I’m getting my first dog soon after 7 years of training on the side and 9 of fostering/volunteering at shelters.
Here is my list of supplies for before I get the dog.
I should point out the lack of washing supplies is due to the fact we are rescuing an oodle mix of some kind so will regularly professionally groom once I’ve essentially them to the sensations, paw touching, dryer etc. There is a dog shop within talking distance so if we really need to home bathe I can get supplies in under half an hour.
It gets very hot where I live which is why I’ve included the boots.
My list:
Bed
Water and food bowl (metal)
Walking collar
Regular collar with tags
Long leash
Regular leash
Poo bag+holder
Toys (fetch, hard, soft, enriching etc)
Crate
Pee pads
High value treats
Good food both wet and dry
Food toppers tbd
Water bottle with attached bowl
Boots
Slicker brush
