As always, you should always consult your vet before trying new treats,foods, or supplements. Check the size of chews/toys before purchasing, and select a size appropriate for your dog. Additionally, dogs should not be left unattended with toys or chews. Dogs and puppies should always be monitored to ensure they don’t ingest large pieces of chews, or any piece of a toy. Some links are affiliate links, meaning I will receive a small kickback for your purchase. That being said it will be the same price for you either way, and these are all products I use or have used myself.
Always Monitor your dog while they chew to ensure they don’t choke, or eat any non-edible items.
This is something you’ll always want to double check with your vet. Use your best judgement – just like people, some dogs don’t do well on certain foods.
In general, I like to use my food as treats – measure out food for the day, give a little bit of breakfast in a snuffle mat, and then use the rest for training throughout the day. Whatever is left over can be given for dinner.
Food that can be used as treats
High Value Treats
For puppies, you want a variety of toys with different textures. When redirecting a puppy, you want to redirect to something that is similar to what they’re chewing on. For example, if your puppy is trying to chew your hand, you’d want to redirect to something with a similar texture/experience.

Building your Puppy Palace
You’ll want to build a place where your puppy can stay safe when you cannot monitor them, with their crate inside. The crate is used for potty training, while the play pen is where you can keep them from getting into things when you can’t monitor them.
I like the Carlson gate because you can buy extenders, if needed, and your dog cannot climb up the sides. As far as a crate, you want your dog to be able to stand up and fully turn around. You can buy a crate with a divider, so you can create more space as they grow.

I do recommend dehydrated pumpkin and probiotics for all dogs and puppies, but always double check with your vet!
*Always confirm with your vet before giving your dog any new supplements.
