Beds for Small Dogs

From a practical standpoint, I suggest getting dark color beds because they don’t show the dirt as much as light colors and therefore don’t have to be washed as often. I especially like the “cave” beds with removable covers (for ease of washing) because your dog feels more secure and stays warm.

Books for Small Dogs

Confinement

• Baby Gates - If you get one with vertical bars, be especially careful that your dog cannot slip his head through the bars. Your dog can climb over the ones that have criss-cross barriers. Don’t get one that you can step over because it’s not high enough.

• Exercise Pens -​ Get a taller pen than you think you need! Your dog can learn that he can scale his way up and out of the pen. And please use the door only because if he sees you bending over the top of the pen to take him out or put him back in, he realizes that he can climb out.

• Ramp or Staircase -Teach him to walk up and down. If he jumps off the furniture, he can break a leg or dislocate a joint.

Grooming Products

• Brushes - The brushes with a knob on the end of the steel teeth are best because brushes without a knob can be uncomfortable. Bristle brushes help with distributing oils in your dog’s coat.

• Poochie Bells https://amzn.to/2PXtLFb

Please note that I am not in favor of this but am including it because some clients want it. When you train your dog to ring the bell, you intend that he rings it when he has to pee or poop, but he may learn – very quickly – that it’s an easy way to get you to let him outside.

Sweaters & Coats

There are so many options here that it’s difficult to recommend anything specifically. Be sure take your dog’s measurements to size the clothes correctly. Small dogs with short hair need sweaters and coats to help regulate their body temperature.

Toys

  • X-small https://amzn.to/3Jxi6nB

• Chew Toys - I generally don’t recommend rawhide because if your dog swallows a piece, they are difficult to digest and may get stuck in the intestinal tract. Also, I prefer those made in the US. The packaging for some companies says “packed in the US,” which is not the same as manufactured in the US.

Training

• Collar - The solid color nylon collars with ridges are best because you can adjust them as your dog grows.

  • https://amzn.to/3udGXGD

  • https://amzn.to/36eUsxF

• Leash - Please do not get a retractable leash! They can be dangerous because your dog can get too far away from you to be safe. I prefer a 4- to 6-foot leash. Get one no wider than 3/8” that is light weight with a small bolt clasp that opens up and down.

• Harness - It’s important to get a harness that fits snugly on your dog so he won't squirm out of it!
