There are several necessary items you may want to have on hand when you take your puppy home.

1. A small carrier to safely transport your puppy.

2. Purina Puppy Chow. This is what your puppy has been eating.

3. A small kennel to keep your puppy safe while you are sleeping or busy.

4. A small harness and leash for taking your puppy outside.

5. A few safe toys for puppy to chew on while they're teething.

6. Sturdy stainless-steel dishes for water and food.

7. An old towel or blanket for taking your puppy home. (Sometimes car sickness or potty accidents happen.)

8. A wire foldable exercise playpen for outside play and potty time. The one we use is 24 inches high.
