SUPPLY LIST

Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience, but it also comes with a bit of preparation! To help make the transition smoother for both you and your furry friend, I’ve put together a list of suggested supplies every new puppy parent should consider. While this isn’t an exhaustive checklist, it covers many essentials—and a few of my personal favorites that I’ve found especially helpful. Some of the items listed may include affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you if you decide to make a purchase.

Let’s get your puppy journey started off right!                      xo - Taylor
