My puppy loves food but he really loves freeze dried treats. I like a lot of different brands, but I tend to come back to Open Farm because they work so well as high value treats. They are the perfect size and don't crumble in your hands!

We love chuck it in this house! I have so many toys from them. I love the indoor ball because it doesn't make noise on my wood floors and I like the ball launcher so I don't have to touch the drool coated ball with my hands. As a dog mom to a retriev...

This has been a winter staple! I am very lucky that my puppy has always been allowed to come to work with me, but because of that he doesn't always get to run outside during the week. This has helped my puppy meet his physical and mental needs by hav...

Honestly T.J.Maxx has been amazing for finding cheap but incredible toys. Especially while my puppy was going through his teething phase. Owning a dog means they are likely going to destroy their toys because it is a natural dog behavior. Having acce...

Snuffle mats are great to help work that little nose and work for their food! I like this one because it is big but you can find snuffle mats at other places too!

My puppy has loved everything from this brand, but I particularly like the collagen rolls because I feel like it lasts longer and gives me a bit for free time to get things done while the fur baby enjoys a treat!

Sardines are a great addition to their diet for omegas! My puppy is kibble fed so I like to add fresh food when I can and sardines are super affordable! Just make sure to get the salt free in water version!

Not all dogs need slow feeder, but my puppy likes to inhale his food so slow feeders are a must! I like to use silicone versions because I find them easier to clean!

I think a crate is an essential for puppies. It allows them a place to decompress and have their own space. It takes a while to train them to love their crate but once you do it is well worth the time and investment! My puppy grew fast so we ended up...

Enrichment is so important for mentally stimulating your puppy. It also gives you a few minutes to breathe and gives them a tasty treat! I like to add things like applesauce, yogurt, and peanut butter.
