Items Needed When Owning a Dog

Do you want your dog to be happy? Here are a few essentials you will need to pamper and take care of your furry friend. It will surely make them happy.

You must have the bath essentials which include good smelling dog shampoo,(from pets mart) brush, (brush dogs hair before wetting her and washing her because combing its hair before a bath gets out the dogs loose hair)Big sponge, towel (to dry your dog after a bath) dog conditioner, (from pets mart) nail clippers, filer (to trim their nails) and shaver. (optional)

Dogs also need toys to play with to keep themselves busy sometimes, just like kids need toys. First you may need a toy box to keeps all of your dogs toys in. (you can make a box using the directions on my article, pet crafts) Next, get a tug a war. Dogs love playing this game with their owners. Dogs also love to play fetch so you will want to get her a tennis ball, frisbee, and a small toy they can fetch. lastly, dogs need a chew toy to chew on so buy a squeaky toy it can chew on and a sock to chew on. You may also want to buy her a big bone (depending on size of dog) to chew on. Put all of those items in her toy box.

Dogs also need treats. Do you want to train your dog? If you want to your going to need some treats. Probably the best kind of dog treat is milk bones. You may also want to buy a bacon or peanut butter flavored treat, a dogs best friend. Any time a dogs does a trick you command it to do you; give her a treat. Also let her know she did a good job by softly patting her on the head and telling her she is a good dog in a soft soothing voice. It will make them excited for accomplishing a trick.

Dogs also need food, water, a leash, a collar, and a shock collar. You should feel your dogs bowl with water right when you wake up in the morning. (cold fresh water) Continue to feel water bowl when you see that it is empty. You should also feel your dogs food bowl with dog food (ask pets vet about which dog food would be good for your dog) right when you get up in the morning. Also feel the food bowl around lunch time and dinner time. To take your dog on a walk you need a collar and a leash. You should put your dogs name and your phone number and address on your dogs collar encase she run away. When your dog is playing outside in the backyard put a shock collar on her if she begins barking allot.

Every dog most definitely needs this, love. If you have a dog you need to be nice to her and love her. People need to know that many dogs in the united states are beaten and neglected each day. We need to stand up and help dogs. You can help by loving your dog and even donating money to dog shelters. Love!

Dogs also need exercise to stay physically fit. You should take your dog on a walk at least twice a week and you should play with it for at least thirty minutes each day.

I hope this information was helpful. Good luck with your dog dog owners. You are on your way to becoming a better owner. Good luck!
