    "article.author": `Jahara Asi`,
    "article.excerpt_or_content": `New dog in the house? Here’s your ultimate, fun-filled guide to everything a new dog owner needs—from the right harness to the best treats and beyond. Get ready for wagging tails and lots of love!`,
    "article.content": `Congratulations! 🎉 You’ve officially joined the club of belly rubs, wagging tails, and fur-covered everything. Whether you're bringing home a wiggly little puppy or adopting a wise and wonderful senior dog, you're in for the most rewarding, heart-melting adventure of your life. But first… let’s talk gear. And snacks. And poop bags. (Yeah, we’re going there.)
Because let’s be real: your new furry BFF may come with puppy-dog eyes, but they didn’t come with an instruction manual. So if you’re asking “What does a new dog owner need?”, you’ve come to the right place.

🐾 First Things First: Prepare Your Home
Imagine being a dog. New house. New smells. New humans. That’s a lot! Setting up a safe, cozy environment is priority #1.
🛏 A Comfy Dog Bed
Dogs sleep a lot. Like, 12–18 hours a day. Invest in a soft, supportive dog bed they can call their own. Bonus points if it’s machine washable (muddy paws are a thing).
🦴 Toys, Toys, Toys
Chew toys, plush toys, squeaky toys—each serves a purpose. Chew toys help with teething and boredom. Plushies offer comfort. And squeaky toys? Pure chaos (and joy).
🚧 Baby Gates or Playpens
Perfect for keeping them away from stairs, kitchens, or that one suspicious corner they always seem to find.
🧼 Cleaning Supplies
Accidents happen. Stock up on enzymatic cleaner to get rid of those "oops" smells. Your nose will thank you.

🍽️ Feeding Time: What You Need for Mealtime Success
Let’s talk chow. Keeping your pup well-fed (and not face-first in your dinner plate) takes the right gear.
🥣 Dog Bowls (Food & Water)
Stainless steel or ceramic bowls are ideal—they’re durable, easy to clean, and don’t absorb smells like plastic.
🍗 High-Quality Dog Food
Consult your vet to find a brand suited to your dog’s breed, age, and health needs. Pro tip: Look for food with real meat as the first ingredient.
🦴 Treats Galore
Training treats, long-lasting chews, and special occasion goodies are all must-haves. Just watch the calories—chunky pups are cute, but vet bills aren’t.

🐕 Walk the Walk: Dog Walking Essentials
Whether you’re heading to the park or just doing the ol’ “sniff-every-tree” route, walking gear is a new dog owner must-have.
🦮 Escape-Proof Harness
Skip the cheapies. A secure, well-fitting no-pull harness like the Luxe Harness from Dogistry keeps your pup safe, comfortable, and oh-so-stylish. (Fashionable + functional = win-win.)
🐾 Leash (Adjustable Preferred)
A leash with adjustable length gives you better control in busy areas and more freedom when it’s safe to roam.
💩 Poop Bag Dispenser
Keep it classy—attach a sleek poop bag holder to your leash and never get caught bagless again. We like one that matches the leash for bonus style points.
✨ ID Tag & Collar
Even if your pup’s microchipped, a visible ID tag with your phone number is a lifesaver.

🐩 Grooming Gear: Stay Fresh, Not Funky
Dogs don’t need daily showers (thank goodness), but they do need regular grooming to stay clean, healthy, and hug-ready.
🧼 Dog Shampoo & Conditioner
Choose a gentle, pet-safe formula. Bonus if it smells like vanilla cupcakes or coconuts.
💨 Brush or Comb
Different breeds need different tools. Short-haired dogs shed too—so a good brush is always a wise investment.
✂️ Nail Clippers or Grinder
Long nails = click-clack on the floor and potential injury. If you’re nervous, leave it to a groomer.
👃 Ear Cleaner & Toothbrush
Yes, dogs need oral hygiene too. Brushing their teeth helps prevent bad breath and vet visits.

🐶 Training & Socialization: Good Dog 101
Even the best pups need some coaching. Setting boundaries early = happier life for both of you.
🦴 Training Treats (Again, yes!)
Tiny, tasty, and motivating. Use them to reinforce good behaviors like sitting, staying, and not destroying your couch cushions.
📚 Basic Obedience Classes or Online Courses
Sometimes it’s easier when someone else does the teaching. Look for reward-based programs that make learning fun.
🚗 Car Harness or Travel Crate
Safety first, especially during car rides. Buckle them in or secure them in a crate—they’re not a backseat driver just yet.

