Dear For My Puppy Customer,
We know it is a big decision to bring a new furry bundle of joy home. So we want to make this transition as easy as possible by providing you with everything you will need and more. A wriggling, licking and squirming little one brings happiness and energy to the home, but making him comfortable can be a trying experience.
One of the first things you will need is to create a safe, warm and comfortable sleeping area. A dog crate lined with a soft blanket should do the trick. He may eventually grow out of it, but if you let him sleep with you instead of on his own dog bed he will think he can do that for the rest of his life. A dog kennel or crate is also great for house training as they will not want to soil their bed, so they will learn to hold it. But you might want to place a training pad inside just in case.
Besides a bed pet will need other items such as a dog bowl or bowls for feeding and watering. Some animals prefer running water from a pet fountain or bubbler. Equipped with a filter your furry friend will always get the most refreshing drink possible. And while you are away at work dog feeders ensure your friend will not go hungry.
But this is not all your child of fur will need. Investing in a collar is a great way to ensure your new little one has proper identification should he get lost and makes it easy to attach a dog leash to go for walks outdoors. Of course a dog harness would work as well. Available in many styles and varieties, dog collars can be inflatable to prevent irritating of wounds or stitches. A dog training collar can help teach your little guy to behave and a bark collar will deter him from raising hell in the neighborhood or just in the middle of the night. No matter what kind of collars or leashes you choose you can help your pooch make a statement on couture fashion.
Of course dog clothes can do this as well. But more than being just for fun, some items can protect your furry friend as well. A lifejacket ensures you can bring him along in the kayak while grip-tex boots let him walk more comfortably in the snow or on hot black top. But if these are not concerns you can simply have fun on occasion with a dog costume for the holidays.
If you find clothes for animals silly you are not alone. And there are other things you can invest in for your little one. While pet-proofing your house by putting chewable objects out of his reach, you can also install a dog door so he can go in and out with ease. Of course you will have to train him how to use the pet door and encouragement with treats works well.
But before you let him roam free outside you should invest in a dog fence for your yard. One of the most popular types is the invisible fence which shocks your pooch if he tries to leave your yard. If this sounds cruel to use, you could invest in a dog run, to give him a restricted place in which to play. Another easy way to keep your furry friend out of trouble when he is outside is by investing in a dog pen for the yard. You can place a dog house inside to allow respite from the sun and protection from rain and cold temps. However, you should let him out for exercise though or he may grow to be overweight. And if you are planning to allow extended periods of time outdoors you should invest in flea and tick protection such as advantage or frontline plus which require simple monthly applications.
Creating safe areas for your new friend to play inside and outside of the house is very important. Inside keep him on linoleum or tiled surfaces and use dog pads until he is housebroken. An easy way to restrict where he goes is by using a pet gate in doorways. Much like a baby gate, dog gates block areas that are unsafe for your little one. Usually your puppy likes to be wherever you are so investing in dog steps will help him get to higher spots like a bed or chair. Once he is too old to go up steps a dog ramp will be easier for him to maneuver.
Another popular piece of dog furniture to invest in is a grooming table. Keeping your little one clean and healthy is very important and pet furniture such as a table and wash basin will make this process safe and easy. You should invest in grooming supplies such as shampoo, clippers and a good brush like the Furminator to control shedding and keep his coat soft and glossy. While you are at it you should keep your pooch’s breath fresh with dog dental supplies such as a toothbrush and toothpaste too.
Once your child of fur is trained and maintained you will probably want to show him off to friends and family. When traveling, you should place him in a dog carrier to keep him safe and comfortable. If walking, you can try a soft –sided pet carrier that looks like a purse or tote bag. If you want to take Fido for a run, but he is too small to keep pace with you a jogging dog stroller would be a great investment. Available in several sizes and varieties a pet stroller makes it easy to take your pup on tour. And if traveling by car you can try a dog seat, which is much like a child car seat. Corralling your pet in one place with a view out the window, a pet seat, will make the journey more pleasant for the both of you.
Owning a child of fur should be a fun and rewarding experience. There is a reason why they are called man’s best friend. But sadly your pooch cannot live forever so we carry pet urns for your loved one as well. Investing in a pet memorial will ensure your fur baby will live forever in your heart.
