Adding a cute fur kid to your family? Here are all the necessary dog supplies you must keep

Dogs bring joy to the home. Not only do they make us move playfully, they also bring all the family members together. In order to keep the joy alive, taking care of their needs becomes necessary. Bringing in a pet without having the required supplies is a sin. It not only is immoral but is cruel. So, if you are planning to bring in a new family member, here are the necessary pet supplies that you must keep beforehand:

Pet Tag

Many state laws require a pet owner to get a license and a pet tag. Not conforming to the rules will put you in trouble. Even if your state’s law is loose about it, you might want to get a pet tag. It helps in bringing your pet back to you in case of any mishap. A dog tag contains the name of the dog and the phone number of the owner.

Clothes

Depending on the weather, your pet will require clothes. If it is too chill out there, buy a pair or more of dog sweaters. For scorching weather, you might consider buying ‘cool coats’. Even if the weather is gentle, you may consider buying some cotton clothes to prevent the dog from dirt and all. But know that you might want to leave your pet free because dogs love to stay without clothes.

Home and Bedding

If you really love your fur kid, go and buy a good home and bedding. There are many types of dog beds that you can consider buying. For example, there are orthopedic beds that are good for old dogs, standard beds, nest beds that have raised edges, etc. Try out sites like Shopify to look for varieties of beds at a good price. Also, dog crates can come helpful if you travel a lot with your dog. There are crates that can be used like a bag pack. This way, you can easily travel without worrying about leaving your beautiful pet at home.

Food and bowls

Buy a few bowls for food and water separately. These bowls come in many materials. For example, you might get ceramic bowls that look cool. However, ceramic bowls may break easily. Other bowl materials include plastic, steel, etc.

As far as it is about food, here are the necessary food items:

• Whole grains like millet, sorghum, oats, wheat, etc.
• Whole food ingredients – fruits, vegetables, raw meat, etc.
• Carrots, blueberries, leafy vegetables, ginger, eggs, pumpkin, parsley, etc.
• Chew bone dog

Grooming Kit

Dogs can be a real mess. You cannot control their playful movements. This means that they will need grooming like a child. But what do you need to groom your fur kid?

• Brush
• Comb
• Scissors and trimmers
• Dog shampoo and conditioner
• Nail trimmers
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• Gloves
• Dog deodorizer

Miscellaneous Supplies

Apart from the necessary supplies, there are other things that you might consider buying. For example, a dog leash is something you need to buy. Make sure the leash is of enough length. Also, if your dog is untrained, you might consider buying an exercise pen.

If you have adopted a dog, you might face a little unfriendliness. Here, buying a funnel collar will be helpful. Once your dog becomes friendly towards strangers, you may remove it.

These are all the basic supplies that you should keep beforehand to ensure a joyful togetherness. Love your dog and your dog will love you back.
