At Home
The double doors allows so many options for this crate! Good quality & folds down easily. Different sizes available. Crate should be big enough for your dog to stand up and turn around in. The divider is handy for sizing down the crate while they...
Top Paw® Double Door Folding Wire Dog Crate with Divider Panel
If you're crate training (which is so beneficial for every dog home), a crate cover is a must! Covering the crate can help puppy relax and rest without the FOMO barking.
Nate & Jeremiah Cloth Crate Cover
A blanket they can always have around for nap times & sleeps.
Pet Parents® Pet Blanket
We have this specific pen. I use it as an extension to the crate to allow puppy to come in and out, eat, drink, and use the pad when needed. Great for the young puppy phase when they can't hold their bladders very long.
Top Paw® Exercise Pen
Can never have enough potty pads. You WILL use them!
Top Paw® Dog Pads - 23"L x 24"W
Puppies are messy eaters/drinkers - trust me you’ll want the built in silicone mat! Everything is removable and dishwater safe for thorough cleaning.

On the Go
This is a pricier car seat option, but my small dogs LOVE being able to see out the window!

For bigger dogs & adventurers. A waterproof seat cover may work better than a car seat to protect your seats.

The 2-in-1 bottle & bowl is a game changer. So easy to just grab one thing and go!
Arcadia Trail® 2-in-1 Water Bottle & Bowl
We will switch to a harness eventually, but while Biscuit is still mastering good behavior on the leash, a collar gives me more control. Chew resistant because duh.
KONG® Chew Resistant Dog Collar
I like having a standard 6' leash as well as a longer leash for recall training and exploring.
Top Paw® Nylon Dog Leash: 6-ft long
Teething & Chews
Biscuit loved this when teething was in full swing! You can soak it in water (or bone broth, etc) and freeze it. The cold soothes their gums & the cold treat would be excellent for summer!

A good quality puppy food. This is what we have. There are small bits of shredded chicken throughout the kibble. My dogs love it!!

My dogs go NUTS for these! They are less than 1 kcal per treat, so perfect for training bc you can give lots of them!

Training, Toys, & Enrichment
Great way to keep puppies mentally stimulated, especially during that timeframe before they’re up to date on vaccines! Also good for slowing down fast eaters.
Nina Ottosson® Outward Hound® Puppy Hide N' Slide Interactive Treat Puzzle Dog Toy
Kongs are so good for keeping them occupied! I fill these with my dog’s kibble (softened with bone broth), their fav treats, and top it off with some plain Greek yogurt or peanut butter 😋 busy for 20 mins minimum!

Higher end option for a gentle shampoo

Puppies WILL get dirty at the most inconvenient times and keeping wipes around WILL save your sanity.
