EVERYTHING FOR PUPPIES

THE PUPPY STARTER KIT: PUPPY TOYS, PUPPY COLLAR & MORE

Who doesn’t love puppies? They are without a doubt undeniably cute with their little puppy bellies, short snouts and yet to be coordinated limbs. But don’t get fooled by their puppy eyes just yet, the bigger the puppy, the bigger the demand. In order to keep true to our vision of sustainability, we recommend to opt for long-lasting products that could adapt as your puppy grows instead of buying multiple puppy beds or puppy collars as they outgrow each phase. Don’t fret: a puppy don’t need that many things. Here’s a list of our recommended products that lasts a lifetime to shower your first new puppy with as they move into their new forever home.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PUPPY BOWL

A dog bowl for water should regularly re-filled with with fresh water at least twice a day and easily reachable, especially for a small breed puppy. This should be the first thing that the puppy should get as soon as they arrive at your home.
For every mealtime (puppies usually get more feeds a day than the usual adult dog) a separate feeding bowl is recommended. Especially during this crucial puppy training time, a routine is the number one priority, therefore we recommend a lightweight and simple dog bowl that are stable yet not easily destructible by puppies’ shark teeth.

PRODUCTS THAT GROW - TOGETHER WITH THE PUPPY: PUPPY COLLAR AND PUPPY LEASH

Especially for training sessions outside of the house, are a puppy collar or if preferred, puppy harness and a respective puppy leash necessary. As most streets and parks are leash-only, your puppy should wear something that is lightweight and comfortable for their small puppy body. We recommending opting for an adjustable dog collar that can grow with the puppy as they develop into an adult dog. The puppy collar should be adjustable step by step to mimic the growth of the puppy’s body. A lightweight dog leash should be easy to hold in your hands and detailed with dainty metal elements to ensure that the puppy is not unnecessarily stressed from the carabiner.

SLEEPING ON CLOUD7: THE PUPPY BED

Puppies and adolescent dogs sleep more often than adult dogs and can sleep up to 18 hours a day. A puppy bed must therefore be relaxing and supportive on the joints to promote the regeneration of energy to build important muscles and bones. A comfortable dog bed offer a young puppy a secluded place away from all of the excitement of the world and simultaneously a place to settle down. Similarly to a bolster dog bed, to create a sense of extra security, the sides of a puppy bed can be higher than a normal dog pillow. The dog bed covers should also be robust enough to withstand the puppy teething phase. Although, however durable a dog bed can be, a puppy’s set of pointy sharp teeth may still be able to puncture a few holes in the toughest materials.

DOG TOYS TO TIRE OUT AND SUPPORT BONDING

Once a tired out puppy has its nap, the next burst of energy is just around the corner. A short walk or an indoor play is a great way to tire out an energized ball of fur. For plays, we recommend a plush dog toy to start with, whether to play fetch with or a round of tug of war — as it helps target certain muscles that are not regularly in use such as the jaw and hind legs and simultaneously supports bonding between the owner and puppy.

THE PUPPY BAG FOR NAP BREAKS ON-THE-GO

A comfortable and easily portable dog bag can come in handy if the puppy should ever get tired during an exciting day out. As a general rule of thumb for dog owners, a puppy should walk on its own only for 5 minutes for every month of age. A dog carrier is also useful for training patience and settling down at restaurants, hotels, trains and everywhere else. It’s a great alternative to providing a comfort zone and a familiar place in new and unfamiliar situations.
Best part of it? Small dogs up to 10 kg will love its washable puppy bag for a lifetime.

GROOMING PUPPIES: DOG SHAMPOO, DOG BATHROBE

The first bath for a puppy after arriving at their new home won’t be the only time they spend in the bathtub, especially for a highly adventurous puppy that might like to jump in a puddle or two. For dog bath days we recommend a mild dog shampoo made with natural ingredients to not irritate their puppy fur. Straight out of the bathtub and in the bathrobe: a dog bathrobe helps not only dry a puppy quickly but also prevents them from catching a cold whilst protecting the home furniture from getting any water droplets. In order to maintain a healthy PH-value of the dog skin and fur, refrain from bathing a puppy too often. Should some dirt get entangled in the fur, a simple dog brush can usually get the job done and lend the fur a beautiful shine.