🏥 Health & Wellness: Because They Can’t Tell You What Hurts
No one likes a surprise vet bill, but prevention is everything.
🐕🦺 Vet Visit & Vaccinations
Schedule a check-up ASAP. Get their shots, ask about flea/tick prevention, and discuss spaying/neutering if needed.
💊 Monthly Preventatives
Heartworm, fleas, ticks—there’s a pill (or chew) for that. Put a reminder on your phone and stay on top of it.
📁 Pet Insurance
It's not glamorous, but it’s a lifesaver when unexpected medical issues come up. Do your research to find a plan that fits.

🧳 The “Just in Case” Kit
Things you hope never happen… but if they do, you’ll be glad you were ready.
🩹 First Aid Kit
Include basics like gauze, tweezers, antiseptic wipes, and a pet-safe thermometer.
📷 Recent Photos of Your Dog
If they ever get lost (heaven forbid), recent photos help with posters and social media alerts.
👀 Microchip Registration
Make sure it’s registered and up to date. It’s your best shot at reuniting if they wander.

🏆 Bonus Fun: Spoil Your Pup (Because Why Not?)
Being a dog parent is about joy. Here are a few “just because” extras to sprinkle into your starter kit.
🎉 Personalized Bandanas or Name Tags
Because being adorable is part of the job description.
📸 A Doggie Instagram Account
They’re already cuter than most influencers. Share their life, their mischief, and their daily snoozes with the world.

🐾 The New Dog Owner Starter Pack: Checklist Recap
Here’s your quick & dirty checklist:
✅ Comfy bed✅ Food & water bowls✅ High-quality dog food✅ Treats (lots)✅ Toys (chew, squeaky, plush)✅ Escape-proof harness✅ Leash✅ Poop bag dispenser + bags✅ ID tag & collar✅ Grooming supplies✅ Vet appointment✅ Flea/tick/heartworm prevention✅ Training treats✅ Car safety gear✅ First aid kit✅ Pet insurance✅ Extra love and patience 💖

Final Thoughts: You’ve Got This 🐶✨
Bringing a new dog into your life is a huge (and amazing) commitment. There will be chewed shoes. There may be midnight potty trips. But there will also be cuddles, goofy moments, and the purest kind of love you’ll ever know.
So stock up, gear up, and get ready for a ride filled with wagging tails and unfiltered joy. Your pup doesn’t need you to be perfect—they just need you to show up with love (and maybe a few treats in your pocket).
Welcome to the dog life. It’s the best life.

🐶 What Does a New Dog Owner Need? Your Ultimate Starter Kit for Puppy Parenthood

Congratulations! 🎉 You’ve officially joined the club of belly rubs, wagging tails, and fur-covered everything. Whether you're bringing home a wiggly little puppy or adopting a wise and wonderful senior dog, you're in for the most rewarding, heart-melting adventure of your life. But first… let’s talk gear. And snacks. And poop bags. (Yeah, we’re going there.)

Because let’s be real: your new furry BFF may come with puppy-dog eyes, but they didn’t come with an instruction manual. So if you’re asking “What does a new dog owner need?”, you’ve come to the right place.

🐾 First Things First: Prepare Your Home

Imagine being a dog. New house. New smells. New humans. That’s a lot! Setting up a safe, cozy environment is priority #1.

🛏 A Comfy Dog Bed

Dogs sleep a lot. Like, 12–18 hours a day. Invest in a soft, supportive dog bed they can call their own. Bonus points if it’s machine washable (muddy paws are a thing).

🦴 Toys, Toys, Toys

Chew toys, plush toys, squeaky toys—each serves a purpose. Chew toys help with teething and boredom. Plushies offer comfort. And squeaky toys? Pure chaos (and joy).

🚧 Baby Gates or Playpens

Perfect for keeping them away from stairs, kitchens, or that one suspicious corner they always seem to find.

🧼 Cleaning Supplies

Accidents happen. Stock up on enzymatic cleaner to get rid of those "oops" smells. Your nose will thank you.

🍽️ Feeding Time: What You Need for Mealtime Success

Let’s talk chow. Keeping your pup well-fed (and not face-first in your dinner plate) takes the right gear.

🥣 Dog Bowls (Food & Water)

Stainless steel or ceramic bowls are ideal—they’re durable, easy to clean, and don’t absorb smells like plastic.

🍗 High-Quality Dog Food

Consult your vet to find a brand suited to your dog’s breed, age, and health needs. Pro tip: Look for food with real meat as the first ingredient.

🦴 Treats Galore

Training treats, long-lasting chews, and special occasion goodies are all must-haves. Just watch the calories—chunky pups are cute, but vet bills aren’t.

