Sleepy time
We only buy beds with removable and washable covers. Iykyk.
EHEYCIGA Orthopedic Dog Bed Large Grey 35x23
This bed is great for the crate or out. It has the zipper so you can clean it easily. We often line them with a trash bag so that they’re also water proof!
Ophanie Orthopedic Dog Bed for Large Dogs with Removable Washable Cover, Non-Slip Bottom & Waterproof Liner, Suitable for Crates, 35"x22"x3.5", Gray - Walmart.com
These are the only crates we have and use. They’re good quality and sturdy. We really believe in crate training because it gives dogs a safe space to go to when they’re feeling overwhelmed or tired. We always have at least one set up and often find o...
Vibrant Life Wire Dog Crate, Double-Door, Divider and Leak-Proof Tray, Metal, Foldable, Durable, Black, 36" - Walmart.com

Toys
Our little dog loves this thing and it’s really durable and hard to chew. It still looks fairly new, even after being throw around the yard!

This is the perfect inexpensive puppy set so that when they all get ruined, you won’t be sad. 😂
Zeaxuie 9 Pack Luxury Puppy Chew Toys
Dog puzzles are such a great way to stimulate their brains! Two of our dogs love these and one can’t be bothered. 😂
Dog Puzzle Toy Interactive Treat Dispenser
This puzzle is a little bit trickier. One of our dogs has patience for it, the others don’t. You have to figure out what their needs are!
Outward Hound Lickin’ Layers Small Dog Puzzle
This is our lab mix’s current favorite ball. She can run and run and run forever and this is her fetch ball of choice.
CHUCKIT! Kick Fetch Ball Dog Toy, Large - Chewy.com
Our dogs love these giant tennis balls. Our little terrier mix pushes it around with his nose like he’s playing soccer by himself and it’s the cutest thing ever!
PET FIT FOR LIFE Giant Tennis Ball Dog Toy, Yellow - Chewy.com
This is a necessity in our house! Our lab mix would chase a ball All. Day. Long. And this makes it a little easier for us.
CHUCKIT! Sport Launcher Dog Toy, Color Varies, 26-in - Chewy.com
Our terrier mix is obsessed with water and absolutely loves this thing. The material is thick and durable and won’t get punctured by dog nails. Highly recommend this for the summer!

We love these dog tennis balls. They last longer and seem sturdier than regular tennis balls.
KONG SqueakAir Tennis Ball Dog Toy - Yellow - 4ct: Medium Breed Size, Felt & Rubber Material, Fetch & Chase Pet Activities

These are the absolute best bones for puppy’s. Need them to stop using you as a teether or need a few minutes to yourself? I promise these are the answer!
EARTH ANIMAL No-Hide Stix Long Lasting Natural Rawhide ...
We have the real Rae Dunn dog bowls but these are close enough! I like the ceramic because they’re easy to clean and always look nice.
Dog Food Bowl or Bowl Set, Ceramic Pet Water Bowls, Eat and Drink Dog or Cat Food Bowls, Modern Dog Bowls, Funny Dog Gift for New Puppy
This is the only food that works well for all 3 of our dogs. We’ve tried many and always land back on this one. Their GI tracts are happy on it. 🤷♀️
Purina ONE Lamb & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food, 16.5 lbs.
Kongs are a must, especially with a new puppy! They keep them busy and mentally stimulated for a long time. We like to put things in it that can be frozen - peanut butter, bananas, Kong filling, etc.
KONG Refillable Classic Chew Dog Toy - S
Our dogs absolutely love these! We used to go to three dog bakery all the time but we don’t have one close by anymore. I’m glad we can still get some of the products!
Three Dog Bakery Lick'n Crunch Sandwich Cookies, Carob and Peanut Butter and Golden and Vanilla Flavor, Crunchy Dog Treats, 26 oz.
Grooming
Do you have a dog that sheds? Our lab mix is constantly shedding and it’s the worst in the summer. This vacuum has been a true lifesaver! It actually works and does such a great job of de-shedding, we couldn’t live without it!
LMVVC Pet Grooming Vacuum Kit for Dogs & Cats, with 2.3L Suction, Cleaning Tools, Animals, Low-Noise Electric Puppy Cute - TikTok Shop
Do you have a dog that doesn’t like getting their nails cut? This grinder works really well!
Petsaunter Dog Nail Grinder, 2-Speed, LED, TypeC
Fashion
These harnesses are sturdy and high quality. We have one for our small dog and for our medium dog and it works well for both of them. Definitely check the measurements before ordering.
PHOEPET No Pull Dog Harness M Pink Reflective
These collars are so pretty and high quality! Take the sizing with a grain of salt…The small fits our Aussiedoodle and she’s a medium dog. I’d say it runs a bit big.
ARING PET Floral Dog Collar Adjustable Cotton
The cutest, coziest dog sweater.
Dog Sweater Small Dogs Winter Fleece Warm
This is a must have for me with a new puppy. You still want to take them out to socialize but you don’t want them walking until they have all of their vaccines. This is the perfect way to do it!
Tomkas Small Dog Sling Carrier for 3-10 lbs
This is our harness of choice for our big dog. There are times when we’re out and she will just stop walking and other harnesses can get pulled over her head. That doesn’t happen with this one. It’s very secure and comfortable for her!
Huntboo Escape Proof Dog Harness XL Teal
This shop has beautiful, high quality dog collars!
Menagerie Rosa Dog Collar - Hunter ~ Les Fleurs Rosa Dog Collar ~ Rifle Paper Co ~ Fashion Dog Collar ~ Fabric Collar ~ Rose Gold Hardware
Fast, inexpensive and nice quality dog tags!
Custom Personalized Engraved Heart Dog Pet Gift Tag Light Weight Anodized Aluminum | 3 lines of ID Name Information | Made in the USA
Training
Clicker training is our favorite way to train our pups. We’ve taken them to classes but it’s just as easy to implement at home!
Dog Training Clicker with Wrist Strap & Keyring
We had to stay at my parents house for a couple weeks and they have a balcony and no direct access to the backyard. When I tell you this thing was amazing, I’m not exaggerating. It was a lifesaver for us!
HQ4us Extra Large Dog Grass Pad 45x34 with Tray
It’s important to have a slip lead on hand, whether for your own dog or someone else’s that may have run away. This one is really good price.
Patas Lague Reflective Slip Lead Dog Leash 6FT
We love this leash for all of our dogs, big to small. It’s sturdy and comfortable to hold.
Taglory 6FT Rope Dog Leash with Padded Handle
Surgery recovery
This is a must have after spay/neuter surgery. The cones are fine but it’s not realistic for them to wear them for weeks. This really helps, especially during the day when you can still watch them!
Dog Recovery Suit After Surgery Wear Onesie
This cone is a bit more comfortable and definitely easier to take on and off than the ones they give you at the vet.
Supet Adjustable Dog Cone Collar for Recovery
