Throwing a Puppy Shower
Adding a new fur baby to the family can be just as exciting as the real thing! What better way to celebrate the new addition than to throw a shower? The cost of adding a puppy to your family can run very high with expenses such as spaying/neutering, training, crates, grooming, food and accessories. Gathering a little help from your friends can go a long way in cutting new puppy costs. You can do this before the puppy arrives, however most find it more entertaining to see the new puppy, and this way your friends can bring their dogs as well to play. If you don’t particularly need many supplies for your new dog, you can always ask your friends to bring donations for a local shelter. Local shelters are always looking for supply donations such as food, collars, leashes, treats, toys, or simply monetary gifts.
Just like any shower, games are a fun way to get everyone involved and have a little fun! At your puppy shower you can play games such as a name contest and have your guests come up with suggestions to name your pup, you can include guidelines such as famous names, matching letters to your name, etc. You can also do a treat treasure hunt for all the four legged guests. Hide different tasty dog treats around your home or yard and have the puppies seek them out. Remember to avoid this game if any of the dogs have food aggression issues. As far as shower food, make sure to have a variety of snacks available for both the dogs and the humans. Just so you don’t confuse people make sure the food is completely separate, and clearly labeled which food is for the dogs. A few whimsical snacks to share could be puppy chow, hot dogs, and anything else puppy themed!
When the party has come to an end, and all the dogs are thoroughly tired out, it’s nice to send your guests home with party favors! Little bags of dog treats and maybe a little plush toy are a nice gift for your dog owners to go home with. For your friends without a dog, consider a personalized bottle of wine or drink of your choice, decorated with a paw print or picture of your new pup.
Importance of Dog Crate Comfort
Dog crates should be a comfortable place for your pup to relax and feel at home. What better way to make it comfortable than with a plush, soft place to snuggle up? Our Plush Cratewear Sets not only provide comfort, but also can help reduce barking and stress. Do you generally find your dog sleeping under a favorite table or next to a couch? It’s generally because dogs are pack animals and prefer a den to live in. With the crate cover securely fitted over the crate, your dog will feel safer and protected much like the feeling of a home. This in turn reduces stress and provides relaxation for your pet.
These covers not only provide comfort, but also reduce light, heat and drafts from coming through the crate, allowing your pup to rest longer and stay safe. The safety bumpers protect your pup the same way bumpers protect a baby in a crib. Available in four fashionable colors, you are sure to find the perfect fit for your home! So spoil your pooch rotten with this luxurious Plush Cratewear Set!
