New Pet Parents Guide -- Dog
buy things really need
# New Pet Owner Guide | Dogs 🐶
**Introduction:** Getting a pet should not be an impulsive decision - you're responsible for their entire life, so make sure to think it through carefully and avoid making hasty decisions!
[Puppy Section Direct Link >>](#2)
**Essential Daily Items:**
[Dog Bed 🛏️](#3): When your puppy first arrives, you need to have a bed ready for them. You wouldn't want them sleeping on the floor their first day.

[CHARLOTTE](Charlotte): Rolex got a new bed for his second birthday a few days ago. His old bed was worn out and still looked dirty even after washing 😅 This small bed is from Chewy and arrived quickly. It's a luxurious, comfortable large bed for Rolex 😁 Since dogs are den animals, they really like to... [Buy >>](#32)
[Water & Food Bowls](#34): These need no explanation, haha.
[Training Pee Pads](#35): Young puppies need training to learn when and where to go potty. To avoid accidents, pee pads are absolutely necessary.
[Leash & Harness](#36) & [Poop Bags](#37): Walking your dog serves multiple purposes beyond just exercise and bathroom breaks - it's essential for socializing your dog so they don't bite or lunge at strangers.
[Toys (2-3)](#38): Puppies definitely need toys - no explanation needed.
[Bathing Supplies](#39): If conditions allow, bathing your dog at home can be fun but tiring. [Shampoo](#40), [Brushes & Combs](#41), [Styling Products & Dryers](#42), and [Nail Clippers](#43) are all necessities. For those who want to pamper their pets, you can also purchase [Conditioner](#44), tail degreasers, [Paw Cleansing Foam & Paw Pad Protection Balm](#45), etc.

[Liya Julia](Julia): Today I'm recommending this great 2-in-1 dog shampoo and conditioner! I've just finished this bottle. It doesn't have a strong scent after washing, so it won't affect your dog's sense of smell. It lathers easily and doesn't leave that fake slippery feeling like some products do when they're not rinsed properly. I can say it works really well! [Buy >>](#74)
**Essential Food Items:**
[Puppy Food](#76): Puppy food generally contains higher protein levels than adult dog food to provide more comprehensive nutrition for growth and development. It's recommended to feed puppy food until they're 1 year old.

[Ginintama](Ginintama): Dogs' digestive systems are different from humans. ☝🏼 They can't eat everything, and ✌🏼 you need a transition period when switching to new food, otherwise they may get diarrhea 👀. Puppies start eating dog food while still at the breeder's. So when you bring your 8-week-old puppy home, the breeder will usually give you... [Buy >>](#105)

[uuuuuiiiii](uuuuuiiiii): ✨Real dog food - Orijen. Although my little Tangyuan loves eating everything, I still buy him better quality dog food. The ingredients list salmon, beef, and all kinds of good stuff - even better than what I eat! It smells delicious as soon as you open it 🐖🐖🐖 [Buy >>](#135)
[Training Treats](#137): When puppies first come home, they might get into trouble because they don't understand the "rules." Essential training is needed, such as teaching them to use the bathroom in designated areas, not to guard food, and not to climb on tables. Training treats can help them master these skills more quickly.

回复 @dontbuydiss : 我觉着可以去chewy上买点狗狗的玩具或者狗狗床一类的，如果对他家狗子很熟悉了解平时吃什么牌子狗粮零食也可以买点，或者干脆等有礼卡打折的时候买100刀的礼卡，这样你朋友想给它买什么就买什么![[比心]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_bixin@2x.png?v=1)

: I've only been a dog owner for half a year, and my Niu Niu is eight months old now. Sometimes it's really exhausting, but the joy is genuine too! Once, someone asked about my dog. My two-year-old daughter brought out her toy dog, and the person said, "Not that one, the other one (pointing at Niu Niu)." My daughter replied with utmost seriousness, "That's not a dog, that's Niu Niu!"![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)

回复 @dontbuydiss : I think you could check out Chewy for some dog toys or a dog bed. If you’re familiar with what brand of dog food or treats their dog likes, you could get those too. Or simply wait for a gift card sale and buy a $100 gift card—then your friend can pick out whatever they want for their pup.![[比心]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_bixin@2x.png?v=1)
