If you’re a first-time dog owner, congratulations! Get ready to fall in love and to be loved, unconditionally. So now that you have a best friend, you’ll need a fitted collar or harness and a great, sturdy leash to ensure happy and safe walks. If you’re crate training your dog (usually just for puppies), you’ll need a crate—one that’s collapsible for storage and has a removable bottom for easy cleaning would be best. A comfortable bed is a necessity so your dog can have a designated place to sleep. For mealtimes, you’ll need two washable bowls—one for water and one for food—airtight containers to store the food, and treats, lots of training treats. Lastly, you’ll want toys, like dog puzzles, to keep your dog busy and mentally stimulated.
