Dear pet parent congratulation on your new puppy arrival! You will experience a new life with your puppy. Always keep in mind that your puppy is separated from their mother and litter mates. You must always buy a puppy which is at least 48 days old. After buying a puppy make sure you examine your pup with a good veterinarian. As your puppy is going to experience new environment, sight, smells, noises away from his mother at your house. This can be challenging for you and your puppy. So you must take utmost care of your puppy during this period.

Puppies should be fed at the same time and at the same place each day. They will need four meals a day until they are four month old. After that they will need three meals a day until they are eight months old. They will need two meals a day until they are twelve months old, and then one meal a day after that.
BOWLS : One bowl for food and one bowl for water is must. Try to get heavy bowl so that it cannot tip over (Mostly Ceramic or Stainless steel).
BED : Preferably a comfortable soft bed or basket with walls so that your puppy will feel secured and protected. Line it up with soft blankets.
TOYS : Try to get as much as chewing bones, chew sticks, balls, playing articles so that your puppy would be completely engaged in that.
