I can’t think of a better way to really claim your new pet. It is vital that you invest in some tags with your name and number on it, just in case your friend gets loose. What is really neat is that you can completely customize your tags to fit your friend’s personality. The tags can connect with the collar and help fido feel the connection to its new found owner.

Beds

Buying a dog bed is truly giving your new pet their own space. Humans aren’t the only ones that like to have their own place to sleep! The cool thing about getting a bed is that you can get one based on your pet’s personality. Dog beds come as “couches,” “crocs,” and a bunch of creative colors and shapes. You can find a dog bed at any major realtor or online!

Shampoo

No one likes to be smelly, and this includes your pupper. You may not need right this right away but you never know when it could be handy. Here are the top rated dog shampoos and conditioners.

Flea Care and Prevention

In the same category of dog treatments is flea care and prevention. Fleas can be a serious hassle and annoyance. Products like Frontline can be applied to your dog every month or once a year. There are also flea-killing shampoos as well. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

Food and Water Bowl

For example, there are non-skid, automatic and other types of bowls that will allow you to pre-portion your dog’s meals!

These tips will definitely help the transition of you and your new friend. After all, you are going to develop a new connection and form wonderful memories that’ll last a lifetime.
