Shopping for new puppies can be stressful for first-time dog parents. Many puppy shopping lists I found online have lots of fancy, nice-to-have things that are affiliated with vendors which I personally found unnecessary. If you are just looking for the essentials and must-haves, as I am buying things for my second puppy, I try to reflect and come up with a short shopping list that can get the dog parents at least 80% ready. Life is really busy, so I aim to stick with the 80/20 rule. I will not claim my list to be the ultimate, comprehensive shopping list, but this should contain the must-haves and essentials for new puppies.