🐕 Walk the Walk: Dog Walking Essentials

Whether you’re heading to the park or just doing the ol’ “sniff-every-tree” route, walking gear is a new dog owner must-have.

🦮 Escape-Proof Harness

Skip the cheapies. A secure, well-fitting no-pull harness like the Luxe Harness from Dogistry keeps your pup safe, comfortable, and oh-so-stylish. (Fashionable + functional = win-win.)

🐾 Leash (Adjustable Preferred)

A leash with adjustable length gives you better control in busy areas and more freedom when it’s safe to roam.

💩 Poop Bag Dispenser

Keep it classy—attach a sleek poop bag holder to your leash and never get caught bagless again. We like one that matches the leash for bonus style points.

✨ ID Tag & Collar

Even if your pup’s microchipped, a visible ID tag with your phone number is a lifesaver.

🐩 Grooming Gear: Stay Fresh, Not Funky

Dogs don’t need daily showers (thank goodness), but they do need regular grooming to stay clean, healthy, and hug-ready.

🧼 Dog Shampoo & Conditioner

Choose a gentle, pet-safe formula. Bonus if it smells like vanilla cupcakes or coconuts.

💨 Brush or Comb

Different breeds need different tools. Short-haired dogs shed too—so a good brush is always a wise investment.

✂️ Nail Clippers or Grinder

Long nails = click-clack on the floor and potential injury. If you’re nervous, leave it to a groomer.

👃 Ear Cleaner & Toothbrush

Yes, dogs need oral hygiene too. Brushing their teeth helps prevent bad breath and vet visits.

🐶 Training & Socialization: Good Dog 101

Even the best pups need some coaching. Setting boundaries early = happier life for both of you.

🦴 Training Treats (Again, yes!)

Tiny, tasty, and motivating. Use them to reinforce good behaviors like sitting, staying, and not destroying your couch cushions.

📚 Basic Obedience Classes or Online Courses

Sometimes it’s easier when someone else does the teaching. Look for reward-based programs that make learning fun.

🚗 Car Harness or Travel Crate

Safety first, especially during car rides. Buckle them in or secure them in a crate—they’re not a backseat driver just yet.

🏥 Health & Wellness: Because They Can’t Tell You What Hurts

No one likes a surprise vet bill, but prevention is everything.

🐕🦺 Vet Visit & Vaccinations

Schedule a check-up ASAP. Get their shots, ask about flea/tick prevention, and discuss spaying/neutering if needed.

💊 Monthly Preventatives

Heartworm, fleas, ticks—there’s a pill (or chew) for that. Put a reminder on your phone and stay on top of it.

📁 Pet Insurance

It's not glamorous, but it’s a lifesaver when unexpected medical issues come up. Do your research to find a plan that fits.

🧳 The “Just in Case” Kit

Things you hope never happen… but if they do, you’ll be glad you were ready.

🩹 First Aid Kit

Include basics like gauze, tweezers, antiseptic wipes, and a pet-safe thermometer.

📷 Recent Photos of Your Dog

If they ever get lost (heaven forbid), recent photos help with posters and social media alerts.

👀 Microchip Registration

Make sure it’s registered and up to date. It’s your best shot at reuniting if they wander.

🏆 Bonus Fun: Spoil Your Pup (Because Why Not?)

Being a dog parent is about joy. Here are a few “just because” extras to sprinkle into your starter kit.

🎉 Personalized Bandanas or Name Tags

Because being adorable is part of the job description.

📸 A Doggie Instagram Account

They’re already cuter than most influencers. Share their life, their mischief, and their daily snoozes with the world.

🐾 The New Dog Owner Starter Pack: Checklist Recap

Here’s your quick & dirty checklist:

✅ Comfy bed
✅ Food & water bowls
✅ High-quality dog food
✅ Treats (lots)
✅ Toys (chew, squeaky, plush)
✅ Escape-proof harness
✅ Leash
✅ Poop bag dispenser + bags
✅ ID tag & collar
✅ Grooming supplies
✅ Vet appointment
✅ Flea/tick/heartworm prevention
✅ Training treats
✅ Car safety gear
✅ First aid kit

✅ Extra love and patience 💖

Final Thoughts: You’ve Got This 🐶✨

Bringing a new dog into your life is a huge (and amazing) commitment. There will be chewed shoes. There may be midnight potty trips. But there will also be cuddles, goofy moments, and the purest kind of love you’ll ever know.

So stock up, gear up, and get ready for a ride filled with wagging tails and unfiltered joy. Your pup doesn’t need you to be perfect—they just need you to show up with love (and maybe a few treats in your pocket).

Welcome to the dog life. It’s the best life.
