Congratulations!

Getting a dog is one of the best decisions I’ve made. Here are my suggestions

• A basic obedience class

• Spending as much time with them as you possibly can

• A dedicated google photo album that you then send to all your family and friends

• A dog walking playlist

• Earth Rated dog poop bags (a wirecutter pick)

• A fabric poop bag holder. The plastic one scared my dog.

• Foggy Dog maritime rope leash

• Ruffwear high and light harness

• Dog bed shopping at TJMAXX/HomeGoods/Marshall’s

  great selection and great return policy

• Ditto for dog toys (I like bark box) and dental chews (whimzees)

• If your dog needs a fun collar, try Foggy Dog, Zaley Designs, or Tags for Hope

• Treats: polka dog wonder nuggets, woof pupsicles, Milo’s kitchen & Zukes

• Getting them their own holiday accessories— stocking, Easter egg hunt, etc

• Bake them pupcakes on their birthday

• Enjoy getting to know your new best friend!
