About This Site

The New Dog Love is a small site about the first year with a new dog. It covers the everyday basics a new owner reaches for in the first weeks: a wire crate, a no pull harness, a washable bed, a slow feeder bowl and a slicker brush. Every piece is written from one owner's own house and walks, says what worked for her dog and what did not, and points readers to their own vet for anything about health.

New Dog Safety

The articles on this site describe one owner's experience with one dog. They are not veterinary, training or behavioral advice. Every dog is different, and a product that suits one dog may not suit another. Ask your own veterinarian about diet, weight, eating speed, skin, coat and anxiety, and a certified trainer or behaviorist about serious pulling, reactivity or distress.

Crates: size the crate to your dog, remove collars and tags before crating so nothing can snag on the wire, never leave a dog crated for longer than its age and needs allow, and check doors, latches and the tray for gaps or sharp edges. A crate is never a punishment and never a substitute for exercise. Harnesses: fit every strap snugly enough that a dog cannot back out of it, check for rubbing under the legs, and never leave a harness on an unsupervised dog. Beds and toys: supervise a chewer, and take away a bed or toy once foam, stuffing or fabric pieces start coming loose, because swallowed pieces can cause a blockage. Feeding: a slow feeder bowl is not a treatment for any condition; call your vet promptly if your dog has a swollen belly, retches without bringing anything up, or seems restless after eating. Grooming: brush gently, keep slicker pins away from eyes and broken skin, and stop if your dog shows pain.
