We needed a safe space for puppy. This fits our entry. Comfortably holds a blanket, puppy pad, dish and a couple toys. It's been perfect for the first year of his life. Will transition to a kennel post puppy stage. This is also similar to what his br...

Don't rely on puppy pads, but they are a nice to have. We are not even using 1 per week. We've been taking our dog out ever 2 hours.

They don't last forever so I like these basic, small beds for your puppy. And you can use more than one in different rooms of the house.

Dress up the space and keep it clean with this food mat. We use this in our kitchen as a grounding place to keep food and water. It's an indicator for the dog and keeps the space neat and tidy.

We love squeak toys that are also fetchable. These hedgehogs and similar sized toys are so fun for a puppy.

Comes in so many sizes depending on your dog breed. Buy one that you know fits them at their full size. Kennels should be a positive and safe space for your pup.

We have both a retractable leash and a standard leash. We find with our 7 year old the retractable is tricky, but we like the option when adults are walking our new dog. Also think about where you are walking and how good your dog is on a leash.

I got some great advice to not over-invest in a harness that they will grow out of. Puppy's can use a harness up to 6 months. When you move to a collar make a better investment as they will not need to change sizes.

Puppy should always have access to water. Depending on where you live you want to make sure your water is safe and filtered. Best value are these galloon jugs.

We keep hard puppy kernels available for our new pup at all times, but there are certain foods that are great for their health. I like having eggs because they are easy to cook and easy to digest.

This is another great whole food option for a new puppy. We air fry or microwave and chop up. Our dog likes them warm or right out of the fridge.
