Your puppy's first 30 days, made simple.
A free week-by-week checklist for sleep, potty, food and chewing. Plus $10 off your first visit to the shop, where we'll fit your puppy's collar for free.
One small list each week.
Not a 60-page ebook. Just what matters this week, in the order it matters, so you can stop googling at 2 a.m. and enjoy your puppy.
The shopping list
What you really need, and what can wait.
- Crate with a divider
- Their current food (don't switch yet)
- Collar, ID tag, 6 ft leash
Settle in
Sleep, potty and a calm first week.
- Simple potty schedule
- Surviving the first nights
- Booking the first vet visit
Routine & chewing
Meals, first lessons, teething.
- Switching food the gentle way
- Name, sit and come in 5 minutes a day
- What to chew instead of your shoes
Meet the world
Confident puppy, happy walks.
- Safe socializing (ask your vet when)
- How long walks should be
- Checking the collar as they grow
The first month is a lot.
Everyone has advice. The internet has more. Most new puppy parents end up with a cupboard of things they didn't need and still no idea why the puppy cries at night.
Paws
welcome
Bring your puppy. Leave with the right stuff.
Online you guess the size, the food and the toy. In the shop we can just look at your puppy.
The starter kit, minus the guesswork.
The checklist's shopping list fits on one card. Bring it in and we'll help you tick it off.
- A crate sized for the adult dog (with a divider for now)
- The food they already eat (switch slowly, if at all)
- Three chew textures (soft, firm, rubber)
- A washable bed (the fancy one can wait until teething ends)
For people who treat their dog like family, from the very first day.
Happy Paws is a small, local pet shop. We'd rather help you start right than sell you a cart full of things you'll return.
The checklist is our way of saying hello before you ever walk in.

Is this vet advice?
No. It's a practical checklist from a pet shop. For vaccines, health and when it's safe to meet other dogs, always follow your vet.
Do I have to bring my puppy?
No, but we'd love to meet them. It's also the easiest way to get the collar and harness size right.
