Talking About Pet Care Supplies

There may come a time in your life where you can no longer ignore the urge to adopt a furry new family member. Whether it's the "Puppies for Sale" sign gleaming out at you from the pet store window or the fact that no one can resist the smell of puppy breath, becoming a dog owner is one urge you should act on. While there is plenty of information available online about the basics of raising a puppy, it is a good idea to think outside the box when it comes to supply shopping for your new puppy. Make your life easier with these three important puppy care accessories:

Grooming Supplies

From potty training to playing outside in the dirt and mud, your new addition to the family is bound to kick up some dust and get pretty filthy from time to time. Regular grooming is not only good for your puppy's health, but it can help to create a closer bond between the two of you. Dogs also greatly benefit from an established routine, so be sure to make grooming time a regular part of your day. Before you bring your furry friend home, be sure to invest in a high-quality dog shampoo, nail trimmers, a toothbrush, and a coat brush.

Identification

Proper collar identification tags are important for all pets, whether they will spend the majority of their time inside or outside the home. While this is a recommended method of identification for your pet, it's a good idea to explore additional identification options to better protect your new puppy in case it is lost or stolen. In addition to investing in a traditional pet ID tag, many veterinarians and other animal experts recommend microchipping your puppy. Although they are not GPS capable, each microchip has a unique number that can help health professionals identify your pet if their collar tag is lost or damaged.

Seat Belt

Because animals have a tendency to move around in the car while traveling it can be hard to know what type of injuries they may sustain in the event of an accident. If you ever plan on traveling with your puppy, it's a good idea to train them to wear a pet seat belt while in the car. Luckily, there are a number of different styles available to choose from on the market today, including 3-point safety harnesses, booster seats, and crate-style car seats.
