Dog Supplies

Ah, but if you think of your dog as a true member of the family, then you will likely want to give your pet a lot of cool things. I sometimes think that these "cool" things are marketed more for the owner than for the dog. Dogs are very basic at birth, but they can learn very fast the comforts of life and become spoiled little creatures. As long as you're okay with that, then by all means spoil them!

Let's start with supplies that are essential to your precious pet. Basic supplies that aid in survival.

• Feed Dishes - one for food and one for water. These can be as basic as a couple of bowls from your cabinet or a fancy set that has been made especially for your dog.
• Heartworm Prevention - this is medication that your dog takes once a month and is prescribed by a veterinarian.
• Flea / Tick Control - This can be in the form of a "flea collar" or a topical application that is used to kill fleas and ticks and prevents re-infestation.

These supplies aren't necessarily needed for survival, but are nice things to have.

• Dog Clothes
• Dog House
• Dog Crates
