I love the Kiss e-cone sold here by hotrodsmom they're great to use aftee a spay neuter, to have on hand for emergencies and I use them during grooming too while trimming nails to keep lil ears and noses away from the trimmers.
In general making a dog emergency kit is a good idea to have ready from the start too.
A good pirtable play pen is good to have too.
Personally I used baby shampoo on my puppies. |
