Are you a new pet parent about to visit the pet store? Or the new NHV Boutique? It can be a bit daunting with all the options there! That’s why we made this handy guide with our Pet Experts’ top recommendations for what pet care essentials you should always have on hand.
Pet care essentials include more than just toys, bedding, and treats.
New Fur-Parent’s Checklist for Pet Care Essentials
Before you wander down the aisles of a pet store or explore the cozy NHV Boutique, it can help to be prepared with a list. Here are the 7 things every pet parent should have in their homes:
- Food – of course, your fur-kiddo needs to eat! Choose something vet-approved and contains meat as the first ingredient, rather than fillers. To help pets get the most out of their food, you can serve it with Multi Essentials or PetOmega3.
- Hygiene Items – some pet-safe shampoo, a brush, and nail trimmers will have your pet feeling fresh and fab! Coco FurCare can be used in-between baths to help pets stay fresh.
- Dental Care – getting your cat or dog basic dental cleaning supplies like a toothbrush, pet-safe toothpaste, and Mouth Drops can help address bad breath and other mouth troubles.
- A Cozy Bed – it’s true: most pets would rather sleep on their human’s bed! But it is still important for them to have their own space where they can rest unbothered. Because sleeping on hard surfaces can cause issues, a soft pet bed will help them feel well-rested.
- A Leash and Collar – this one is obvious for dogs, but even cats can enjoy the outdoors more safely with a leash, collar, and tags. You can use Target Spray before they head out as proactive care against ticks, fleas, and mosquitos.
- Pet First Aid – the items needed to treat wounds are important to have on hand before any scrapes or cuts happen. You can make your own with gauze, medical adhesive, and the Cut and Wound Kit.
- Enrichment – Your pet is a curious and smart little creature! Pick up some toys and enrichment items to keep them stimulated and sharp. It’s a great way to help them get exercise and bond, too!
Healthy Inside and Out
Pet care essentials include more than just toys, bedding, and treats. We are also responsible for our fur babies’ health, inside and out! That’s why supportive supplements that can help our pets fight off health conditions and age with health all play a role in what is essential for your fur-kiddo.

Heal your pet’s wounds naturally with these vet-formulated and vet-approved natural pet remedies. Used together, NHV All Clear Ointment and NHV First Aid Spray help speed healing and help prevent infection to keep your pet healthy and happy!
Your dog, cat, or other pet is bound to experience wounds, cuts, or scrapes in their lives. As a pet parent, it is important to keep your pet’s wounds as clean as possible to help speed and prevent infection. Use the NHV First Aid Spray plus NHV All Clear Ointment as a natural and holistic way to help heal your pet’s wounds or skin infections quickly.
Use the NHV First Aid Spray for dogs or for cats as a natural antiseptic for dogs and cats first. Then gently apply the NHV All Clear Ointment to soothe inflamed skin for dogs or for cats, and eliminate any bacterial and fungal infections from your pet’s wounds.
Keep your cat, dog, or other pet warm and dry as their wounds begin to heal. Cold weather may make wounds weaker and result in longer healing times for your pet.
Some conditions, like anemia and malnutrition may cause problems in healing. See NHV’s anemia kit if your pet suffers from anemia.
For serious trauma and open wounds that require medical attention, please see your veterinarian immediately, so they may begin to treat and stabilize your cat, dog, or other pet. After any serious trauma, your pet may still be in a state of shock. You may want to consider adding NHV Matricalm for cats to their daily healing routine to help calm and soothe their nerves or Lesstress for dogs.
