Does the owner provide the food and toys?

Hi, Abigail,

Typically, the owner provides food, any treats, and leash. Many also provide a favorite pillow or toys, and some even bring their own bowls and crates.

It is a good idea to keep extra leashes, toys, treats and pillows on hand, as well as your own supply of poop bags. I have also had occasion to use my own harnesses and collars, especially for small dogs.

If you think you may give the dog some of your own treats, be sure to check with the owners first to make sure there are no allergies.
