Quarantine Pet Essentials

Self Cleaning Brush, $15.99

Getting into the warmer months, pets are going to be shedding a lot more. So brushing becomes even more important! This brush makes it easy to get all that hair out of the bristles. Press one button and you’re done!

 

Bitter Apple Taste Deterrent, $12.98

Puppies like to chew. So to help them break the habit, you’ll want to invest in some Bitter Apple. Just spray it on their favorite chewing spot and let it do the rest! Dogs don’t like the taste, so they’ll leave the corner of your favorite rug alone.

 

Pet Training Clicker, $6.99

Training is an important part of dog ownership, and a clicker is a great way to do it. Say you are working on sit. Say the command, show them how to do it, and click! Then quickly give them a treat. They will associate the sound of the clicker and the reward with the behavior.

This book is a must-read for first time dog owners. Everything you need to know about training your pup is in these pages. By the end, your dog will be the best trained on the block!

 

Bark Box, $22

Bark Box is a fun subscription service for your dog! Each month you get a few toys and some new treats. If you have a big dog, they will probably go through their toys pretty quick, so this is a great way to replenish them. If you have a small dog, you can stock up on some good quality toys.

 

Dog Dental Care, $3.57

Brushing a dog’s teeth is a task, to be sure. But the alternative is spending upwards of $1000 for the vet to do it. Start early and your dog will get used to it, and it won’t be too much of a hassle!
