After several family discussions, the decision is made to welcome a puppy into the home. That means making some preparations before the new addition arrives. With the right Pet supplies in Folsom CA on hand, things will be off to a good start. Here are some examples of what to put on the list.
Bedding
The list for pet supplies in Folsom CA should start with bedding for the puppy. Choose something that is comfortable and can be placed in an area that allows the puppy to be near the family. The pet will be more likely to lay claim to the bed if it makes it easy for the humans to reach down and pet the puppy while they watch television.
Toys
Even though everyone is ready to shower attention on the puppy, it pays to have some toys on hand. Some of those toys should be things that will amuse the pet when the humans are at school and work. Items that can be chewed safely roll when pushed and, in general, provide distractions for the pet will translate into less damage to the furniture.
Food
What type of food is right for a puppy? Get some ideas from a vet and then head to the store for something that has the right type of nutrients. While at the store, find some treats that are suitable for a puppy. Those will come in handy while training the puppy to obey commands and how to go about letting the humans know it’s time to go outside.
Hygiene Products
At some point, the puppy will need a bath. Choose products that will keep the coat clean but not cause the skin to dry out or become irritated. A brush that can be used to keep the coat smooth is also a good idea. With the right products, the puppy will learn to love baths and enjoy the attention that comes along with brushing the coat.
With the list in hand, head over to Lees Feed & Western Store today. It will not take long to find everything needed to make the new puppy comfortable in the home. Remember that, as the puppy matures, there will also be plenty of food and supplies that are appropriate for an older dog.
