Why you'll love it
The first weeks with a new puppy are pure joy and total chaos. There's a vet card shoved in a drawer, a feeding amount you half-remember from the breeder, a training tip from a YouTube video, and that quiet little worry: am I forgetting a shot? This printable new puppy checklist kit gathers all of it into one calm, good-looking place so you can stop keeping it in your head.
Print it once, slip the pages into a binder or pin them to the fridge, and suddenly the puppy's whole first year has a home. You'll know the next vaccine is due before the reminder text ever comes. You'll log how much you fed at 7am so your partner doesn't double up at noon. You'll watch the training checklist fill in — first night in the crate, first "sit," first walk that doesn't end in a tangle — and realize how far you've both come.
What makes it lovely (not just useful) is that it's designed to be lived with, not filed away. The layout is clean and warm, the milestone pages turn a messy puppy year into a keepsake you'll actually want to flip back through, and every sheet is roomy enough to write in by hand. It's the difference between surviving puppyhood and enjoying it. No app, no login, no clutter — just the printable puppy planner you'll reach for on day one and still be using at month ten.
What's inside
A complete 7-page first-year kit, delivered as one instant-download PDF:
- Puppy vaccination & deworming tracker — log each shot by age (DHPP, rabies, bordetella, deworming, flea/tick) with date given and date-due-next, so the puppy vaccination schedule lives on one page instead of a stack of receipts.
- Vet visit & medical records organizer — clinic name, microchip number, weights, notes from every appointment, and room for spay/neuter details. Hand it to a new vet or a boarding facility in seconds.
- Feeding schedule & food log — write in the brand, amount, and times so the whole household feeds the same way. Settles the "how much to feed a puppy" question and makes diet changes easy to track.
- Puppy training checklist — a gentle, check-it-off plan covering potty training, crate training, and first commands (sit, stay, come, leash manners), so you always know what to work on next.
- Emergency & pet-sitter info sheet — vet and emergency-vet numbers, feeding and medication instructions, quirks and commands. Leave it on the counter and any sitter is set.
- First-year milestone pages — gotcha day, first night home, first vet visit, first bath, and the little firsts in between — a keepsake to look back on.
All pages coordinate, so printed together they look like one thoughtful planner, not seven random worksheets.
Who it's for
For brand-new puppy parents who want to feel organized instead of overwhelmed in week one — and for anyone "preparing for a puppy" before the big day. It's also a genuinely thoughtful new puppy gift or dog mom gift: pair it with a leash or a bag of treats and you've given something far more useful than another squeaky toy. Foster families, breeders sending pups to new homes, and households juggling a puppy between two busy people will all find their footing faster with it.
Printing & how it works
It's an instant download — your print-ready PDF is available the moment you check out, with nothing shipped to wait for. The kit comes in both US Letter and A4, so it's ready to go wherever you are. Print it at home, send it to your office printer, or upload it at any print shop. And because it's yours to keep, you can print it as many times as you like — restart a page, run a fresh copy for a second puppy, or reprint the milestones if one gets a muddy paw on it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a physical product or a digital download?
It's a digital download. You'll receive a print-ready PDF file instantly after purchase — nothing ships, and there's nothing to wait for in the mail. Print it at home or at a shop whenever you're ready.
What size and format do the pages come in?
Every page is sized for both US Letter (8.5 × 11") and A4, included in the same download. The file is a standard PDF that opens on any phone, tablet, or computer and prints on a regular home printer.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes — print it as many times as you like, forever. If you start a page over, foster another litter, or welcome a second puppy down the road, just reprint whatever you need at no extra cost.
Can I get it printed at a shop like Staples or Office Depot?
Absolutely. The PDF is print-shop friendly. Save it to a USB drive or upload it to your shop's online portal and ask for black-and-white or color on plain paper or cardstock — whatever you prefer.
Can I type into the pages, or are they handwrite-only?
The kit is designed to be printed and filled in by hand, with plenty of room to write. Many people pop the printed pages into a binder or sheet protectors and use a dry-erase marker on the trackers so they can reuse them.
Do you offer refunds?
Because this is an instant digital download that can't be returned once it's been delivered, all sales are final. If a file ever won't open or download, reach out and we'll make it right.
