Win the Holidays This Year: Give the Gift of Puppy Love
There are very few gifts more exciting to receive than a fluffy bundle of love and devotion. When someone you know has been hinting that they would love a puppy for the holidays, there are a few things to consider, and some things you can do to make sure your gift is a complete one. Does your friend have a pet door? What about a crate? There’s more to giving a puppy than just securing said animal and presenting it to a friend or loved one. You want to make sure that the recipient and the puppy have the best start together possible.
Consider a Group Gift
When it comes to giving a puppy as a gift, you may want to make it a group project. Assign one of the following items to each person in order to present not just a puppy, but all the things that the puppy will need immediately.
- Puppy Food
- Dog Training Books or Obedience School Gift Certificate
- Crate
- Veterinarian Gift Certificate
- Chew Toys
- Treats
- Bedding
- Leash and Collar
- Grooming Supplies: Brush, Shampoo, Nail Clippers
Believe it or not, it can be rather expensive to raise a puppy, especially if the recipient doesn’t have any puppy supplies. The more you can provide, the more complete and appreciated your gift will be.
Finding a Puppy
It is important when visiting a rescue or shelter that you choose a puppy that your friend will be able to take care of properly. If the recipient has a large home and a fenced yard, then a larger dog may be more suitable. If the recipient lives in an apartment or has allergies, then a smaller or hypoallergenic breed will be a better choice. Luckily, there are all sorts of puppies at the shelter waiting for loving homes, so you will have a lot to choose from.
Many people want puppies, and many people want to give the gift of puppies. One additional thing to consider for your friend who is getting a puppy is to make arrangements for a pet door to be installed at their home. Contact Australia Pet Doors today to complete your puppy gift-giving plan.
