We're totally psyched for you! Getting your first puppy can be a very exciting time, and preparing is tons of fun. A few of the basics you'll need to include a puppy bed, bowls for large breed puppy food and water, a leash and collar for walkies, and a name tag.
Even if you’re getting yourself a short-haired Lab, it’s super-nice to have a brush for your little one. This is not only a great way to keep stray hair off your furniture (or try to, at least!), but a beautiful way to bond with your new best friend. And don’t forget toys, either — we’ve prepared some lovely tips about how you and puppy can play together with them.
Last, but certainly not least, a six-month-old puppy will already have been on solid puppy food for a while. So stock up on some of the best large breed puppy food, some of what they’re already eating, and get ready to gradually transition them over a week.
