What do puppies buy at home? Husky novice shoveling officer's first wave of stock list

Congratulations on welcoming a "potential stock demolition"-a husky puppy! While you are excited, are you also confused about "what should you prepare"? Don't worry, a detailed hoarding list is the first step to successful pet maintenance. For a husky baby who is full of energy and curiosity, preparing necessities in advance will not only allow you to cope with it calmly, but also provide it with a safe and comfortable environment to grow up and avoid many "blood and tears lessons". This article will sort out all necessary items for you, from diet, housing, cleaning, training, etc., to help you become a qualified reserve "poop officer."

1. Diet: Eating well is the foundation of health

Puppies are in a period of rapid growth and development and have extremely high needs for nutrition. Choosing the right product is related to its health throughout its life.

1. Main food: dog food for puppies

Core choice: Besure to choose "puppy food" or "full-term food" and ensure the high quality of the formula. As a medium-sized dog, Huskies need high protein, moderate fat and sufficient calcium and phosphorus to support bone and muscle development during their puppies. It is recommended to choose dog food that is clearly marked as "suitable for medium dogs and puppies".

Brands and ingredients:Give priority to professional brands with good reputation. Looking at the ingredient list, meats (such as chicken, beef, fish) should be ranked first and avoid containing too much grains (such as corn, wheat) and meat meal of unknown origin. You can choose a small package for the first time to observe the dog's palatability and bowel movements.

Transition period:If the puppy has fixed food in the original family, it should ask for some first and gradually mix the new food for 7-10 days to replace it to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort caused by sudden food change.

2. Tableware: Stability and hygiene are the key

There are two dog bowls:one for holding dog food and one for holding clean water. It is recommended to choose stainless steel or ceramic material with a thick, non-slip base that is not easy to be knocked over and easy to clean. Plastic bowls are easy to scratch and breed bacteria, so it is not recommended.

Slow Food Bowl:Huskies usually eat quickly, and gorging down can cause vomiting and flatulence. A slow food bowl with a raised design can effectively slow down eating and promote digestion.

Hanging kettles/water bowls:For dogs in cages, hanging kettles keep drinking water clean and avoid being trampled or stained by feet. You can also prepare an additional water bowl to place in the activity area.

3. Nutritional supplements: Add them on demand, don't blindly

Goat milk powder:For pups that have just been weaned or have weak physique, brewing pet-specific goat milk powder with warm water is an excellent nutritional supplement and can also increase drinking water consumption.

Calcium tablets/nutritional cream:Be sure to consult your veterinarian if additional calcium supplements are needed. Excessive calcium supplementation is harmful. Nutritional cream can be used as an emergency supplement during training, illness and loss of appetite.

Probiotics:Prepare some pet probiotic powder to help regulate the intestines and stomach and establish a healthy flora during the early stages of the puppy's arrival at home, during food change or when soft stools appear.

2. Living: Give it a safe home

Huskies are "escape masters" and "home demolitions masters". A strong and suitable living space is crucial.

1. Dog cages/fences: safe houses and training tools

Necessity:Caged breeding is not a confinement, but provides the dog with an exclusive and safe resting space. At the same time, it can effectively prevent it from being eaten by mistake, electrocuted, and... demolishing the home when you are not at home.

size selection: Thecage needs to be large enough for an adult husky to easily stand, turn and lie down inside. It is recommended to purchase cages of large dog size (approximately 110cm in length) directly. The cage can be divided into a resting area and a drainage area.

Type recommendations:Air box (more suitable for traveling and creating cave security) or metal square tube cages (more ventilated and strong). Be sure to choose a product with a tray at the bottom, thick material and firm locks.

Fence:It can be used as a supplement to cage farming to enclose a safe activity area indoors and give more activity space.

2. Dog house: comfortable rest stop

Material:Choose a doghouse with removable and washable inner pads. Considering the biting nature of husky, you can initially prepare a cheap, biting mat or old towel so that you won't feel distressed even if you are bitten. Wait until it has passed the grinding period and replace it with something more comfortable.

Location:Place the kennel in a cage or in a quiet, draughtless corner of the home.

3. Urine pads and dog toilets: great helpers for toilet training

Urine pads:Hoard a lot of goods! Puppy has weak bladder control and frequent defecation. Choose a urine pad with good water absorption, inducers (optional), and leak-proof back. The size is recommended to be medium or large.

Dog toilet:For parents who plan to train him to use the toilet in a fixed location for a long time, they can purchase a dog toilet with a grid. Place the urine pad under the grid to keep your feet feeling clean. The size should also be large enough.

3. Travel and Safety: Safety comes first when you are away from home

Huskies are famous for "letting go", and their travel equipment must be strong and reliable.

1. Traction Rope: The Rope of Life

Type: It isrecommended to use a simple chest strap (H or Y, without strangling the neck) with a fixed length of traction rope (1.2-1.5 meters) during puppies. Never use retractable traction ropes! It is not conducive to training and accompanying, and it is extremely dangerous when the husky rush.

Material: Thetraction rope is made of nylon or leather, and the fasteners must be strong.

2. Collar and chest strap

Collar:Can be worn and used to hang dog tags. But adjust it to the right tightness (two fingers can be inserted). Puppies grow fast and need to be checked frequently to see if they are too tight.

Chest strap:Less pressure on the trachea and better control. Choose a style that is breathable and easy to adjust.

