Giving Your Pet a Place of their Own

Dogs benefit from having a place that is just theirs to snuggle up and snooze. Accessories such as dog beds give pooches a sense of security, promote good sleep and provide better support for the joints as your pet ages. When comparing dog beds, start by considering size and shape, looking for something that can comfortably accommodate your pet. Then, examine the materials, colors and care instructions to narrow down the options.

Enjoying Walks and Outings Together

Heading outside for walks allows both you and your dog to get some exercise. To make sure that your outings are safe for your pooch, always connect a leash to their collar before you leave your home. Leashes are available in a variety of materials and many different styles. Elastic and retractable leashes give your pet a little leeway to explore, while nylon and leather leashes are strong and are able to help keep mischievous pooches under better control. The bigger your dog is, the wider and longer your leash will need to be. Some leashes can be adjusted for length to suit your pet's specific requirements.

Making Paper Training Easier

Housetraining a puppy is a challenge, but with the right waste bags and training pads, you can make the process a little less stressful for both you and your puppy. Puppy pads make cleaning up after accidents easier. Also called training pads, these disposable, absorbent sheets capture liquid and solid waste to protect your floor. The Walgreens PetShoppe range has pads in a variety of sizes and absorbency levels. Keep in mind that training pads aren't just for puppies. Older dogs that suffer from incontinence and dogs with other types of issues can benefit from them as well.

Protecting and Grooming Your Pet

The right pet supplies help your pet look and feel their best. Dog shampoo can give your dog's coat a deep cleaning, while bath wipes allow you to quickly wipe off muddy paws and other dirty spots. Clippers make it possible to perform grooming and nail clipping tasks at home, and brushes are available to assist in removing tangles and smoothing your pet's coat. Medicated sprays, liquid treatments and collars reduce your pet's risk of getting fleas or ticks. You can also find a number of care and wellness products for your dog. Ask your veterinarian for help with choosing the best product for your dog.

Providing your Pet with the Proper Diet

Your furry friend requires a diet that meets their nutritional demands, and if you asked them, they’d likely say they require it to be tasty as well. When it comes to dog food products, you can choose from a wide range of wet and dry options that offer a variety of flavors, ingredients and nutritional mixes. Many dog foods contain a combination of meat, grains, vegetables and fruits. It’s important to note that different dogs have different needs. Puppies don’t have the same nutritional requirements as adult dogs, and large breeds often don’t demand the same diet as small breeds. It’s important to ask your veterinarian about the dietary balance that’s right for your pooch.

Special Treats for Your Fur Baby

Positive reinforcement helps lead to training success. Rewarding your dog with treats and special toys helps encourage good behavior and compliance with commands. When selecting treats, focus on products that are in line with your dog's dietary needs. Toys include everything from plushies to squeakers with fun options for small, medium-sized and large pooches.
