Brining a new dog into your home is an exciting time for the whole
family, not to mention the dog. Whether it's a new puppy, or an older
dog being rescued from the animal shelter, there are a lot of things
you are going to need to have for this new addition.
The first dog supplies you should buy, before you even bring the dog
home, are a food and water bowl, collar, leash, food and a bed. If you
have another dog in the home and were thinking of having them both
share a bowl, think again. Sometimes a new dog can be aggressive, or
be attacked when trying to feed in a joint bowl. It's best to let the
dog know what is his, for food and water.
You also need the food to fill that bowl. If you are bringing home a
puppy, make sure the food you select is age appropriate and will give
him all the vitamins he needs for a growing puppy body. You may want
to call your family veterinarian for advice on which food to use. For
an older dog, there is a little more flexibility, since their body has
done most of its growing. You may still want to check with your vet on
what would be best. This is especially important if you are taking on
a dog with medical issues....
