what they have been feeding the puppy. It is important to keep them on the same diet)
*Bowls for food and water
*Mat to set the bowls on so they do not slide all over the floor.
*Collar
*Leash
*Dog Tag with Dog's Name and your contact information
*Kennel (Buy one that the puppy can grow with. Many of them have a divider built in that can be removed once the puppy is potty trained and becomes bigger.)
*Toys (one ball, one rubber bone, and one stuffed animal)
*Doggie Bed
*Treats for training purposes
*Pooper Scooper and Doggy Trash bags for when you go on walks.
*Doggy Shampoo
*Doggy Brush
*Schedule a visit to the Veterinarian
