Investing in a dog crate can be both an essential part of having a dog and a big frustration. We bought a very small dog crate when we first got our Westie and quickly realized we needed a bigger one as he started to grow. While it’s okay to need to buy a bigger crate, you don’t want to spend a ton of money on one that you’re just going to upgrade in a few weeks. Thankfully, there are a lot of affordable crate options out there like this double-door dog crate from AmazonBasics.

Trust us when we say that puppies might get somewhat trained in a few days, but it takes weeks of positive training behaviors to really help them learn those habits for good. One of the things that we have found most helpful in training puppies is using pet pads. We used these from the very start with our Westie so that we knew he would always know his back up place to go to the bathroom if we couldn’t let him outside, and they’ve been a lifesaver.

One of the biggest problems we’ve experienced while out and about with our Westie is that we need to find an easy way to get him some fresh water. While he would be content to drink from the river or any puddle he sees, we don’t want him getting sick from any polluted water! In our research, we found out about dog water bottles and decided to give this CJMJ Portable Dog Water Bottle a try. Will this type of water bottle work for you and your Westie, too? Let’s take a closer look together.

All dog owners know that sometimes, your dog will just get tired of walking, or you’ll be out in areas where you don’t feel comfortable with them walking about. In those situations, Westie owners like us are lucky enough to be able to carry our pups around with us in carrier backpacks! However, not all backpack carriers are created equal, and we’ve had a hard time in the past getting a carrier that felt comfortable for Sami and for us. While an average backpack will work in a one-time scenario, you always want to be sure that you’re choosing something smart and sensible for you and your Westie.
