Home Gear picks Puppy essentials The gear worth having ready before a puppy walks in, and why each piece earns its place. Pulled straight from our new puppy checklist.
Crate with a divider One crate that grows with the dog from eight weeks to adult, so you buy it once. No-pull harness and leash A harness spreads the pull off the throat of a dog still learning to walk on a lead. Dogs
A teething chew toy A teething puppy will chew something. A toy costs less than your baseboards. Dogs
Washable bed Accidents happen early. A cover you can throw in the wash saves the whole bed. Dogs
Collar with an engraved ID tag A phone number on the collar is the fastest way a lost puppy gets home. Dogs
