You need some basic supplies to keep your dog comfortable, healthy, and secure. While preparing to bring home a pooch, it’s vital that you familiarize yourself with these basic needs and prepare a pet essentials list accordingly. As your puppy grows, you must keep revisiting and revising this list to suit their changing needs. Some of the items that must feature in every pet essentials list include,
• Feeding essentials such as food and water bowl, a travel-friendly set of bowls, pet food (or ingredients to prepare food for your dog if you lean in favor of homemade meals), treats
• Dog walking essentials such as a collar, a leash, a harness, a shorter leash for walk training, and a long 50-ft leash for play
• New dog essentials such as pee pads, a crate, a dog bed, and cleaning solutions to prevent odor from seeping in, in case of accidents, to prevent further accidents. You also need a poop scooper and bags for disposing of the waste
• Dog first aid kit essentials such as gauze, cotton balls, vet-approved disinfectants, and ointments to handle any minor injuries as well as natural tick and flea medication free of any toxins or harmful chemicals
