By PawHaus – Your Pet’s Happy Place
Bringing home a new pet is one of life’s sweetest joys. But along with cuddles and wagging tails comes responsibility. To make sure your new furry family member feels safe, healthy, and loved, here’s a checklist of must-have pet essentials every new fur parent needs.
🏠 1. Comfortable Bed & Safe Space
Just like us, pets need a cozy space to rest and feel secure.
✔ Soft and washable pet bed
✔ Crate or pet playpen for training and safety
✔ Blankets or comfort plush toys for added warmth
Tip: Place their bed in a quiet corner so they can relax and adjust to their new home.
🍖 2. Healthy Food & Feeding Accessories
Nutrition matters from day one.
✔ High-quality pet food designed for their age and breed
✔ Food and water bowls (preferably non-slip and stainless steel)
✔ Slow feeder bowls for pets who eat too quickly
Pro Tip from PawHaus: Always consult a vet when choosing between dry, wet, raw, or special diet food.
🎾 3. Toys for Play & Mental Stimulation
Pets, especially puppies and kittens, are full of energy and curiosity.
✔ Chew toys, squeaky toys, tug ropes, or feather wands
✔ Puzzle toys or treat-dispensing balls for enrichment
✔ Soft toys for comfort and companionship
Why it’s essential: Keeps them mentally stimulated and prevents boredom and destructive behavior.
🐾 4. Collar, Harness & ID Tag
Safety comes first—indoors and outdoors.
✔ Adjustable collar or harness for daily walks
✔ ID tag with pet’s name and your contact info
✔ Leash (standard and retractable options)
Even if your pet stays indoors, an ID tag can be a lifesaver in case they wander off.
🛁 5. Grooming Basics
Keeping your pet clean and hygienic is key to a happy and healthy life.
✔ Pet-friendly shampoo and conditioner
✔ Brush or comb suitable for their coat type
✔ Nail clippers or grinder
✔ Ear cleaning solution and pet wipes
PawHaus Tip: Start grooming early to help your pet get used to the process.
🚑 6. Health & First Aid Essentials
Be prepared for small accidents or emergencies.
✔ Pet-safe first aid kit (bandages, antiseptic, tweezers)
✔ Flea & tick prevention products
✔ Deworming tablets and basic vitamins
✔ Vet health card and vaccination records
💩 7. Litter or Potty Training Supplies
Make house training easier and stress-free.
✔ Litter box and clumping litter (for cats)
✔ Training pads or indoor grass patches (for dogs)
✔ Poop bags and scooper for walks
