Here’s a checklist of must-have essentials every first-time pet parent should know before the first wag or purr.

🍖 2. Food & Water Bowls
Invest in sturdy, non-slip bowls made from stainless steel or ceramic.

🏡 6. Safe Home Setup
Pets are naturally curious.
Keep electrical cords out of reach, secure small objects, and set up baby gates if needed.
Create a calm corner where they can retreat when tired or overwhelmed.
🩺 7. Health & Vet Essentials
Schedule a vet visit within the first week.
Ask about vaccinations, flea prevention, and nutrition.
Keep a small pet first aid kit — it’s a game-changer in emergencies.
❤️ 8. Love & Patience
The best “supply” you can offer is your time and affection.
Give your pet consistency, reassurance, and gentle boundaries.
That’s how trust — and lifelong companionship — begins.
✨ Final Thoughts
Becoming a pet parent is more than caring — it’s connecting.
With the right essentials and a loving mindset, you’ll build a home full of warmth, tail wags, and happy memories.
