You should prepare to bring home a new puppy by ensuring you have all the necessary supplies and items. Most importantly, you'll need an in-depth understanding of the care needs and requirements of the puppy's breed. Small breed puppies will have different needs from medium and large breed puppies. Different breeds have different grooming needs. Some breed types will require more exercise than others, while some may need thorough behavioral training as soon as they are brought home. 

Necessary supplies and items include food and water bowls, leashes and collars, toys, bedding, food, parasite prevention, training treats, and a kennel for safe housing when unsupervised. The brand of food you feed your puppy needs to be specified for puppies of the same breed size to ensure they are receiving adequate nutrition as they grow and mature. 

Finally, you should make an appointment with your chosen veterinarian soon after they are brought home to ensure they are healthy and parasite free. Certain vaccinations are required for puppies of specific ages, so you will need to stay on top of vaccination appointments. It is important to remember that taking ownership of a puppy can be a 10-15 year commitment.
