Advice for new Dog Owners
Top 5 Things Every Dog Should Have
Reprinted from: Entirely Pets.com
1. Leash:
Get a leash for your dog that keeps your dog safe, and choose a length that allows for good control. Check
out our wide selection of dog leashes.
2. Bed:
Dog beds prevent your dog from using your expensive couch or chair and are actually good for the animal.
Also, dogs, especially larger ones, should not lie on hard surfaces. They can develop calluses or sores over
bony protrusions (such as the elbow). Dogs with arthritis can especially benefit from a dog bed, especially one
crafted for arthritic dogs, like the Thermal Dog Cushion.
3. Toys:
Games allow us to build a relationship with our pets through play, and toys are an important part of these
games. Buy toys that lets your dog mimic hunting behaviors like retrieving, herding and guarding. Also, chew
toys like KONG are essential to prevent your dog from chewing your belongings.
4. Crate:
As well as giving your dog a safe, cozy place to stay, crates can make training your dog a lot easier.
Housebreaking goes much faster when you use a crate and destructive chewing becomes easier to control.
Traveling is also safer for both you and your dog when he's in a crate.
5. Treats:
Treats help reinforce the special bond between you and your dog, and are a good way to reinforce positive
behavior. Treats are also a definite help during training. You can make your dog's treat a healthy, low calorie
treat like Joint Treats® that also helps keep joints healthy.
Editor's note:
To the above list we recommend that you monitor your pet's health as you would your child's. Pets are susceptible to
the same numbers of viruses and ailments that humans are. Since they cannot talk they have to rely on their "humans"
to monitor their health and to provide the proper medications for the cure and the prevention of disease. Pet meds are
normally less expensive than those for humans but can become very costly. Several of the above listed pet meds
merchants will provide you with FDA approved meds for your pet at far lower prices than you will find at your local vet.
