Life’s Abundance Small and Medium Breed Puppy Food
To prevent an upset belly I want your puppy to go home on the same food it’s been eating while here with us. Life’s Abundance cannot be bought in stores. Order the biggest bag of the small and medium breed puppy food and it will ship to your home in about three days. https://lifesabundance.com/pets/puppy/puppyfoodsmmedbreed.aspx?realname=20606548&utm_source=website&utm_medium=link&utm_content=small-&-medium-breed-puppy&utm_campaign=you-may-also-like
Metal Dog Crate
Life’s Abundance Small and Medium Breed Puppy Food
Life’s Abundance Small and Medium Breed Puppy Food
You can get these about anywhere. I recommend this metal crate over a plastic or cloth one so your puppy doesn’t eat it. For mini size puppies you can get the small 24” and for the medium size dog I love the 30” or 36“.

Long Leash
Life’s Abundance Small and Medium Breed Puppy Food
Stainless Steel Bowls
I love having a 15 or 20’ long leash for your puppy. It gives them room to explore and is great for teaching them to come when called. I do NOT recommend a retractable leash. Your vet and groomer will love you if you do not visit their office with your dog on a retractable leash.

Stainless Steel Bowls
I prefer a stainless steel bowl. They are easy to keep clean, easy to sanitize in the dishwasher and not expensive. Crocks and plastic bowls are popular and cute but can get scratches in them that harbor bacteria. Get the two cup size to begin with.

Play Yard
Himalayan Cheese Chews
Himalayan Cheese Chews
This is not a must have but is the one I recommend. Play yards are nice in the instance that you want your puppy to have some freedom but not the whole run of the house. Do not waste your money on a play yard with both vertical and horizontal bars. Your puppy will use it just like a ladder and climb out This one has only vertical bars and they can’t climb out.

Bully Sticks
Himalayan Cheese Chews
Snuggle Puppy
Not all bully sticks are created equal. Some of them can be quite smelly. This brand is odor free. Bully sticks make a nice chew for your puppy/dog and I’ve found the bigger ones are your best bet. You can get a couple chew sessions out of these when you need your puppy to be occupied.

Slopped Stopper Bowl
If you are going to be bathing your dog at home much I highly recommend getting a high velocity dryer. It will cut your drying time in more than half and blow out any tangles. The Flying Pig is a well known brand but they do sell others that are cheaper.
