Be ready for your newcomer. Certainly the essentials (food and
a dish) are a must. Getting the right equipment will make the job of socializing
your new pet easier. And most of these supplies can be readily available at
your local pet emporium.
If you schedule enough time in your preparations, consider getting some supplies
from a catalog house. PetEdge, Omaha Vaccine Company, and KV Vet Supply are
three companies you can order from at considerable savings. The crate, ceramic
or metal dishes, snack food, and toys can be ordered in advance. Get your
grooming tools as well, as most pet store have limited supply and usually
only inferior grooming products. Remember: you have a dog that has hair and
will require some attention.
