Raising a puppy is basically like living with a tiny, adorable roommate who doesn’t pay rent and occasionally bites your ankles, so you’re going to need all the help you can get.

Promising review: "My 6-week-old lab puppy absolutely loves his puppy. I put the collar that was on him when I got him on the puppy, and he snuggles it all night in his crate without a sound." —Bryan

Price: $39.95+ (originally $49.99+; available in five colors)

Promising review: "This is an excellent gate for separating our puppy from the rest of the house while he potty trains. It is strong enough to withstand a 40ish-pound Labrador who stands to greet everyone entering the house." —Mary

Price: $39.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "I have a large-breed puppy who was very bitey during teething. This product is large enough for a large breed puppy to reduce the risk of choking or swallowing. It can also be frozen for added soothing. It survived for more than 4 months through the entire teething period, while the other dental chews all broke at some point. The ring also helps puppies carry it to their favorite spot." —Ziqi

Price: $8.96+ (originally $8.99+; available in two sizes and colors)

Promising reviews: "At first, Willow wasn't quite sure about these freeze-dried beef liver treats. The texture gave her a moment of 'paws' (pun intended). But once she took that first crunchy bite, it was game over — she's absolutely hooked! Now, these treats are her go-to favorite. She'll sit, stay, and maybe even do a backflip if it means getting one. The 14-ounce tub is the perfect size to keep her tail wagging without running out too soon. If your pup needs a high-value treat to bring out their inner superstar, these are a must-try! Willow gives them two paws up!" —Kathy

"Our 5.5-month-old pup loves the freeze-dried treats. I usually cut the larger ones since use for training. So lasts even longer!" —Heidi

Promising review: "The Midwest line of dog kennels is so affordable that you may find yourself buying a few of them for your dogs! This one folds and unfolds within minutes and is extremely sturdy. We bought three Midwest crates so far for our mini dachshund puppy, Wolfgang, who quickly outgrew his first one (18 inches). Now he has been upgraded to two other Midwest 'condos' which fit his growing body comfortably. All three kennels have arrived the NEXT DAY after ordering, with FREE SHIPPING ($49 purchase), which is definitely a plus! Tip: If you have a puppy, pay attention to the sizing chart and don’t just eyeball his/her size (my mistake)... puppies grow bigger almost overnight! What’s nice about these kennels is that they come with a panel/separator so you can choose the correct one based on your dog’s anticipated full-grown size, but confine the area as the puppy grows." —SamIam4ever

Price: $25.99+ (originally $35.99+; available in eight sizes)

Promising review: "My puppy loves this Pupsicle. She never got into the leading competitor's treat-dispensing ball — it was too awkward for her to carry and hard to get all of the treat out of the ball, which is not actually shaped like a typical ball, but more like a beehive. This pupsicle has a fantastic design. My puppy can easily carry it to her bed, and she happily works on it for 20 minutes — I timed it. I can do 20 minutes of yoga while she's entertained with her pupsicle. Oh, and there is no leftover mushy treat and no mess to clean up afterward, and it's made of heavy-duty rubber that she can't destroy. Even though the instructions say that it is dishwasher safe, I plan to just hand-wash it so that it doesn't warp. It was a pricey toy, but totally worth it as it seems that she will actually enjoy using it and it will last a very long time." —Elizabeth

Price: $19.99+ (available in three sizes and three colors) 

Promising review: "This is perfect for our puppy! We have put either yogurt or peanut butter on it. It keeps her occupied for a bit and relaxes her. She absolutely loves it!" —Jody

Promising review: "I recently bought this ball for my 4-month-old Pit mix, Kobe, and he absolutely loves it! He’s a chewer, and those puppy teeth are no joke, so this was the perfect toy for him to play with all day long without having fuzz or other remnants around the house! I’m so glad we bought this product, it keeps your pup busy, entertained, and happy! Who wouldn’t want that for their furry friend?!" —Alex

Price: $8.50+ for a two-pack (originally $12.99+; available in three sizes)

Promising review: "This pizza snuffle mat is so cute and fun! This is my pup and my first-ever snuffle mat, and I am super impressed so far! The 'crust' makes a great crinkle noise; each piece of the pizza is held on by sturdy Velcro, but is easy to remove and replace. It has lots of places to stuff and hide kibble or treats, and each piece has a squeaker! My 3-month-old, 23-pound puppy loves it! I haven't yet tried to wash it, but it looks like it will hold up well." —Jessica

Promising review: "These were good prices for the quality and quantity. My puppy absolutely loves to chew on them. It has helped with her teething, as well as something to play with." —Monique

Price: $26.84 (originally $50.99; includes six pieces)

Promising review: "I have a 14-year-old Akita mix who devours every toy we have gotten him. He never stops tearing them apart, so most only last a day or two. In 14 years, we have bought four large Kongs, which he gets nightly. That is a record none can beat. Plus, no nylon shards in your dog's gut." —Kathy

Price: $7.96+ (originally $8.99+; available in six sizes)

Promising review: "With three dogs running around, this camera is a lifesaver! I can check who’s barking or making a mess even when I’m out. The app is easy to use, the sound is clear, and the motion detection works fast. Definitely a must-have for fur parents with many pets." —Astrea

Promising review: "This was ordered in April 2022 when we first got our puppy. He was 8 weeks old. He will be 2 years old in March of this year. It is the ONLY toy that's lasted this long, and it's his favorite! He has chewed up every other toy, even Kong-brand toys. Usually, within hours of getting a new toy, it's ruined. Not this one, though! He is a Frenchie/bully mix and can mess up some toys! So happy this one lasted this long! We have to get another one ASAP!" —Shannon

