items All the things we purchased (and liked) when we brought our sweet rescue home. His favorites and ours shared to save you time and money.
My lab puppy’s favorite toy. The tabs make it easy for him to hold and carry. The second image shows the soccer ball I’m referring to.
Easy Hold soccer ball with tabs (to wear your puppy out)
The tastiest treat. Fill with kibble, dog friendly peanut butter & bone broth, yogurt, and treats. Freeze it and you have a treat your pup will love. We thought this would be hard for our 14wk lab puppy to manage but we were wrong! He gets excite...
Long-Lasting Wobbly Dog Lick Toy M Dark Blue
For crazy chewers. This lasts a long time for our 16wk lab puppy. But we gave one to our grand pup (frenchie) and he was obsessed! He was able to finish it in a few days but it kept him busy for a long while.

We used these for our brand new lab puppy when he came home as a teether. They lasted him a few days but now he can go through them quickly.

FURminator Medium Dog Long Hair DeShedding Tool
As our pup grows he needed a different harness. This one is adjustable and feels secure. I also like that it has a back hook and front hook depending on what we need for the day.
