Best For Puppies & Adult Dogs
ECO-88 Pet Stain & Odor Remover
This is the best pet stain remover on the planet. I will not use anything else. It gets out urine, feces, vomit and blood. You spray it on and walk away. No scrubbing! It got out 5 year old urine stains that I had previously treated with other urine stain removers.
This crate has 2 doors, tray, ground protection roller feet and a divider panel. Get the size that will fit your puppy when they are an adult and use the divider panel to allow them to grow into it.
3-in-1 Petsafe Harness
This harness has 3 functions. 1) Clip in the back for safe, no harm walking. 2) Clip in the front to help train puppy not to pull. 3) Seat belt attachment. There are 3 colors: Black, Teal, and Plum. This harness runs big. Make sure to measure your puppy and use the size chart. Most puppies under 25lbs will wear an x-small.
Slowton Dog Seatbelt around Headrest
This is a package of 2 Seat belts that go around the headrest of your car. It has an adjustable length with a bungee connection. It is used to connect to a harness that clips on the back of your puppy (see 3-in-1 Petsafe Harness). It can also be used as a short leash if you need to take your dog out of the car and you forgot to bring a leash.

Bully Sticks
There are a lot of options for bully sticks. They come in several sizes and thicknesses. They smell really bad so look for the low/no odor options. These are Chew-e & Tasty 6 inch, Free-Range, Grass-Fed and Odor Free.
Good for teething puppies and bored teenage dogs. I’ve never seen a dog turn down a bully stick.
Type: Natural
Value: High
Hardness: Soft after being chewed
Digestibility: High
Chew time: 30min-2hrs

Beef Kneecaps
This chew is mainly beef cartilage so it doesn’t splinter. However, they are super messy at first so give them to your dog outside or on a towel. They are considered long-lasting. It can take slow chewers days or weeks to completely chew this all the way down.
Good for dogs with hip and joint problems. Pick up and throw away when it’s small enough to be swallowed.
Type: Natural
Value: High
Hardness: Medium
Digestibility: Medium
Chew time: 1hr-2wks

Himalayan (Yak Cheese) Chew
This chew stick is very hard and not recommended for puppies. It’s non-staining, odor free, low-fat, all natural and even more digestible than a bully stick. They don’t smell or taste as good as a real bone, so some dogs don’t like them as much. I find the bacon flavor most popular. This pack has 4 flavors to sample.
Type: Natural
Value: Medium
Hardness: Extremely Hard
Digestibility: High
Chew time: 30min-4hrs

Ziwi Deer Shank – Dog Bone Chew – Wrapped in Beef Esophagus
This is a 2 for 1 bone and chew. The shank bone is wrapped in a beef esophagus over the top for added flavor and nutrition. Your dog will love chewing the esophagus off the bone and then the bone is left over for casual gnawing enjoyment. The ½ shank is good for small and medium sized dogs. The full shank is really a favorite for all size dogs. No bones are too big for small dogs.
Type: Natural
Value: High
Hardness: Extremely Hard
Digestibility: Esophagus only
Chew time: 30min-Forever
Good for Adult Dogs

Benebone Maple Stick Real Wood Durable Chew
These are good for vigorous chewers. Casual chewers will probably not like this one. It is hard enough to satisfy the need to chew and soft enough to not break your dog’s teeth.
Comes in maple or bacon flavor. I like it because it’s made from maple wood and not plastic so it’s safe even if they manage to swallow tiny pieces.
Type: Wood
Value: Low
Hardness: Hard as Maple
Digestibility: Not digested
Chew time: as long as interested
Good for Adult Dogs
Whimzee Daily Puppy Dental Chew
This is great as a daily chew stick for teething puppies. It’s the only dental chew stick that is made with extra calcium for puppies. These really help when puppies are mouthy and want to chew everything. They are less expensive than bully sticks and can be given daily. They come in two sizes that are good for puppies of every breed.
Type: Dental
