Bringing
a new dog home– some suggestions
|
Some
Home Equipment you will need :-
-
Collar :- Flat collar, leather or
strong fabric, choke collars are
not recommended especially for puppies.
Smaller breeds may be better in
a harness initially.
-
Lead :- A strong lead with a good
easy to use clip. You may also need
a longer lead for training purposes
and a Flex Lead (Extending lead)
allowing your puppy to run “free”
in open ground.
-
ID tag :- It is law in the UK for
all dogs to have an ID tag (on their
collars) to identify your dog, it
should show address, and telephone
number. You may also need to consider
a separate tag for holidays
-
Bed :- Buy the most suitable size
bed for your breed of dog but If
you are bringing home a puppy you
will need to start with a small
bed so your dog feels cosy and not
lost in a big bed.
-
Bowls :- You will need three bowls,
feeding, drinking and possibly a
non-spill drinking bowl for travelling.
-
Toys and Chews :- Most dogs like
toys, make sure they are well made
and strong, puppies have very sharp
teeth and love to chew.
-
Gates :- You may need to limit the
rooms your dog has access to, so
dog gates are an ideal solution.
-
A dog seat belt or harness
-
If you would rather your dog stayed
in the back of your vehicle you
wiil need a fence or gate or even
a dog crate.
