Congratulations on your new puppy. This journal is designed to grow alongside your dog through their entire first year — the messiest, funniest, and most formative twelve months you’ll spend together.

There is no wrong way to fill these pages. Skip a week if life gets busy. Write one word or write a paragraph. The goal isn’t a perfect record — it’s a keepsake you’ll actually want to read again in ten years.

INSIDE YOU’LL FIND

☐ A profile page for your puppy’s story, breed, and origins

☐ A complete health record — vet visits, vaccines, medication, and microchip info

☐ Growth tracking for weight, height, and monthly changes

☐ A training log for commands, socialization, and milestones

☐ The 100 First Achievements checklist — this journal’s signature feature

☐ The Puppy Bucket List — 100 things to do together

☐ 52 weekly journal spreads, one for every week of the first year

☐ Memory pages for the big firsts you’ll want to remember forever

☐ An emergency information page to keep on hand

A tip: keep this journal near your puppy’s leash or food bowl. A five-second habit — jotting a line while the kettle boils — is how these books actually get filled in.
