Some Essentials For A New Dog



Before bringing your new dog home, you must do these essential steps to be ready for its arrival.


Toys suitable for dogs

The well-being of your dog can improve with toys. Dogs utilise toys to play and amuse themselves, much like other pets. When stressed or anxious, your furry friends can also resort to toys for comfort. You cannot just offer your pet any normal chew bone, though. Make sure the toys you select are appropriate for the kind of dog that you have. A toy that is too tiny or has tiny detachable pieces might be accidentally ingested by your pets and can cause choking.


Collar and leash

Get a collar with a leash (or a harness) if you plan to take your pet for a walk or let it run freely outdoors. Attaching a collar and leash to your dog is the safest approach to keep it contained while still getting used to the neighbourhood or stimulation outdoors.


When measuring your dog for a collar, you must ensure that you can easily insert two fingers fittingly between the collar and your dog's neck. A loosely placed collar is not advisable as it could slip off. If the collar is tightly placed, it could choke your dog.


Pet tag

Put a tag on your pet's collar, even if it has a microchip. If your dog is to become lost, it would be the simplest and quickest way for someone to contact you, especially if you're adding a new dog to the household. You may want to feel secure if your dog feels agitated and attempts to escape.


Take a proactive approach to your pet’s health with regular health and wellness checks at your animal hospital Louisville, KY.
