Puppy Shower Invite
Having a new dog join your family is a major life event, whether it’s a puppy or an adult dog that you’ve adopted, we think it’s something to celebrate!
As with a baby shower, it’s certainly helpful to get some supportive advice and tips from other friends that are dog parents. There’s also no reason why you can’t register or have a gift list as there’s actually quite a few things you need to get for your new dog, especially if it’s a puppy!

Two important decisions to make are:
When to have the New Dog / Puppy Shower?
Will the party include other dogs?
If you’re getting a puppy, you might want to have the shower before your puppy comes home with you so you can get your home all set up, especially for house training.
You could do the shower when your new puppy arrives, but a puppy generally will not have its full round of vaccines yet, so then you would likely not want to have other dogs attend.
If you are bringing home an adult dog, you might prefer to have the party with some other mellow and friendly dogs so he/she can start to socialize with other dogs in your circle of friends. Make sure that you have a place at the party for your new dog to escape and retire to (e.g. a crate) in case he gets tired or is overwhelmed.
Next step is to plan the party, as you would any other party at your home. If you’re the type of person that likes a full themed party, there are quite a few vendors that have full dog/puppy party supplies from invitation cards and balloons to tableware and baked treats and even beer for dogs. Remember to cater for both the humans and the dogs. Avoid having any foods that can be bad for dogs. Just in case, you might want to have a few pee pads around the paw-ty area.
You've probably bought loads of gifts for baby and wedding showers. No reason why you can't have a new dog gift registry - there's actually quite a few things a new dog needs. Not sure what to put on the registry? Check out our new puppy list!
Are you thinking of adopting a dog to bring home to the kids but are not sure which breeds can be considered safe? Because as much as we love dogs and their company, some breeds do not mix well with children. It could be due to several factors like personality traits, dog sizes, aggression, and more. What is clear is that these pooches are the ones to watch out for the most and should not meet your kids.
If you want to adopt a new dog, there is a chance that you may be conflicted between a big dog or a small dog, am I right? This decision can be tough to make for some. So, why not make it easier on yourself and consider a medium size dog instead?
Did you know that dogs are just as much at risk of getting skin cancer as we are? Seriously! Most of them are strongly susceptible to skin damage from sunburns, but not many people think that. And with the temperatures steadily rising, as we get closer to the spring/summer seasons, this can also mean more visits to the veterinarian if we are not careful.
Are you looking for a way to keep your overly-excitable pooch distracted and busy when you are too busy to play with them? If this is the case, then what you need is a dog treat dispenser. This is because boredom is one of the many reasons that lead to dogs chewing up furniture or even acting overly aggressive sometimes.
Are you trying to figure out what is the best dog breed to bring home to your family? There is no question that dogs make great companions, and if you have kids they are a great way to help teach them the value of responsibility and unconditional love. The tricky part is choosing the right dog to blend in with your family lifestyle, and if you are looking for some medium sized dogs, then you have come to the right place!
