Puppy Supplies to Have at First

____ Puppy food: Eagle Pack Small Breed Puppy 
____ Treats for training!
____ Food and water bowls -- stainless steel holds up best. These tend to last a very long time.
____ A flat cloth collar that will fit with about 2 inches of room to spare, not enough that the puppy can wiggle out of it.
____ An ID tag to go on the collar. Even if your puppy doesn't have a name yet, it's a good safety measure to get that ID tag on.
____ A short leash, usually 6 feet.
____ Nature's Miracle or other enzyme cleaner to neutralize any urine that gets onto floors or carpets. The enzymes greatly reduce or eliminate the odor that would draw the pup back to the same place for the same purpose.
____ A crate or some baby gates or other way to create a small area the puppy will be in when you are not able to watch the puppy.
____ Bedding for the crate, something easily washable. You can start out with old towels.
____ A puppy Kong, a Nylabone, and maybe a few other toys. Be sure the toys don't have buttons or other things that could be a hazard if the puppy chews the toy to shreds. Of all the puppy supplies on this list, people sometimes overdo with this one. You don't need twenty-five toys!
____ One or more ways to clean up the poop that your puppy will producing regularly. If you will be walking your puppy in neighborhoods,you can use a little waist pack and some plastic bags from the grocery store. Also, for yard use, a long-handled pooper scooper is very useful.
