Puppy preparation shopping list

[AmongstTheCosmos]

Hello, we will soon be getting an 8 week old golden retriever puppy. The breeder has said she will send us a shopping list but I was hoping to tap into the collective knowledge here to help me start my shopping list!

I'd be especially grateful if you have recommendations for specific products etc.

Thanks in advance!

I am currently going through this, and Collar, Lead, Harness, ID Tag, Bed, Heart Beat Teddy, Toys, Puppy Pads, I have lots of stuff already as already have a dog, so I have a Crate, Bowls, Blankets, Vet Bed, Brushes, Combs, Nail Clippers, Tick Remover and many more things that I don't need but want.

Get only the essentials and play it by ear when puppy arrives. We spent hundreds on our puppy, gimmicks and all, we just ended up with a cupboard full of unused items as she’s more interested in her tennis balls (which can be bought in bulk from eBay).

Recommendation - Kong to be filled with treats and stored in freezer, give to pup when you are away from home to relieve boredom.
