Nowadays, more and more people in cities are keeping pets. Seeing those neighbors in the community interacting closely with their dogs, some people who have never kept pets before can’t help but want to raise one themselves. So, are pet dogs easy to raise now? What do you need to prepare for raising a dog for the first time? Below we will briefly introduce these to everyone.

A dog’s little nest 

For these adorable pets, they also hope to have a warm place to live, where they can rest when tired. When the owner goes to sleep at night, they can peacefully sleep in their own little nest. Every puppy needs this. Therefore, if you are a first-time dog owner, it is recommended that you prepare a little nest of suitable size according to the dog’s body size. After having a little nest, bringing the puppy home will surely make it like you even more.

Dog food and bowls 

What do you need to prepare for raising a dog for the first time? Are dogs easy to raise?

Dogs need to eat. Although dogs will happily accept rice and other food that owners eat, for the sake of the dog’s health, we recommend that everyone still prepare some dog food to ensure their nutritional needs are met. Other foods can be given as snacks. In addition, to ensure hygiene in diet, it is recommended to prepare a dedicated food bowl and water bowl for the dog, and clean them regularly. Don’t let the dog get into the habit of picking up food randomly from the ground, to avoid diseases spreading through the mouth.

A dog leash is also very necessary 

No matter how gentle and quiet a dog is, it is curious about the outside world and hopes its owner can take it out for a walk from time to time. Since there are many cars and people in the city, to ensure the dog’s safety, we recommend preparing a dog leash. When there are few people, the dog can play freely, but when there are many people, don’t forget to leash the dog. This way, you can avoid the dog running around and getting hit by a car or lost, and also avoid scaring other neighbors. After all, even if your dog is gentle, people who do not keep pets might still be afraid. A leash protects the dog and others, and is very necessary.
