SOME HELPFUL ACCESSORIES FOR DOGS AND DOG OWNERS

Having a dog is one of the best things in the whole world. No matter what kind of day you’ve had, your dog will always greet you at the door with a wagging tail. But, as a dog owner, you have responsibilities to keep your dog happy and healthy with great food, long walks, and plenty of scratches.

Caring for a dog is similar to caring for small children and it must not be taken lightly. You should make sure that you have the following dog accessories before becoming a proud owner of a dog.

Whether you have just made a new dog part of the family, or you are getting to spend some more quality time at home with your dog, now is a good time to invest in some new dog accessories. From dog beds that will go with your decor, to aesthetically pleasing food and water bowls, to pretty leashes for all the walks you'll inevitably take together, here at Dogfather are the best dog accessories to buy now.

Deshedding tool– If your dog leaves clumps of hair throughout the house, a de-shedding tool will change your life. With a firm, stainless steel edge, the efficient tool is able to penetrate the topcoat and gently but thoroughly remove loose hair. It's easy to use just comb through the hair to grab your dog's fur and then release them away.

Leash– It is an important piece of training and safety equipment for your new dog. When taking a dog out of the house, a leash ensures that he will not accidentally run away.

Food and Water Bowls– Bowls made from ceramic materials and stainless steel are very popular because your dog can’t chew them. Make sure that the bowls should be of appropriate size because bowls that are too large will make it difficult for the dog to reach all the food.

Dog Food– You should make sure to purchase a highly nutritious food that your dog likes and keep your dog on the same diet to avoid issues with the upset stomachs or other problems. Make sure to purchase branded  food and stick to the same brand throughout the dog’s developmental stages.

Chain Collars– These dog chain collars are intended for training purposes only. When training a dog to walk on leash and heel, corrections are made with a quick tug on the leash, causing it to close somewhat on the dog’s neck. Over time, many dog trainers have moved away from the choke chain method.

Generally, these collars are not recommended because they could damage your dog's neck. If you do choose to get a choke chain for your dog, learn how to use it properly. Chain slip collars should be used with caution and never be left on your dog when unattended, as they pose a strangulation hazard.

Dog Pee Pads- The pee pads are quite essential in keeping the dog’s area and the owner’s home clean. These pads are more effective in containing and absorbing moisture than traditional towels.

Treats– These are useful tools for training your dog. Dogs are always eager to receive treats for their good behavior and for performing things that make their owner happy.

Chew Toys– Chew toys are a necessity for your dog, as dogs love to chew on things and they tend to chew on anything that helps them in relieving the itching caused by the teething.

Grooming Supplies– Your dog will need to be groomed and for grooming you need grooming tools like low dryer, bristle brush, comb, conditioning spray, cotton balls, ear cleaning solution, nail clippers, scissors, shampoo etc.

Stain Removers and Deodorizers– Because your dog can have accidents as he becomes house-trained, it's a good idea to pick up some stain removers and enzymatic deodorizers. If the area is not completely cleaned, your dog will continue to smell his personal scent, and keep returning to the area to do it again. If a 'wet' accident has just happened, clean effectively and remove the odour by applying a deodorizer.
