what my dog is on, and I’d pick it again. Very few recalls, a great base, and follows WSAVA guidelines.

Great simple dog biscuits! If you want to give your puppy a hard treat, these are great, especially with a simple ingredient list.

great single-ingredient soft treats that are easy to break up!
Vital Essentials
my pup LOVED these and I think they saved our furniture.

toys
NEED. a perfect crate treat to make your pup LOVE their crate!
KONG Puppy | KONG Company
another great crate treat to use for your pet! put whole meals in it, freeze it to make it last longer!
Toppl® Treat Toy | Viral Puzzle Enrichment Treat Dispenser
give these in the crate too! need to supervise as they can chew the rubber, but licking does calm them so these are great for anxious dogs.
LickiMat USA
puppies might chew the soft toys, but these packs of 3 or 6 are a great way to try some out!
Miniz
didn't use this with my pup, but would have loved to at least try it because she did have a hard time at night!
Snuggle Puppy® Heartbeat Stuffed Toy for Pet Anxiety Relief
recommend just getting cheap toys for pups for them to figure out what they like! (and what they'll tear up)
Dog Toys
this might feel like it won't make a big deal in your throwing… but it does. wish i bought this sooner!
Chuckit! Pro Launcher Dog Ball Launcher
i very much prefer the soft frisbee to hard ones! when we take this to the park, it's the most popular toy!
Chuckit Frisbee
grooming
get them used to this NOW. SO important for dental health to clean their teeth! (and chews won't do the whole job!)
Dog Finger Toothbrush
used this dog shampoo for my dog and never had any issues!
Rowan | Clean Coat Care For Modern Dogs
if your dog sheds or has an undercoat, you need to get them used to this ASAP to avoid mats!
Dog Grooming Rakes
for BEHIND THE EARS. the only place my dog used to get mats, and since using these - no mats!
Metal Dog Comb
microfiber is such an hack for the dog! they'll hate it so get it done quick!
Microfiber Pet Towel
if you're a little extra, get the bathrobe version :)
Dog Drying Coat Bathrobe Towel, Microfibre
misc
I can’t recommend crate training enough! My dog, who now is free roam, still returns to her kennel as her safe place. It makes SUCH a difference.
Midwest Dog Crates
a splurge, but thought this was a good bang for buck splurge treat!
PupBox
if you don't take anything from this list… take this. you need this.
Advanced Stain and Odor Eliminator for Dogs
because you'll need a safe space for you and for your pup!

i have the pan camera. it's cheap and gets the job done. 10/10.
