This is not professional/ medical advice. These are all based on my personal experience. I’m not a paid sponsor for any of these items. I have included reviews where appropriate.

Treats and Edible Chew Items

Bully Sticks- WOOF Bully Sticks Dog Treats, Made with Grass-Fed Beef Amazon Link
Training treats- Pupford Freeze-Dried Training Treats Amazon Link
Training treats- Pupford Soft and Chewy Training Treats Amazon Link
Bison- Tilted Barn, Miniwags, Bison Recipe Chewy Link
Chicken, Jones Natural Chews- Tender Taffy Soft Chicken Blend Jones Link
Salmon and Sweet Potato- Trader Joe’s Ebay Link (picture—go in person!)
Chicken- Trader Joe’s Jerky Sticks, Chicken Recipes Ebay Link (picture—go in person!)
Pupsicles- WOOF Pupsicle Refill Pops Amazon Link
Pupsicle Silicone Mold Amazon Link
Lick Mats Amazon Link

Notes:

Pupsicles are advertised to last 20-40 minutes…my pup finishes them in about 5 minutes. So they aren’t a very cost-effective treat for her. But if your pup is a less aggressive licker, these refills, as well as a mold so you can prepare your own homemade pops, might be perfect for you!
Lick mats have become very handy for grooming- I load them with wet dog food, freeze them and they last for a long grooming session.

“Safe” Chew Items- made of edible material, although not specifically intended for consumption

Sticks- Pupstages Dogwood Dog Chew Toy (Size Large) Amazon Link
Sticks- Pupstages Dog Chew Toy (Natural and Hemp Flavors) (Medium) Amazon Link
Nylon Chew Toys- Benebone Dog Chew Toy- puppy phase Amazon Link
Ropes- Hemp Rope Dog Toys Amazon Link

Meal Time

Notes:

My pup uses her snuffle mat for almost every meal, occasionally uses the puzzle ball or other puzzles like toilet paper rolls.
Similar to the lick mats, the West Paw Toppl toy can be filled with wet food and frozen. This will provide a long licking session.

Crate

Crate- MidWest Homes for Dogs Amazon Link
Exercise pen (ex-pen)- MidWest Homes for Dogs Amazon Link
Pet Camera, Remote Controlled Security Camera Amazon Link

Notes:

I used the exercise pen for the first few nights my pup was home with me, but she quickly learned how to climb over it (don’t ask…I have no clue). But then I used the panels fully extended to prevent her from accessing things in the house, such as the bookcase and TV stand, as she learned boundaries.

Puppy Problem Solving

Pet Odor Eliminator- Angry Orange Concentrate Amazon Link
Vinegar and water (50/50 mix) in a squirt bottle

Notes:

Vinegar and water is a great natural option for cleaning puppy pee accidents on solid surfaces. I used Angry Orange for accidents on absorbable surfaces, like the rug or car seat.

Training

Treat pouch, Mighty Paw Amazon Link
Treat pouch, Lanney Amazon Link
Clicker Amazon Link
Belt with bells for potty training Amazon Link
Scent Training, Race&Herd Original Dog Scent Training Kit Amazon Link

Notes:

Both treat pouches have a main pouch and a front pouch (net pouch and zipper pocket), can either be worn over the shoulder/ across the chest or clipped around the waist like a fanny pack. Both have poop bag pouches. The Mighty Paw pouch has a magnetic opening, while the pouch has a drawstring opening.

Travel

Dog sling carrier Amazon Link
Car seat Amazon Link
Water bowl, collapsible, with carbiner for easy carrying Amazon Link

Notes:

I used the dog sling carrier during puppy socialization before my pup was fully vaccinated.

Shampoo- Wahl USA Gentle Puppy Shampoo Amazon Link
Detangling Spray- BioSilk for Dogs Amazon Link

Other Hygiene

Notes:

I do NOT endorse ear plucking. This is a discussion you should have with your veterinarian. However, if you do pluck, this stuff works really well.

Apparel and Winter Gear

Fleece Jacket, Gold Paw Series GoldPaw Link
Winter Jacket, Plaid Amazon Link
Winter Jacket, RuffWear Powder Hound Dog Jacket RuffWear Link
Winter boots- Youly, The Adventurer, All-Weather boots PetCo Link
Summer boots Amazon Link
Paw Wax- Musher's Secret Amazon Link
Post-spay body suit, BellyGuard surgery recovery suit Amazon Link

Notes:

Winter boots were an in-person purchase at PetCo, when we had a surprise snow storm and Amazon delivery wasn’t available. They fit really well, although the velcro isn’t very hearty- I’ve had to repair them by hand.

Leashes, Collars and Tethers

Notes: Bovie loves chewing leashes, and we went through several nylon leashes before I wised up and purchased chew-proof varieties, specifically for tethering in the house. For example, when she was a puppy, we trained her to stay on her place during mealtime, and she was tethered as a reminder. When we are outside eating or working, she has a 50 foot tether so she doesn’t take off down the hill or into a neighbors yard. I don’t keep her tethered for extended periods of time and she’s never unattended while tethered.
