What is needed to raise a Shiba Inu? The first is to prepare a dog house for the Shiba Inu to sleep in, place it in a quiet, dark place, warm in winter and cool in summer; secondly, prepare a toilet for the Shiba Inu to go to the toilet, and the toilet is used to train the Shiba Inu to learn After use, it cannot be moved at will; the last thing is the dog's rice bowl, collar leash and hygiene and cleaning supplies.

The dog house where Shiba Inu sleeps

The dog house does not need to be very particular, as long as it is spacious. In fact, you can also use a cardboard box or wooden box and put a towel on it. If you buy a dog house sold in a store, you can lock the dog in advance before guests come to visit, which is really convenient. The dog house should be placed in a quiet and dark place. It is best to choose a place that is warm in winter and cool in summer, ventilated and protected from the sun. If possible, it should be placed in different places in winter and summer.

The defecation place of Shiba Inu cannot be changed at will

In addition to dog houses, dog toilets can also be purchased in merchandise. Of course, you can also make one yourself if you can. You can use larger plastic boxes used in the kitchen, or two-layer plastic baskets to control vegetable washing water, as long as you put a few more layers of newspapers inside. It is best to place the dog's toilet in a quiet corner where it is not easily seen so that it can defecate easily. It can also be placed in the toilet at home. If flushing convenience is considered, it can also be placed in the bathroom or on the balcony with sewerage. Once the location of the toilet is decided, try not to move it casually to prevent the dog from defecating everywhere because it cannot find it.

In addition to the above items, you also need to prepare a food bowl, a collar and a leash for walking. When arranging these things, you must first consider whether they are convenient to use.

You should choose a suitable dog food bowl

If you choose a plastic basin as your dog's food basin, it is easy to be bitten by dogs, and it is not easy to wash when it is dirty. It may be better to buy an expensive stainless steel basin. It is best to choose one with a stable base and not easily knocked over.

Choose a collar that matches the Shiba Inu

There are various types of collars, including leather, synthetic leather, nylon, metal, etc. For small dogs, it is best to choose a softer one, while for long-haired dogs, using a collar can easily cause hair loss or neck hair lodging. It is better to use a back-type traction sheath from the heel of the front legs to the back shoulders.

Prepare some hygiene and cleaning supplies

In order to keep the Shiba Inu's hair and skin clean at all times, don't forget to prepare hygiene and cleaning supplies for it, such as shampoo, conditioner, combs, brushes, nail clippers, tweezers, cotton swabs, etc. When purchasing shampoo, don’t forget to consider whether it is suitable for your dog’s coat color, because it is divided into many varieties for white dogs, greyhounds, indoor dogs, puppies, etc.
