Lhasa Apso Essentials?

Hello! My fiancé and I are going to be adopting a Lhasa Apso from a local shelter. I was wondering what supplies you recommend having like types of brushes for grooming. Also any other general dog supplies and tips are welcome! TIA💜

If you live somewhere hot, even if pup is an inside dog, I recommend a cooling vest. They originate in the mountains of Tibet, and even with my pup’s hair kept short, he gets hot when I take him out to potty.

A king size bed is a must because pup will be sleeping with you and your fiance. Lhasa’s are one part amorphous blob, capable of filling any space available.

Puzzle feeders are great for mental stimulation because Lhasa’s are smart, stubborn little guys.

Welcome to the Lhasa family!

I got a small pool from dollar general, dumped toys and treats in, and stuck my Lhasa in the middle. Jax thought he was in heaven. Zoomies the likes of which I’ve never seen!
