supplies for a new puppy
What materials need to buy a new puppy?
I never had a dog before, but we are thinking of buying one. Can anyone provide a list of items that need to buy before introducing the puppy to our house? We have no idea, other than food, what else to buy.
– Containers of food and water – flat collar and leash (I recommend lupine, are guaranteed even if chewed, http://lupinepet.com/) – nameplate if you lose your pet – grooming supplies, which vary depending on their breed – dog shampoo – dog toothbrush – dog toothpaste – nail clippers – Bristle brush or slicker brush – comb (optional) – Toys – Kong – http://www.kongcompany.com/ – a rattle toy – toy – a toy hug – a toy tug – is – box – bed – pet stain cleaner from accidents at home during the burglary – bitter apple spray to deter chewing (note: only 50% of dogs actually respond to the bitter apple spray many of them actually like the taste of that in this case, the use of pepper in place …) – Pet food quality (See below) ====================== When choosing a dog food: Read the ingredients in the foods you buy. Go with a quality food for dogs high. (Or in your case, the counterpart of puppy food brand you choose). A grain should not be in the first two ingredients ingredients (Maize and are mainly fillers, dogs do not digest it well). Avoid foods that have a lot of "derivatives" in the list. Here is a article about byproducts: http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=ingrd And an article about ingredients to avoid: http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=badingredients — Some good foods are: Merrick – * Solid Gold http://www.merrickpetcare.com/ – http://www.solidgoldhealth.com/ * Canidae – Timberwolf http://www.canidae.com/ * – * Http://timberwolforganics.com/ Orijen – http://www.championpetfoods.com/ ORIJEN / ORIJEN / * Wellness – Chicken Soup brand * http://www.omhpet.com/wellness/ – http://www.chickensoupforthepetloverssoul.com/ * Innova – Innova EVO http://www.naturapet.com/brands/innova.asp * – http://www.naturapet.com/brands/evo.asp Or visit this website for good foods: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/ (I recommend only feeding foods rated 4, 5 or 6 stars. Anything 3 stars or less, I like to avoid.) — Stay away from store brands for groceries. They are of low quality foods chalk full of fillers, preservatives, colorings, etc. (Grocery store foods are those like Beneful, Old Roy, Alpo, Pedigree, Purina, etc.) Beware "premium" foods. "Premium" does not mean good nutritionally, and is not a food of high nutritional quality. Has the same sort of ingredients as grocery store foods, just a little better quality the ingredients are not as good. (Premium foods are those like Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, etc.) Another thing to beware:. A lot of veterans to recommend what they sell in their office. They benefit from brands that keep their shelves, that's why I push it. The truth is that VET schools do not focus much on nutrition. Not that a vet is a vet because he recommends the wrong foods, many of the veterans just are told "this is good food", so to go the message along without proper nutrition knowledge. Also, some dog food brands (like Hills) support vet schools, so veterinarians have heard of him from time to begin college, what makes you think that is good too. — When switching foods, do it gradual. I do this for a week time period two: 25% food A, 75% food B 50% food A, 50% food B 75% food A food, 25% B 100% food A
