Hello Families!
I understand that the pet market has grown substantially in recent years. It can be difficult knowing what items are truly needed before bringing home a puppy. The list below are only the basics that you will be thankful that you had on hand before walking your new puppy through the front door. Due to your layout of your home, certain items like baby gates may or may not be necessary. In full transparency, the best place for puppy toys is T.J. Maxx. They have it all! Amazon is great for the essentials, T.J.Maxx for toys and plushies, and the Foggy Dog is great for those who want some booshie options. I love Foggy Dog, they truly have some beautiful items and they set the standard for quality. Their collars have held up for years.
Happy shopping!
