It's National Puppy Day and to celebrate I rounded up the cutest puppy items because we all know man's best friend deserves the best.
Bringing home a new puppy is a learning curve for everyone so gathering these essentials (and a few toys) can make life easier. So, when you're finished puppy-proofing the house, buying all the puppy food and personalized dog bowls you will want some extras to make sure you're truly ready for your new bestie.
Puppy Supplies Starter Kit
This 12 piece of dog supplies assortment is perfect for new puppy parents. The set includes puppy toys, a dog bed blanket, some puppy training supplies, a dog grooming brush, a leash, and some accessories. Basically everything except the dog food and nail trimmer.
Figuring out what to get is overwhelming, so this kit might make it a bit easier to take care of your favorite cutie.
ESK Collection Puppy Playpen
Puppies need to play and run around, a lot. So, this playpen is perfect to let them run around without getting into too much trouble.
It is also important for puppies to socialize with other dogs, so you can organize all the cute puppy play dates you want. This is a high-quality pen that will last through all those bites and playful tugs, as well as those "oopsy-daisy" pees.
It also helps with dog crate training.
PETMAKER The Indoor Restroom Puppy Potty Trainer
Speaking of accidental releases. This indoor restroom will make puppy training easy, breezy, and not so beautiful. I know that's Covergirl. Still, potty training involves a lot of mopping and bleach, and if there is any way to make the transition easier from peeing on the couch to peeing outside, why not try it?
Just make sure you have some poop bags handy.
Pacific Pups Products
These amazing dog toys not only help your new best friend but part of the profits go to a non-profit dog rescue. So you'll be helping a lot of dogs.
The toys are perfect for tugging and pulling. Plus, there is a giraffe made of rope that's pretty adorable.
It's also perfect for dogs who are teething. The ropes help with the pain while being fun to tug with.
ZippyPaws - Skinny Peltz No Stuffing Squeaky Plush Dog Toy
Do you think that toys that are shaped like squirrels and raccoons make dogs think that all squirrels and raccoons are chew toys? Are we conditioning them into being aggressive towards smaller animals?
Either way, these toys are as cute as it gets. They are furry squeaky animals with no stuffing in case they break. I encourage you to name them something cute like Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Yes, I know those are the Rice Krispies characters.
Furbo Dog Camera
Okay, I know some of you saw this on Ellen, but it's truly amazing so I'm going to talk about it. This camera can be accessed through your phone. It lets you know when your doggy is barking alone at home, and it even lets you toss some treats from anywhere. It has two-way audio, so they can hear you and you can hear them. It's a great way to stay connected when you're away, and a good distraction if you're bored at work.

Finding the perfect bed can be hard. This donut cuddler is vegan, self-warming, and machine washable.
It is the perfect for all furry friends. It is a great start for a puppy home. They will slowly take over your whole house and you'll be glad to give it to them because of their cuteness.
Burt's Bees Shampoo for Pets
This two-in-one shampoo is basically what your ex had, except it's for dogs so it's acceptable. the shampoo and conditioner mix is made with buttermilk and linseed oil to make their fur soft and shiny.
It is all-natural and tearless, which is awesome for puppies who won't stop moving when you're trying to give them a bath.
