re a lot of things to be considered. Such as, can you afford the costs of looking after the dog? For example the vet’s bills, food, and also the equipment your puppy requires. Just like children, puppies grow larger and need a lot of attention, time and money. In this day and age the family dog is not just seen as a pet but one of the family, so here are some of the things you should consider before rushing out to buy your puppy. Accommodation/Housing/Equipment Before you get a puppy you must make sure that everywhere around the home is hazard free. Check your garden making sure its well fenced in as it can be quite surprising how small a gap a puppy can get through. When indoors remember everyday items which may appeal to the puppy such as electric and telephone wires as puppies are likely to chew and they don’t really mind what they chew. Buying the puppy its own toys to play with teaches it that certain things like furniture and wires are not there to be chewed but his toys are. Next there is finding a place for your border terrier to sleep, this may not sound like much of problem but, is very important to your dog as it will need somewhere where it feels safe and secure, that is warm and dry and also draught free. The kitchen or utility room are a good place to start as more often than not these floors will possibly be tiled and washable, which makes it easier to clean up any mistakes your border terrier may have. Let’s think about equipment you will need for your puppy. Starting with bedding, and there is a lot to choose from out there. The best choice would be the large plastic beds as these can be chewed without causing much damage to the bed or you puppy. With a soft pad or fleece blanket placed inside the bed for comfort, which can be easily washed in the washing machine. Feeding bowls again there are a wide choice to select from but, the heavy stone bowls are a good choice because they can not be chewed and the puppy does not have to chase the bowl around the kitchen while trying to eat. But do make sure that the bowls are small rimmed so your puppy finds it easy to end and drink out of. Again plastic bowls can be chewed and eaten possibly causing health problems so best to steer clear of them. Your can get the stainless steel bowls but again you will find your boarder terrier has a lot of strength in its jaw and will leave these bowls with some strange indented patterns. Toys Boarders can be quite destructive with toys, especially they squeaky ones. Solid rubber balls are reasonably long-lived and most borders like to fetch balls. For chewing you could provide the deep fried knuckle bones as the last along time and do not smell. These are very good for your puppy when they are changing there teeth as they encourage the new adult teeth to come through.
