Puppy Starter Kit - What's Included?
Share
Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, but it can also feel like there are a hundred things to prepare.
To make the transition easier, every puppy from Puppies by Aylabella goes home with a Puppy Starter Kit containing practical essentials for feeding, grooming, potty training, walking and settling into their new home.
We've chosen items that help you get started with the basics from day one.
🍽️ Feeding Essentials
Puppy Kibble — A Full Bag
Your puppy goes home with a pack of their familiar puppy kibble.
Keeping your puppy on their existing food initially can help make the transition to a new home smoother. If you plan to change their diet, we recommend doing so gradually rather than making an immediate switch.
Food Bowl
A dedicated food bowl is included so you have one less thing to prepare before your puppy arrives.
Feeding Mat
Puppies aren't always the neatest eaters! A feeding mat helps protect your floor from spills and makes the feeding area easier to keep clean.
🧼 Grooming & Hygiene
Slicker Brush
Poodle mixes and other longer-coated breeds benefit from regular brushing to prevent tangles and matting.
Your puppy's slicker brush can be introduced gradually as part of their grooming routine.
Pet Eye Cleaner
A fine-toothed comb is included for everyday eye-area cleaning when needed.
Wet Wipes
Perfect for those everyday puppy messes — from muddy paws to little accidents.
Having a pack of wipes at home makes cleaning up after a new puppy much easier.
🚽 Potty Training Essentials
Pee Tray
A pee tray provides your puppy with a designated place to toilet at home and can help establish a consistent potty routine.
Pee Pads
Pee pads are included to get you started with indoor potty training.
Consistency is key when teaching a puppy where to toilet. Take your puppy to the designated area regularly and reward them calmly when they get it right.
Poop Bags
Because puppy life comes with plenty of poop!
We've included poop bags so you're ready for walks and outdoor toilet breaks.
Poop Bag Holder
A convenient poop bag holder makes it easy to bring your bags along when you're out with your puppy.
🐾 Walking Essentials
Collar
Your puppy comes with a collar for everyday wear and identification.
As puppies grow quickly, check the fit regularly to ensure the collar isn't becoming too tight.
Harness
A harness provides an alternative to attaching a leash directly to your puppy's collar and is particularly useful when introducing your puppy to walks.
Puppies grow quickly, so remember to regularly check the fit as your puppy gets bigger.
Leash
A matching leash completes your puppy's basic walking setup and gives you what you need for those first outdoor adventures.
🎀 A Little Something Extra
Bandana
Because bringing home a new puppy should be cute too.
Your puppy comes with a bandana that can be worn for photos, outings or simply looking adorable at home.
Bowtie
For those extra-special puppy moments! Birthdays, first outings, family photos or simply because they're cute.
Plush Toy
A soft plush toy gives your puppy something familiar and comforting to interact with while settling into their new environment.
Play should always be supervised, particularly with puppies who like to chew or pull at toys.
More Than Just a Starter Kit
Alongside the physical items in your starter kit, we also provide guidance on your puppy's existing routine, feeding, settling in, basic care and the transition into their new home.
Your puppy's first few days are about adjusting to a completely new environment. Keeping things familiar, predictable and simple can help make the transition smoother for both puppy and owner.
