Puppy Dog Collars and Other Essential Puppy Stuff

 Dog collars are one of the first pet supplies you’ll want to be sure to purchase when you’re planning for the arrival of a new puppy. A new addition to your family is an exciting time. 

You can find a lot of great pet supplies or dog supplies online. Not only are there some great dog collars and dog tags available that will look adorable on your new fur baby but dog collars are an essential dog training tool, too.

You can buy dog collars, dog harnesses, dog muzzles, and even dog backpacks to strap onto your pet for training, correction, and safety.

Some collars are a part of a harness and are designed to make it difficult for your pet to pull you. Some collars go over the pets mouth and attach to a muzzle. Some collars are choke chains, designed to put a stop to pulling because you attach the leash through a loop that will pull tight if your puppy tries to get too far ahead.  And some collars operate genetically with a ring for a tag and leash but look great due to specific designs or personalising.

What else do you need for your puppy?

In terms of pet supplies, here are a few ideas beyond the dog collar:

• A leash. There are a lot of leash options on the market and your pet supplies provider may have a few options for you including nylon or leather leashes or perhaps a jewelled leash. Some leashes are equipped with a hold-all pocket that you can fit items into, such as bags for then you stoop to scoop and other places for your keys, change, or a snack. You’ll even find special leashes designed for use when you want to ride a bike and leash your dog to trot along side you.
• Dishes. Puppy dishes for food and water are nice. You can use any dish but these sorts of dishes are less likely for your pup to knock over.
• Food. You’ll want to choose the right puppy food and you’ll want to buy some treats as well so you can pamper your pup and use them as a great training aid.
• Grooming supplies.  Grooming supplies are important. Start as you mean to go on with good grooming habits for your pup and you’ll minimise pet hair, sharp nails, and get him or her adjusted to grooming so that it won’t be a big ordeal.
• Extras. You should consider shopping for a vet, considering pet insurance, and you might even want some fun extras such as doggie clothing, a carrying case for car rides, and a doggie bed (although chances are that your new puppy will prefer sleeping with you --- if you allow it!

Enjoy your new puppy!
