1. A Kong toy that will keep your pup busy for hours. I don't feel bad leaving my puppy home alone when I go to work because I know he's thoroughly entertained with the Kong.

Amazon / Via amazon.com, @kongcompany / Via instagram.com

Promising review: "The invention of the Kong is maybe one of my favorites (second to air-conditioning), and I know my dog agrees... He gets SO excited when he sees a Kong come out of the freezer that he runs full speed into his kennel and waits for me. The Kong keeps him occupied for HOURS... A stuffed Kong can prevent so many behavioral issues like destructive chewing or excessive vocalization from boredom or anxiety. Also, Kongs are without a doubt the most durable toy on the market. They last ages and ages." —K. Kelley

2. A set of super-durable and bouncy Chuckit! balls that'll make playing fetch more fun.

Amazon / Via amazon.com

Promising review: "The ball is lightweight, unlike other indestructible balls that are often of heavier weight. The ball is orange and easy to locate in the grass, and it has a lot of bounce to it. It floats in water, and best of all, it has stood up to the teeth of a dog that seems more focused on destroying the ball than actually playing with it." —The Flying Penguin

Get it from Amazon (available in S–2XL and one- and two-packs) for $4.95+ or Chewy (available in small and medium two-packs) for $7.95.

3. An indestructible Tuffy dog toy that even the most aggressive chewers won't be able to tear apart.

Amazon / Via amazon.com

Promising review: "I have an 8-month-old puppy who is a VERY heavy chewer. These Tuffy Gear Rings are the only plush toy that last longer than a week in our house. As a matter of fact, the original one we bought her, which is a little too small for her now, is still in very good shape and miraculously still has the stuffing intact. HIGHLY recommend these rings for heavy chewers!" —Dena Towning

Available in four colors. Get it from Amazon for $16.70 or on Chewy for $13.36.

4. A comfy mesh harness that will prevent your doggo from pulling when you take him on walks. It's machine-washable and adjustable, so it'll fit your puppy as they grow to full size.

5. A collapsable bowl so you can give your dog food or water on the go.

Amazon / Via amazon.com

Promising review: "We bought these to use in our camper for our two small dogs (Chihuahua and mini pinscher). Our camper is small, so space is at a premium. I have been trying to buy as many collapsible and space saving items as possible and these bowls were perfect. When needed, just pop them open and fill them up and we have two well-hydrated happy dogs! When leaving the campsite, we dry them out and fold them down and stow them away as they take up very little room! Great item!" —MB4

Get a set of two on Amazon for $5.99.

6. A bag of SmartBones dog treats to show your pup that he's been a very good boy.

Amazon / Via amazon.com, @smartbonechews via Instagram / Via instagram.com

Promising review: "We have been getting these for quite some time for our black lab. He eats rawhide too quickly and ends up regurgitating it all over the floor. So, on the advice of our vet, we tried something else. We tried these after many other products. These are gone as quickly as rawhide (with my dog, that's 10 minutes...TOPS!), but he doesn't have the digestive issues. The fact that they chew up similar to rawhide is a big plus, since I don't like it when he can't finish it in one sitting — that's just a yucky mess lying around on the floor.

I highly recommend these SmartBones for anyone whose dog can't digest rawhide well." —danaz

Promising review: "My dog has really sensitive skin and is prone to getting hot spots especially in the warmer months. I've used a lot of other topical treatments including, shampoos, rinses, creams, and even tried multiple dietary supplements, etc., and nothing works better than these pads." —JY

I finally went online for a paw protector....It worked like a dream. The snow and ice melt drops off her pads, and most of the time her paws don't even pick up the ice melt crystals.
