Products Your Pet Will Need

By Sara Reighard


You may be a first time dog owner or it may be a long time since you had your last dog and are preparing to have a new one. If either of these are the case, it can be a helpful to know the things your new dog will need. There are hundreds of wonderful products available, but only a few of these are really very necessary for a dog to have.

Dogs, of course, must eat and drink so you will need a set of dog dishes. Typically ceramic or metal dishes are easy to clean and durable and you simply need dishes that are large enough to accommodate the amount of food your pet will need each day. Be sure to replace the water daily and check the water dish several times each day to ensure that there is plenty of water available for your dog.

Whether this is a dog puppy you bought or this is a rescue dog adopted, feeding and giving them the same type of food has to be done. If you change the type of food, chances are this will upset the dog's stomach and it is best to do this gradually if you really want to change it. Consult your veterinarian regarding the best types of foods for your dog and also are within your budget.

Dogs also will need a proper collar and leash. You will want a good, sturdy leash that is long enough for walking comfortably with your pet. For the collar, you can choose either a neck collar or a harness. A harness is an excellent option, especially for dogs with slender necks or those breeds that often have breathing issues. It's important to attach the dog's license tags as well as a tag that indicates the dog's name and your contact information should he or she become lost.

An important thing that you have to do for your dog is to a have a dog obedience training program that is complete. Obedience training is important and one reason that this is necessary is that it can keep your dog safe and away from harm. A dog that is obedient will not run away from your yard and will not run out of the car once the door is opened, and will just sit and stay. Dog trainings also will eliminate some potential problems encountered by owners, like dogs that bark too much or chews things, scratch doors, or jump on people.
