Q. Question number one:
I'm going to be adopting a one year old American Pit Bull Terrier with in the next couple weeks(Female - 52 pounds) from my local animal shelter and i am ordering some stuff off of a website (A reputable website!) i already ordered a twelve month supply of both Frontline Plus and Heartgard Plus. I also ordered Super Pure Omega 3 240 capsules (I am ordering everything i need all at once.) I have already bought multiple toys, three leashes (A nylon leash, a chain leash, and a leather leash), two flat collars, Shampoo, a crate/kennel, a extra large dog bed, an elevated food and water dish holder, food and water bowls (Four), and i have $2,500 set aside in the bank for any emergencies (Unexpected Veterinary Emergency)... I do have a veterinarian appointment set up for June 16th (I will be getting my American Pit Bull Terrier on the 12th) and i am signing her up for obedience classes that start on June 22nd.
Is there anything else that i need for my new companion that i am missing?
Question number two:
I am wondering how long a 30 pound bag of Taste Of The Wild Wetlands Canine with Roasted Fowl Dry Dog Food along with 12 cans of Taste Of The Wild Wetlands Canine with Roasted Fowl Canned Dog Food (13.3 OZ in each can) would last (An estimate would be fantastic!)? I don't know if i should order two bags and 24 cans, or just one bag and 12 cans for the time being.
I am so excited to get my dog, i have been saving up for my own dog since i was 17 years old (I am now 26 years old) and waiting until i was in a good place (Both financially and having my own home/fenced in yard/etc..) to adopt my own dog.
Dragonfry,
First of all, i want to say thank you so much.
I want to add though, that the metal leash has chain links but the handle is leather, i probably should have mentioned that previously. (Like this: http://www.google.com/#q=Chain+leash&hl=en&rlz=1R2ADFA_enUS414&prmd=ivns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&ei=8JPjTeXRIMXi0QHcvojCBw&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CFAQzAMwAA&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=3462ed02299704e9&biw=1345&bih=496 )
Also, the elevated water/food dish holder attaches to the crate so my dog won't be able to tip/spill it, i won't be using it regularly.. Just for travel/etc..

CONGRATS on getting a dog. You seem very excited. What you have now should be fine, the dog will be lots of work but it is so worth it. Depending on how well shes trained i sugest preparing yourself lol your house is ready, but make sure before you get her your 100% willing to take the time and do the work having a dog means. Normally a dog should be fed once or twice a day, smaller bowlfuls if twice. But it also depends on the dog. I sugest ordering the smaller ammount. Rember you cant dictate how the dog will react to the food. Maybe it upsets her tummy, maybe it causes her to have issues taking a dump, maybe she just hates the food. Dogs can be picky. My own lost there taste for the old food and wouldnt eat, now i have to buy another kind. Id be happy to say more about how to care for a dog if youd like to im or message me.

Dear god, I'm appalled both that you would even ask this and that a couple people encouraged it. I do APBT rescue and this is one of the most heartless things I have ever heard. You want to leave a sick dog outside in the cold rain, stuck in a crate filled with his own feces?! Please, please dont tell me that this is for real. What a pathetic, lazy excuse for a dog owner. People like you are the reason that the world we live in is so heartless. Please reasses what is important in life- you need a reality check.
