Popsugar Pets Staying Home Checklist For a New Pet If You Just Got a New Pet, Here's a List of Everything You Need 3 April 2020 by India Yaffe Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Lexi Lambros As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. One of the silver linings of our current situation is that animal shelters in New York City are running out of pets, because so many people are looking to adopt right now. Since most of us are spending our time at home, it's a great time to give a furry friend a home. In the last two weeks, three of my closest friends have gotten new dogs or cats, and frankly, it's heartwarming. If you want a little comfort right now, getting a pet might be just the thing you need. These 17 essentials will help you care for the newest member of your family. From leashes and collars to beds and toys, we've rounded up everything. Now, all you have to do is come up with a cute name!
