Are you thinking of getting a new puppy to bring into your home?
They bring tons of joy, smiles, and adventures!
But be sure to get some items that won’t drain the budget!
I’m sure you’ve read about Tucker and his antics from my other post:
https://samthesaver.com/tucker-approved-industructible-dog-toys/
He loves to chew through his toys and my budget!
Since I covered toys in the other post above, I’ll skip those here for now.
So building off of that post I thought I would come up with more items that have stood the test of time and Tucker, especially from when he was a puppy!
If these items are what you are looking for, feel free to click the links below to order on Amazon!
1. Large Dog Crate
Large Dog Crate | MidWest iCrate Double Door Folding Metal Dog Crate | Divider Panel, Floor Protecting Feet, Leak-Proof Dog Tray | 42L x 28W x 30H Inches, Large Dog, Black
This was great for when I was crate training Tucker! The divider was nice for when he was small, and the plastic bottom made spills easy to clean up!
Tucker Approved! – Long Lasting – 3+ years
2. Small Dog Crate
Small Dog Crate | MidWest Life Stages 24″ Folding Metal Dog Crate | Divider Panel, Floor Protecting Feet, Leak-Proof Dog Tray | 24L x 18W x 21H Inches, Small Dog Breed
So while I can’t personally review this as Tucker was too big (55lbs now), I thought I would add this here for those with small puppies. I have heard great things!
3. Dog Leash
TaoTronics Retractable Dog Leash, 16 ft Dog Walking Leash for Medium to Large Dogs up to 110lbs, Tangle Free, One Button Break & Lock, Dog Waste Dispenser and Bags included

4. Dog B

So while these don’t last long, a clean yard is nice to have! And these are so cheap for the number you get! It’s a no brainer!
Tucker Approved! – Clean Yard!
5. Dog Brush
FURminator deShedding Tool for Dogs, Large, Long Hair
This brush is beyond amazing! Yes, other brushes work well, but this gets so much more hair out with each pass! I should have gotten this day 1!
Tucker Approved! – Long Lasting – 3+ years
6. Pee Pads
AmazonBasics Pet Training and Puppy Pads, Regular – 100 Count
Now I will tell you that I bought these for Tucker in case of accidents. And while they work, they also work well as toys to be shredded! If you feel you need them
7. Dog Collar

How cool are these?! You can get anything on these, like their name and number, and never have to worry about if the crazy pup gets out again!

8. Dog T

These are essential, just like the collar above, it will save your life if your pup ever gets out!

These last forever and even look nice in the kitchen too!

10. Large Breed Dog Food
Purina Pro Plan
We swear by Purina here. It was vet recommended to us and Tucker loves it!

11. Small Breed Puppy Food

Now, Tucker hasn’t had the small breed kind, but for those who have small breed pups, Purina is your best bet!
12. Dog Shampoo
This stuff works great for Tucker! Makes him smell clean after rolling in the mud, and it is hypoallergenic and soap free!
Tucker Approved! – Clean Pup
13. Stain Remover
