Items Needed for a Puppy

Are You Ready for the Big Committment?

Before purchasing a puppy, one needs to consider the expenses, committment, benefits, and the responsibilities of bringing home a family addition. Purchasing a puppy is not one to be taken lightly. When you start considering a new puppy, you could expect to pay a larger amount of money for the start up of owning one. You will have vaccines, like Distemper Parvo, Bordatella and Rabies boosters and well-puppy visit expenses, along with all the requirements of food cost, and the items listed below. If you already own one dog, then you probably already have an idea of the commitment level and expenses associated with a new dog. An estimate of the items listed below are around $500.00, not to mention the vet fees. Please remember a puppy is a living being, not just another order by mail piece of property. It will need love, time, commitment, training and understanding during the training phases. If you are not able to afford the items needed for a puppy, it would be best that you not purchase one until you have the means to support and care for one. Not only is there a cost financially, there is a time committement. A new addition will need time of adjustment to get used to your established routine and his surroundings. When considering to bring home a dog, you must remember, it will be a "life changing decision", just as a new baby brought home from the hospital. It will make you have to re-adjust your thinking, planning and timing of events. If you say to yourself, "I don't want to have to change my life," well then you better not purchase a dog.
You probably want a CAT or better yet,

a stuffed animal.
