Food labeled specifically for puppies or kittens is designed to support healthy growth and development.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A pet-safe <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovrs.com\/blog\/dog-food-dispenser-bowls\/\"><strong>food bowl<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/a>Stainless steel is a top choice because it\u2019s durable, easy to clean, and less likely to harbor bacteria. Other great options include ceramic, non-porous glass, and silicone.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A water bowl that\u2019s easy to clean<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Fresh water should always be available. Choose a bowl that\u2019s stable and washable\u2014especially important for curious puppies and playful kittens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the calmest pets can get startled in a new environment. Having the right safety tools from day one helps prevent scary situations like escapes or getting separated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New pet safety basics include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A collar with an ID tag<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Your pet should wear identification that includes your phone number and address (or at least a phone number) in case they slip out the door.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A secure leash (especially for dogs)<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Leash walks help with exercise, potty training, and safe outdoor time. Some cats can be <a href=\"http:\/\/trained\">leash trained<\/a> too\u2014with patience and a properly fitted harness.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A sturdy, comfortable carrier<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Every cat needs a carrier for vet visits and safe travel. Small dogs may also benefit from a carrier, especially during early training or for car trips.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A microchip with updated contact info<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Microchips are a simple, effective layer of protection if a collar comes off. Your veterinarian can microchip your puppy or kitten safely\u2014and your pet\u2019s chip should always be registered with current information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bedding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A cozy place to rest helps puppies and kittens feel secure in their new home. Your pet is adjusting to new smells, new sounds, and new people\u2014so giving them a safe \u201chome base\u201d makes a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>At least one washable pet bed<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Look for something easy to clean and the right size for your pet to stretch out comfortably.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to keep pets off furniture, consider placing extra beds in the rooms where your pet spends the most time. That way, they always have a comfortable spot nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bathroom Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both kittens and puppies need bathroom supplies to help them do their business without making a mess in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cat Supplies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most kittens instinctively use a litter box, so being prepared ahead of time is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have these ready before your kitten arrives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A litter box (or multiple)<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>A good rule of thumb is one litter box per level of your home (and more if you have multiple cats).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Litter<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Many kittens do best starting with a litter that feels similar to what they used at the shelter or breeder.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A litter scoop<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Daily scooping helps keep the box clean and encourages consistent use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dog Supplies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Puppies usually need a little extra help learning where to go, especially during the early weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stock up on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Puppy training pads<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>These are helpful during the early potty-training phase, especially overnight or during bad weather.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poop bags<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Essential for walks and outdoor potty breaks\u2014plus a responsible habit for every pet parent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Puppies and kittens are naturally curious, playful, and energetic. Toys help prevent boredom, encourage healthy development, and redirect behaviors like chewing or scratching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great starter toys include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Balls or fetch toys (dogs)<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stuffed mice or wand toys (cats)<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Puzzle toys<\/strong> for mental stimulation<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scratchers (cats)<\/strong> to protect your furniture<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chew toys (dogs)<\/strong> for teething and healthy chewing habits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A small variety goes a long way\u2014especially when you rotate toys to keep them interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the <strong><em>new puppy and kitten supplies<\/em><\/strong> you actually need. You can always spoil them with cute outfits, or buy grooming tools to pamper them at home, but these are the basics to get you started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Help for Puppies, Kittens, and Everything in Between<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovrs.com\/\"><strong>Oakland Veterinary Referral Services<\/strong><\/a><strong> (OVRS)<\/strong>, we love helping pet parents feel confident and prepared.