3. dog tags

Engrave the dog's name and your contact number. This is the most direct and effective way to recover after being lost.

4. Aviation case/vehicle-mounted seat belt

If you need to drive with a dog, you must use an aviation box to fix it in the back row or use a dedicated car seat belt to ensure driving safety.

4. Cleaning and Care: Make a clean and beautiful Erha

Develop nursing habits from an early age, make your dog healthier and you feel more relaxed.

1. Combs: Fight against "dandelion"-like hair loss

Combing:Combing daily, untying knots and removing floating hairs. Choose a needle with bead protection to avoid scratching the skin.

Bottom hair comb/hair removal comb:Husky has a double coat, and the hair loss during the muting season is amazing. This kind of comb can effectively comb off the heavy underlying waste wool. It is a must!

Opening knot comb:Handle the occasional knots.

2. bath products

Pet specific body wash:Human body wash has different pH values, which will damage the oil protective layer of dog skin. Choose a gentle body wash for dogs and use a milder style for puppies.

Absorbent towel/deerskin towel:Quickly absorb moisture after taking a bath and shorten the blowing time.

Hair dryer/pet blower:Husky hair is thick and must be thoroughly dried, otherwise they are prone to skin diseases. Household hair dryers may not have enough power and heat, but pet water blowers are a more efficient choice.

3. Daily cleaning supplies

Pet wipes:It is used to wipe the soles of the feet, around the eyes, buttocks, etc. It is very convenient.

Foot cleaning foam and brush:Deep clean the soles of your feet after rain or going home.

Toothbrushes and pet toothpaste:Develop the habit of brushing teeth from an early age to prevent calculus and oral diseases. Finger stall toothbrush or pet toothbrush can be used.

Nail clippers/nail polishers:Trim nails regularly to avoid being too long and affecting people when walking or scratching. Be careful not to cut the blood line.

Ear cleaner and cotton balls:Clean the ear canal regularly to prevent ear mites and inflammation.

5. Toys and teeth: Release energy and save furniture

This is the part of the list that can most "protect the country"!

1. Tearing toys: satisfying the nature of biting

Rubber toys:Brand toys such as Kong (which can be stuffed into food) and West Paw are made of safe and bite-resistant materials and can consume a lot of energy.

Antler/cow kneecaps:Natural molar bones, very wear-resistant, suitable for medium and large dogs, and can be chewed for a long time.

Note:Avoid buying toys that are too hard and may break teeth (such as hard nylon bones), as well as plastic and plush toys that are easily bitten and swallowed (you need to play under supervision).

2. interactive toy

Leaking ball/educational toy:Put dog food into it and let the dog get food by rolling and fiddling, which greatly consumes brain and physical strength and reduces destructive behaviors caused by boredom.

Pull toys: Forexample, rope toys can play a tug of war with you to enhance your relationship.

6. Training and Rewards: The beginning of establishing good behavior

Training from an early age will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

1. Training snacks

Prepare special training snacks with small grains and soft taste (such as small pieces of chicken jerky, cheese grains) to reward correct behavior. Pay attention to controlling the daily total amount to avoid affecting the meal.

2. Clicker (Clicker)

An effective tool for marking correct behaviors to make training more precise. Not required, but recommended for learning.

3. Pet urine stain remover

Puppies inevitably make mistakes. When it is excreted in the wrong place, it must be thoroughly cleaned with a special biological enzyme deodorant to eliminate residual pheromones in the urine and prevent it from being excreted in the same place again.

7. Health and Regular Medicines: Prevent problems before they occur

In vivo and in vivo anthelmintics:Regularly use anthelmintics according to veterinary advice and product instructions. Puppies usually need their first deworming after arriving home and stabilizing.

Elizabeth Loop:Wear it when your dog is injured, after surgery, or after medication has been applied for skin diseases to prevent licking. A soft one will be more comfortable.

Pet-specific disinfectant:used to regularly clean dog cages, kennels, toys and floors to prevent the breeding of bacteria.

Hemostatic powder:Stop bleeding urgently if you accidentally cut the blood line on your nail.

Pet thermometer:Master the method of measuring anal temperature so as to make a preliminary judgment when a dog is depressed.

Important note: It isbest to consult a veterinarian before using any medicine. If the dog is found to be unwell, send it to the doctor in time and do not take the medicine yourself.

8. Other considerate things

Storage box:Specially store all the dog's belongings to keep the home clean and orderly.

Camera:Observe the dog's condition at home at any time while at work, which is safe and fun.

Pet insurance:Consider purchasing a pet medical insurance for it to deal with possible accidents or diseases and reduce financial pressure.

Summary: Rationally hoard goods and happily raise pets

This list may seem long, but many items do not need to be purchased in one go. You can purchase in batches based on "urgent need","important" and "deferred". The core idea is to give priority to meeting thebasic survival needs of puppies (food, accommodation, transportation, and safety), and then gradually improve thequality of life and training needs.

Welcoming a husky puppy is like welcoming a vibrant new family member. Full preparation is the first love and responsibility you give it. When you see it sleeping peacefully in your new home and running happily around you, all the careful preparation will become extremely worthwhile. I wish you and your "Erha" baby a wonderful journey full of laughter (and a little helplessness)!

Final reminder: Before picking up your dog home, be sure to make sure you have contacted a reliable pet hospital and made an appointment for health checks, vaccines and chip implantation (if needed). Scientific breeding of pets starts from the first step.
