Puppy Essentials

Puppies require puppy gear! Here's the gear we use and recommend for you to get before your new puppy comes home.

Purina Pro Plan Puppy Food (Shredded Chicken and Rice)

All our dogs have been thriving on Purina Pro Plan for over a decade. This is a high quality food that will provide your puppy with good nutrition. Click HERE to view this item on Amazon.

Puppy Playpen

We recommend that you have an area in your home where you can safely leave your puppy while you are not able to attend them closely. This will keep them safe and out of trouble, and also help with potty training boundaries. Click HERE to view this item on Amazon!

Washable Puppy Mat

Protect your rugs and floors from potty mistakes, splashes, paw prints, and scratches with a washable mat to put under your puppy's play area. If it gets dirty, no worries, just pop it in the washer! Click HERE to view this item on Amazon!

Little Wolves Puppy Potty Tray

If you plan to keep potty tray training your puppy, we highly recommend the Little Wolves tray! It is heavy duty and by far the best brand we have found. Waste will easily fall through the grate and onto the disposable pad, which you can change as needed. This designs prevents your puppy from stepping in their waste, or from chewing or playing with the disposable potty pads. This brand is worth every penny! Click HERE to view this item on Amazon.

Nature's Miracle Stain and Odor Remover

                     

Accidents will happen! Be prepared with our trusted brand of stain and odor remover. Regular household cleaners may appear to do the trick, but your puppy's incredible sense of smell won't be fooled. You need this mix of enzymes to properly eliminate the essence so your puppy won't be triggered to repeat their mistake. Use generously, and rest assured that this stuff works. Great for rugs and upholstery. Click HERE to view this item on Amazon.

Puppy Harness and Leash

A harness and leash are essential any time your puppy is outside your home or yard. A harness can be preferable to a typical collar for young puppies because their tiny neck bones are so delicate. Click HERE to view this item on Amazon!

Small Crate

I recommend that you start out with a small, inexpensive crate for your puppy to sleep in. Remember, your puppy will outgrow this crate within a few months. The crate should be just big enough for you puppy to turn around, stand, and lay down. If it is to large, your puppy may create a "potty side" where they relieve themselves. Small is best, it helps your puppy feel cozy and secure, and you can upgrade as your puppy grows. Click HERE to view this item on Amazon!

Snuggle Puppy Heartbeat Toy

We have found the Snuggle Puppy Heartbeat Toy to be comforting to a puppy sleeping alone for the first time. The vibrating heartbeat inside this toy provides a soothing sleep soundtrack and can be helpful as your puppy transitions to sleeping alone. Click HERE to view this item on Amazon

Hard Chew Toys

As your puppy begins to lose their baby teeth and grow their permanent teeth, they develop a need to chew and gnaw on something hard! We have found Benebone to be a great brand that most dogs enjoy! Click HERE to view this item on Amazon.

Teaser Toy

This is our favorite puppy toy! They could chase this thing for hours, and it is so fun to watch them leap and frolic. This is one purchase you won't regret. Click HERE to view this item on Amazon.
