Food and Water Bowls
As any dog owner knows, food and water bowls are an absolute necessity. No matter what type of dish you choose, it’s important to watch out for cracks that can harbor harmful bacteria. Plastic bowls are not recommended because they can be easily chewed or scratched by your dog. Stainless steel bowls are durable and inexpensive and tend to last a long time. In addition, stainless steel bowls are dishwasher safe and easy to clean. These bowls are great for their cute design and their sturdiness.
Slow Feed Dog Bowl
Why do some dogs feel like eating has to be a race? I have no idea, but these bowls seem to fix that problem.

The Fun Feeder also features a slip-resistant base to prevent sliding and food spillage. Particularly helpful for larger breeds!

It is environmentally safe and created to moisturize your young pet’s sensitive skin and give their coat sheen and luster. Our shampoo contains a coconut base with aloe vera, vitamins A, D, E and a proprietary blend of botanical extracts; no alcohol or animal by-products are ever used. This puppy shampoo is tearless and contains no detergent or soaps that remove the essential natural oils from the skin which your pet needs.
Grooming Comb
This tool is used to remove any of those hidden mats the slicker couldn’t reach. The comb is dual-sided with coarse, fine teeth and is an essential tool for finishing and fluffing coats. It’s perfect for finishing your dog and making sure they’re 100% clear and free of tangles.
Nail Clippers and/or grinders
You need to trim your dog’s nails regularly to prevent nail overgrowth, injury, and discomfort. There are several different kinds of nail clippers on the market, like Scissor clippers (for bigger size dogs), Guillotine clippers (small and medium size dogs), and Grinder tools (all sizes). The grinder works by grinding down the nail instead of clipping. It’s worth noting that the grinding process takes a bit longer than the clipping process, so patience is required. Grinding also tends to leave a smoother finish on the nail.
Pet Grooming Gloves
Keeping your dog’s coat brushed regularly is important for their overall health, as well as yours. These gloves make it easier and more efficient than ever before! This flexible, slip-on grooming gloves allow you to brush away dirt, grime, dander and loose hair from cats, dogs and horses of all shapes and sizes. It also helps stimulate the healthy oils on their skin which can improve the softness and radiance of their coat. You’ll be amazed how well these work!
Collar
The general rule for dog collars is they should be snug with enough room to fit two fingers between your dog’s neck and his collar. The collar should not be too loose to slip over the pet’s head, nor too tight as to restrict breathing or cause coughing. For everyday use, a Nylon or Leather collar will work. For your first collar, we recommend you purchase a collar that fits at one of the smaller settings but has plenty of room to grow. Check collar size frequently on growing puppies. Have fun with all the available colors!
Identification Tag
Once you have your furry friend, you want to ensure it has a way back to you if lost. Dog tags come in several different shapes and colors. Make sure the material is durable and readable. I would highly suggest that you include some contact information, like a phone number and/or an address.
Nylon Dog Leash
Your dog will need plenty of exercise to keep healthy and out of trouble. Dog leashes are available in a variety of fabrics, widths, and lengths. Selecting a particular leash for your puppy is based on your preference and budget. The most important factor is that the weight of the leash should correspond with the size of your dog. For example, a larger dog might require a heavier, sturdier leash. While there are also retractable dog leash options, I recommend starting with a standard dog leash when training for better control.
Dog Harness
A dog harness helps with control and safety issues. A harness can give you more control with your dog when you are out and about. You will want to find one that has an adjustable neck and chest so that it is easy to put on and off. I would recommend a harness especially if your dog has neck problems since the harness disperses the pressure from one smaller area to a larger surface area. Suitable for occasions like daily walking, outdoor, training, and more.
Shock Absorbing Dog Leash
For dogs who tend to pull, the Zero Shock Leash has been designed to drastically reduce strain and pull on the dog and the owner. Utilizing a soft touch webbing and a generously-sized neoprene handle, this leash really is a pleasure to hold in your hand and is perfect for walking and jogging with your dog. It adds protection from sudden moves made by you or your dog, a need still in demand well beyond the training stage. I find the control handle near the collar to be very helpful to regain quick and secure control of your dog when required.
Leather Training Leash
These leashes are sturdy, durable and soft, made from genuine Full Grain leather and are beautifully finished. 6 foot is the standard recommended by professional dog trainers around the world. It is strong enough to handle very large dogs, but light enough that even smaller dogs will be comfortable with the weight. The high quality finished leather is water resistant, cleans easily and won’t tear at your hands like cheap nylon.
Walk Your Dog With Love Dog Harness
One of the families that got a puppy from us highly recommended this particular dog harness. Her dog hated any of the previous dog harnesses and wouldn’t cooperate. When her vet suggested she try this one, her dog now allows her to put it on and is so excited to go for a walk. This dog harness is chafe-free, easy to put on, and simple to use. It stops your dog from pulling and prevents heavy rings, sliders, and sharp areas from chafing your dog.
Dog Waste Bag Holder
Do you find yourself frenzied while preparing to head out the door with your pet knowing you’ll have to take care of any messes left behind? Now there’s one less thing to worry about with this 300 count of dog-waste bags, which comes complete with a handy black dispenser and a sturdy leash clip. To use the dispenser, simply remove the base, slip the roll of dog-waste bags inside, and reattach the base. The bags measure 13×9 inches in size and are leak-proof bags for safe, sanitary handling.The dispenser also includes a leash clip so you can attach it and always have it with you.
Exercise Pen
The metal exercise pen provides a great enclosure to keep your pet safe and secure while indoors or outside. These playpens are made of durable metal wire with a coat finish for long lasting protection against rust and the elements. When fully expanded, this provides your pet with 16 square feet of enclosed living area. It is simple to set up, with no tools required. This is a good solution if you want to give your pet more freedom to move about, play, and keep those muscles working, but don’t want them to have free rein. A properly exercised pet is a happier, healthier pet.
Absorbent Puppy Pads
Puppy pads are perfect for training your pets to piddle. This mat will protect your house from damage and dirt on the floor. Puppy training pads make dog training easier and make life happier. Theres’s a built-in attractant that your pet will fall in love with, making it preferable to do their business on the mat rather than anywhere else. Puppy training pads have odor-control so they keep your room clean and smell fresh all day. You can use the pads anywhere, like the floor, bathroom, crate, carrier, etc.
Pet Stain Remover
Your puppy will inevitably have accidents in your home. Be prepared with a pet stain remover that cleans tough spots and stains with ease. You need a product that is tough on stains but not harmful for your dog or your carpet. A spray bottle makes clean-up quick and easy. Always follow product recommendations for checking color-fastness before usingon your carpet or upholstery.
Paper Towels
Trust me when I say you’ll need these. Getting these in bulk online tend to be cheaper than the grocery store. These are perfect for cleaning up spills and accidents due to the super-absorbent sheets. Keep any surface clean and dry.

