Everything for bringing home a puppy: a crate and bed, walking gear, chew toys and the cleaner you'll definitely need.

best for: Crate training a growing puppy
Comes with a divider, so you can buy the adult size now and shrink the space while your puppy is small.
best for: Puppy-proofing while you work from home
A safe play zone for when you can't watch your puppy. Clip it to the crate for a bigger area.
best for: Teething puppies (low risk if it gets chewed)
A soft bolstered bed at a price that won't hurt if your puppy chews it during teething.
best for: Once your puppy is past the chewing phase
Memory foam support with a washable cover. A bed your dog can grow into.
best for: Puppies that pull on walks
The front leash clip gently turns your puppy back toward you when they pull. Great for leash training.
best for: Daily walks and hikes
Padded, adjustable and reflective, with clips on the front and back. Size up slightly for a growing puppy.
best for: Leash training
A simple 6-foot leash. Skip retractable leashes — trainers say they don't teach consistent leash manners.
best for: Every walk
Thick, leak-proof bags on easy-tear rolls. Comes with a leash dispenser.
best for: Puppies who inhale their food
Ridges make speedy eaters slow down, which helps with gulping and bloating.
best for: Easier cleaning than hard plastic feeders
Soft silicone slow feeder that CNN tested against 16 other bowls with real dogs.
best for: Teething and crate time
Softer rubber made for puppy teeth. Stuff it with kibble or peanut butter to keep them busy.
best for: Constant chewers
Textured chew that soothes sore gums and saves your shoes.
best for: Daily training sessions
Tiny, soft, low-calorie treats, so you can reward good behavior dozens of times a day.
best for: Potty-training accidents on carpet
Enzymes break down urine so your puppy doesn't smell it and go there again. Accidents will happen.
best for: Repeat accident spots
A strong enzyme formula aimed specifically at dog urine.
best for: Nervous puppies who hate clippers
A quiet, rechargeable grinder. Start using it early so your puppy gets used to it.
best for: Large breeds with thick nails
More power for thick nails and big dogs, from a trusted tool brand.
A crate with a divider, a bed, a collar or harness with an ID tag, a 6-foot leash, food and water bowls, puppy food, small training treats, chew toys, poop bags and an enzyme cleaner for accidents.
Buy the crate for your dog's expected adult size and use the divider to make it smaller for now. The space should be just big enough for your puppy to stand, turn around and lie down.
Many trainers recommend a front-clip harness for walks because it discourages pulling without pressure on the neck. Your puppy should still wear a collar with an ID tag.
Regular cleaners can leave behind odors only your dog can smell, which invites repeat accidents in the same spot. Enzyme cleaners break down the urine itself.
