Read About Choosing a Kit for New Puppies

Kits for new puppies should have basics such as first aid products, feeders and leashes. But they should have some fun thrown in as well.

Things to consider: Being prepared for a puppy's antics, dog lover gifts, and a checklist of puppy supplies.

  • First Aid Readiness - Kit for new puppies that does not include a basic first aid kit needs to be supplemented with one. A first aid kit for new puppies is every bit as important as bringing home from the store for new puppies your standard food, dishes and bowls, and collars and leashes. Puppies get into all sorts of unpredictable trouble in their first few weeks and months in a new home. Be sure you are prepared to take care of them when it happens.

  • Gift Giving - A perfect dog lover gift is a kit for new puppies. Even if your new puppy-owning friend has all the supplies she thinks she needs for her new arrival, you can never really have enough. A kit that contains dog treats, dog toys, dog chews and bones, dog grooming supplies, and maybe collars and leashes or dishes and bowls will never go to waste.

  • Supplies Stash - Do not ever bring a new puppy home without first having all the supplies in place that you will need to care for her. If you have gotten your new pup spontaneously, however, or are in a rush to get her home, you can always fine-tune exactly what supplies to get her later, but for now at least head to the store for new puppies and pick up a basic kit for new puppies.
