Dog Supplies

What supplies do you need when getting a Second dog?

My family is looking at getting a second dog. we already have the supplies for one dog but is there anting extra needed for two dogs?

For two dogs you’ll need:

2 crates
2 leads/leashes
2 collars and/or harnesses
2 identity tags (two of each you get…)
4 bowls for food and water (Even if you free feed, you can’t expect your dog to be happy about another dog sharing his bowl)

You’ll then need chew bones, toys, etc. But, seeing as you already have a dog, you shouldn’t need to buy any goodies for them for another few months.

There’s also the matter of food. If the breeds you have/are getting are completely different, you’ll need a different brand of food. If they’re different ages, you’ll possibly need a puppy or junior chow.

A second dog bed would come in handy, as the dogs may not take to each other right away.

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER — Sightings of football players, baseball players, chick magnets and punk rockers were typical. Some dressed to the nines in formal attire — tuxedos for the guys, crinoline and ruffles for the ladies.
