Puppy Essentials
Please always consult your vet, if your puppy isn't eating or has bowl issues, or any other worries you may have. Always supervise your tiny puppy. The items listed below are things we use and have on hand that have worked well for us, they are suggestions and a way to help new puppy owners to get a good start.
Never leave your puppy unattended, with treats, toys, collars, leashes +, always supervise! Please never leave your puppy in a room, bathroom or a none puppy proofed area.

This is a must for those crying babies!!
Playpens:
Sometimes a puppy needs a safe quiet place to rest or stay in if you are away from home. Please always keep a bowl of water and a bed in the play yard, we free feed our pups when they are young so a bowl of food is good too, don't forget a wee wee pad or a litter box with dog safe litter. NEVER use cat litter!!

We like this one the best:
Food:
Both these are good choices for your puppy,
wet food is good to keep on hand just in case if puppy gets stressed and stops eating or to use as a treat or hide medication in.
Bella bowls are our fav. They come in a veriety of colors and sizes, but most important is to have a stainless steel bowl.

If your puppy is having stool or stomach issues, this is a great product to add to their diet, firms poop up right away! We have not tried the treats yet but ordering them now, we have used the canned pumpkin and it works everytime!
Treats and Food Toppers:
These are great to use as treats when training, or as food toppers for those finicky eaters.

Supplements:
We love the solid gold products, they are natural and so good for your pups. The seaweed one has ingredients that are missing in all puppy goods that the puppy needs. We give this daily to the small tiny pups and use it as treats for others. Another big thing to add to your pups diet is coconut oil, look for that ingredient in your puppy food! If it doesnt have it. Give it to them as a treat now and then or a food topper, we like the organic unrefined costco brand, we use it to cook our food, sunscreen, lotion and we give some to our dogs from time to time.

Dental Hygiene:

Greenies and the CET dental chews are recommended by most vets, however we preffer to use natural treats without all the extra additives and ingredients, here are the ones we like
Traveling:
This water bottle is a must for traveling, parks, hikes, adventures, we love it and our dogs love it.
Kennels are also important for safe traveling with your furry baby, and important for potty training and a safe place to sleep.
Weewee pads, must have! They will go in playpens, kennels, next to doors, you can also get some reusable ones on amazon, or make some, there are some great tutorials on youtube!

Potty:
Potty pads are great. We use the disposable ones and the washable kind (we make those), but we also use litter, litter is a better alternative if you have carpet at home.

Bed:
beds come in all shapes and sizes, brands, prices, but be ware dachshunds are very good at chewing them up and taking out the stuffing, here is a bed we recommend.
Im so sad to say that I have not been able to find these beds for sale anymore, but Im keeping this here because Im sure new places make them and sell them and they really are the best. The only bed that my dogs have never chewed through.
