Essential stuff for your puppy...
-
Collar- the choice of a collar doesn't always come down to
fashion, a correct fitting collar is a must and should also
allow for growth.
-
Lead- control your puppy before it controls you!
-
Food Bowl- puppy's like to chew and play, a plastic bowl
may not be the best choice.
-
Cage or crate- somewhere safe for your puppy to sleep when
you are unable to watch them, also a great training aide.
-
Food- Its important to start your puppy with the right
food, a food full of nutrition and
antioxidants
for every
life stage.
-
Water Bowl- there should always be a source of water
available at all times, remember a bigger bowl for the summer
months.
-
Bedding- after a hard days play every pooch needs a place
to lay their weary head.
-
Brush- to keep their coat clean and healthy.
-
Toys- puppy's are inquisitive and like to play, if you
don't provide toys for them to chew your lounge suite could be
their next choice.
-
Treats- not the fattening type of treats but things like
rawhide bones and
pigs ears which aid in dental hygiene.
-
ID Tag- an absolute essential, unless your dog can speak.
Recommended stuff for pooch...
-
Harness- for car travel and to aid with early training.
Using a harness in the car from the start will greatly aid
with safety once your puppy starts growing.
-
Moulting Comb- for long haired and short haired dogs.
-
Flea Comb- don't kid yourself, all dogs will have fleas at
some stage.
-
Tick Prevention- especially in coastal regions, or in other
words where 90% of Australians live! Find out more about
Ticks in Australia.
-
Books- from general dog care to specific literature on
your puppy. If you have never been responsible for the breed
of puppy your planning for, this is a must.
