Puppy Supplies – Very Essential Tips For Bring a New Puppy At Home

"Thinking of bringing home a puppy or a dog? It is an investment for a life time and thus should be thought over very carefully. You need to be prepared for taking care of your new puppy or dog, just as you would of a new baby. You must make your house ready for the new dog so that your puppy or dog can adjust to his new surroundings. Go through the available dog supplies catalogs to understand what exactly you will need in order to be able to do this. These dog supplies catalogs are easily available online at also at your nearest library or a local pet store too.
Essentially you would need to following items ready once you decide to bring home your new dog or puppy - Dog food, Dog Food Bowls, Dog Collars, Beds and crates or kennels for your dog, Dog Grooming kit and toys for your new family member. Now let’s look at each of these separately.
Dog Collars: You might say that a dog collar should be bought AFTER you have brought the dog home and know its size, however, remember that you would need to take your dog to a veterinarian for his early on checkups. For this you would need a collar and leash or a pet carrier so having them early on is important. A buckle collar is great no matter what size your dog is.
Dog Food: Though it is always best to wait and see your new puppy or dog before you buy the whole quota of his food supplies, it is also advisable to carry a small packet of doggy kibbles beforehand. This is good for big and small dogs alike as they can both eat a small kibble. Once you do bring in your dog, make sure you are always stocked up with his food as much as yours. With so many dog food brands available in the market today you can choose whichever you like - but always keep in mind that it is not necessary for the most expensive brand to be the best choice for your dog.
Dog Food Bowls: You must buy two bowls - one for food and one for water. Make sure they are made of heavy ceramic or stainless steel. Plastic Dog Food Bowls are no good as puppies find them easy to chew.
Dog Grooming Kit: You will need to a buy a good quality dog shampoo, brush or comb, clippers for his toe nails and an absorbent and soft bath towel. Make sure you choose these carefully and ensure they do not have any side effects.
Dog Toys: You can browse through a dog supplies catalogs and decide what toys to bring for your pet. Puppies love toys and so do some big dogs. Soft, chewy rubber balls and other toys made of the same material work the best for your dog. These can also be filled with doggy treats and work very well in training your dog.
Dog beds, kennels or crates: You must have a soft, comfortable and cosy bed for your dog to help it settle down in its new environment. If you choose a doggy crate for your dog then lining it up properly with soft cushions and blankets will help the dog settle in its new home. Dog Kennels and dog houses are a great way to make your dog feel comfortable. Use these only if you have a big backyard where you can place a kennel or house.
Take time to choose the things carefully for your dog and you will be rewarded with a happy and playful puppy who simply adores you.
