New Puppy Checklist
Home Safety & Setup
Puppy playpen or exercise pen
Gives them a safe space when you can't watch them every second.
Baby gates
Stairs are a real injury risk for young puppies.
Cord protectors and outlet covers
Puppies chew cords. This is a serious hazard worth ten minutes of prep.
Bitter deterrent spray
For furniture legs and baseboards.
Health & Travel
Crash-tested car seat or carrier
For the ride home and every ride after. Never loose in the car.
Pet first aid kit
Flea, tick and heartworm prevention
Talk to your vet about timing and dosing for your puppy's weight.
Dog toothbrush and toothpaste
Small breeds are prone to dental disease. Starting young makes it routine.
Puppy-safe calming aid
Optional, but helpful for the transition week or long travel.