Dental health is just as important for pets as it is for people, but it’s a rare dog that likes getting his teeth brushed. This fun, versatile chew combines the functions of a treat dispenser, toothbrush, and classic fetch toy, all in one. Made from the same super-tough, puncture-resistant natural rubber as classic Kongs, its patented grooved design “squeegees” teeth and gums clean as dogs chew, helping prevent plaque and tartar buildup (not to mention bad breath). Use Kong Breath Paste inside the grooves to motivate your dog to chew and freshen his breath at the same time. Shaped like a bone, Kong dental toys have a hollow interior just made for stuffing with treats or biscuits. Extracting the contents is work that can keep dogs happy and busy for hours, helping prevent boredom, separation anxiety, and related behavior problems like barking, digging, or chewing shoes.
Kong Tugging Toy
The Kong Tugga Wubba is a fun, interactive tug and toss toy made with durable reinforced nylon and tails on both ends for twice the shaking fun. The tails make it easy to pick up, throw or tug. It is covered in durable ballistic nylon for added toughness.

Dogs are very playful and intelligent animals. Channel their energy and curiosity into something positive with trixie’s flip board. It is ideal for the intermediate canine gamer. The game rewards your pet for correctly opening the various compartments. To begin, place your dog’s favorite treats in any or all of the compartments. By correctly sliding the covers or lifting the flaps and cones, the rewards will be revealed for your dog’s enjoyment. Due to their unique design, the cones cannot be knocked over.

This product is made with a safe, high quality photo luminescent material that is both chemically and biologically inert. Use in the park, in your backyard, or anywhere there is plenty of room.
Bottle Cover Toy
It’s difficult to find a plush toy that can withstand rough play that will last for more than one day. It’s even worse to find a huge mess that your dog made by tearing apart a new toy. If you’re a dog owner and really want to find a toy that your dog loves, but that lasts more than 5 minutes, tender-tuffs are the answer you’ve been looking for!

Dental Chew
OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews combat bacterial attachment, the starting point of plaque, calculus and halitosis.

Always monitor your dog until the chew is fully consumed. Chews are intended for dogs six months of age and older.
Bully Sticks
Bully sticks are fully digestible so they make a better treat for puppies than rawhide to satisfy their need to chew. They are made of one ingredient—beef. Because bully sticks are made from tissue that is fully digestible, it is a safe alternative to antlers, which can break teeth, rawhide rolls, which can cause blockages, and cooked bones which can splinter. No growth-hormones and no cheap fillers. To prevent loose stools because of a quick change in diet, introduce slowly to avoid tummy upset.

The Dog’s Mind: Understanding Your Dog’s Behavior
How do dogs perceive the world about them? How do they see, hear, learn, relate to their owners? How large are their brains, what is their emotional makeup? Why do they suffer from stress and how can it be coped with? Over the last few years a substantial body of knowledge has been built up about the psychology of dog behavior. Combining more than twenty years of practical experience as a veterinary clinician with a personal knowledge and understanding of the latest international research, Dr. Bruce Fogle has written the most inclusive and relevant book on how the canine mind works.