Price: $7.96+ (originally $8.99+; available in two sizes)

Promising review: "I can’t say enough good things about this product. It just makes training a puppy so much less stressful, and keeps your house from smelling like you’re raising a puppy!" —Debora

Price: $13.57+ (originally $15.99+; available in two sizes)

Promising review: "My 12-week-old puppy was eating 2/3 cup puppy kibble in 30 seconds flat. This slow feeder has improved things. We are getting about 2.5–3 minutes per meal. Love it! And it’s cute." —Mackensey

Price: $7.82+ (originally $8.47+; available in two sizes)

Promising review: "I'm about to be a first-time fur dad, and this gate was a heaven-sent for my puppy-proofing extravaganza. My anxiety about creating a confined space alleviated the moment I started reading the instructions. Attention to detail is A+++. The gate itself is extremely easy to set up and customize. It's metal, so no need to worry about chewing accidents. I needed one permanent gate with a door for the kitchen area and one flexible one to block the entrance while I'm out. Not only did I reach my goal, but I also ended up with one extra panel and used that to block the electric plugs and cables behind the TV. The door itself is also designed pretty smartly. Swing direction can be customized. It stays open all the way if it's been pushed back, and it closes on its own otherwise. There are two notches at the bottom of the door that are useful when you don't want to fully lock the door but still want to close it. It's a well-thought-out, beautifully constructed product. You can feel the love, and it's for sure was designed by dog lovers." —hazzybear 

Price: $79.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "These are the best puppy pads out there. They may cost a little more, but they are well worth it. They absorb a lot and hold in order." –Kimberly

Price: $7.49+ (available in nine counts)

Promising review: "These have been great to protect our floor with our new puppy. We put it at the bottom of the exercise pen and can rewash and swap them out regularly since there are 2. So handy!!" —Kathleen

Price: $17.99+ (originally $20.99+; available in five sizes and various packs)

Promising review: "I just got a puppy, not trying to train him, being in apt fourth floor and being a senior, not always so quick to get him out...this is perfect! I read about all the reviews, as I do on most of the things I purchase here. Some were good, and a few were bad, so I took a chance. I will be ordering another if something should happen to this. He loves it! He wants to go out, jump, and play; he won't go unless you're out there for over 30 mins. As soon as you come in, he runs straight to the grass pad and goes, go figure. It's odorless. I totally recommend this product. Great for those extreme heat, air quality, rainy, snowy, or cold days in Ohio. Give 5+ like 100% on this product. Totally recommend this item." —Bonita

Promising review: "We have a new puppy that we are training, and this is the most convenient pouch! I love that you can clip it to your belt, strap it around your waist, or wear it as a crossbody. The bag has metal hinges (covered by fabric) that can either stay open or close very quickly before the puppy gets their head in the bag." —Torrie

Price: $17.99 (originally $21.99+; available in three colors)

Promising review: "Got these for our puppy last year. Our older dog would paw the door to tell us he wanted to go out, and this helped the puppy learn the same trick. When my boyfriend got a new dog this year, I bought these for his house, and my dog taught the puppy the trick when I brought her over for play dates." —Jillian

Price: $8.99+ (available in eight colors)

Promising review: "This gadget works great. (Could stand to have less obnoxious ringtones...but it'll do the trick. ) Puppy caught on within a couple of hours. No more accidents in the house. Be aware that it will quickly become a puppy game where the puppy calls the shots and manipulates the humans! But if you don't fall for the fake-outs...that game gets old within a few days, and pup only uses this doorbell for the intended purpose. I've only had this gadget for a week, so I can't speak to the durability. But so far, it works great, and it took maybe 3 minutes to install. I'd recommend to others." —Frankie

Price: $29.99+ (originally $34.99+; available in packs of one or two)

Promising review: "Our new pup is a baby alligator, and he loves the N bone teething rings. He has a passion for chewing and biting. Now, when I open the Ziplock bag, he is right by my side. I am always with him when he has a chew ring. I feel better with the circular shape, and there isn’t a thick trunk-like piece to get stuck in his throat. So until we get through this teething business, I will be buying more of the teething rings." —Mary

Price: $4.84+ for a three-pack (originally $6.25+; available in four flavors and various packs)

Promising review: "Ordered this quickly for my puppy. When I received it, I thought, 'No way my puppy will like this bougie stuff,' but she loves to play with and chew all of the things. Easy, quick package to pick up for your new baby." —Eva

Promising review: "My chihuahua puppy loves these! He is 9 months old now. He started enjoying these around the 5/6 months mark. He still gets one a day!" —Natalie

Price: $9.87+ (originally $10.99+; available in two sizes and as a pack of two)

Promising review: "First off, anything I've ever bought from Chewy has always been beautifully put together for my dogs. The Voyager Step-in Harness, I bought for my puppy, Pita...He's already close to outgrowing it, and I'll end up right back at Chewy for the next growth phase. I leave it on him from the moment I first walk in the morning ’til the last walk I take with my dogs at night; it stays on him all day with no irritation, then it's off ’til the next morning. Easy to put on, strong Velcro and buckle, it's breathable, and easy to put on him...I purchased blue for him, and I just bought the red one and leash for my friends who just got a new puppy! They love it also. All of my supplies for my older dog, Clancy, and the puppy come from Chewy, from food to toys to pee pads. Love you, this company, and product!" —Bear

Price: $14.99 (available in seven sizes and 20 colors)

Promising review: "We bought this for our puppy as an alternative to expensive bully sticks. Our pup loves them!" —Elena
