Hellooooo!
So, we are getting ready to bring home our puppy in a week and a half, and I find myself wondering if we have the right stuff/enough stuff for him when he comes home. I have read the surviving puppyhood sticky above and have searched the Internet for advice, buying many of the things on the google list "25 best things for puppy" or some such article. We have a couple of kongs, we bought a snuggle puppy that has the heartbeat and hand warming thing you put inside that we left at the breeder's so they could rub it on mom and the litter mates, we have a few other plush squeaky toys like the squirrels in a log toy and the kong Marvin the moose toy, we got a kong ball with rope toy, some peanut butter non toxic dog bubbles, an IQ treat ball so he has to work and play to get some of his meals, and a Nylabone which I'm not really sure whether or not we should give puppy due to bad reviews.
But I thought I'd ask, what was the one thing (or more!) that you or your dog couldn't have lived without during puppyhood? Or items you recommend to keep him happy/busy/etc.? (Toys OR otherwise!)
Oh! And any recommendations for chews for puppies? Which are the best? Rawhide, bullysticks, etc etc? Any particular brands?
Thanks
