Adding a puppy to your family always brings more responsibility – among other things, you need to figure out what to buy when the puppy moves in. To help you get started, we have made a list of 7 things you need to buy when the puppy moves in.
1 Collar, harness & leash
When a puppy moves in, it will of course need to go for walks and experience the big world with you. That's why it's important that you get a collar, harness and leash for walks. Remember not to take your puppy on long walks.
2 Dog signs
It is mandatory by law that the dog wears a dog tag from the age of 4 months in public. However, it is a good idea to get one right away. The dog tag must include the owner's name and address. A telephone number is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended.
3 Dog basket
When your puppy moves in, it's a really good idea to get a dog basket and teach your puppy that it's a nice place to relax. Sprinkle some treats in the basket when your puppy is away from it, so there's a surprise for your puppy the next time he goes to the basket.
You can buy a crate for the puppy and put the basket in it. It is an advantage to teach the dog that the crate is a nice place to be, and most dogs will love their little “den”.
4 Fart bags
It's important to pick up dog poop - both so others don't step on it, and to avoid spreading infection. So always remember to have a good supply of fart bags with you on your walk.
5 Toys
Finally, buy some toys for the puppy when it moves in. First and foremost, it is important to have an alternative for the puppy to bite when it wants to bite us, our shoes and anything else it can get its hands on. BUT toys can also help strengthen your own relationship with the puppy. They love to play with us, so why not take advantage of that and create a good relationship from the start?
6 Food and Water Bowls
Your puppy needs to be fed and watered. You will therefore need to purchase a food and water bowl for your puppy. Remember that fresh drinking water should always be available.
7 Treats
When you get a puppy, you will most likely need to start puppy training. Therefore, buy a selection of delicious treats for your puppy's daily training. Make sure the treats are small and soft so that the puppy can eat them quickly and easily.
It should be said that it is also a good idea to get a brush for fur care and a nail clipper or nail file.
Thank you so much for reading and good luck with the addition to your family.
