Dog Supplies & Accessories
Pets N Pals of Staunton, VA offers valuable information on caring for your puppy and choosing a puppy that is right for you. We have a wide selection of puppy products! We also have crate kits already put together for your convenience when getting a new puppy.
Behavioral Needs
Puppy Training Kennel – Aids with housebreaking as puppies are denning animals by nature and want to keep the area where they eat and sleep clean. Kennels can also prevent destructive behaviors when you’re not home.
Crate Wear – Provides a den atmosphere.
Housebreaking Aids – A scented spray attracts puppies to acceptable elimination areas. We recommend Pets N Pals Housebreaking Aid
Puppy Treats – Positive reinforcement when training and creating desirable housebreaking behaviors.
Chew Toys – A puppy chews because he is teething. We recommend a minimum of 6 puppy-safe toys.
Collar and/or Harness – Necessary for identification tags, and keeps puppy under control and safe. Remove while puppy is in a carrier or kennel.
Leash – Keeps puppies under control and safe.
Deterrents or Repellents – Helps keep puppy away from specific items and areas (chewing, biting, and establishing boundaries). We recommend Pets N Pals Bitter Works.
Behavior Modification Tools – Proper use of training collars and boundary devices can speed up puppy training and discourage disruptive behavior.
Puppy Book – Training information, breed information & instructions for ongoing care.
Maintenance Needs
Shampoo – Tearless puppy shampoos are gentle enough for frequent use. Never use human shampoo–it has inappropriate pH levels and is for human hair and skin.
Cologne – These products keep your puppy smelling clean and fresh without over-bathing, which can cause dry skin and increased shedding.
Coat Conditioner/Crème Rinse – Especially important for long-haired breeds, these products reduce matting and tangles.
Brush & Comb – Good brushing habits keep your puppy’s coat healthy and reduces unwanted shedding. Great socialization activity.
Shed Reducer – Food supplement to reduce shedding.
Nail Clippers & File – Start nail trimming habits early and keep nails short and smooth on a regular basis.
Styptic Powder – Will stop bleeding quickly and relieves the pain if a nail is cut too short.
Stain and Odor Remover – Enzymatically breaks down organic stains that attract the puppy back to the same areas. We recommend Pets N Pals Premium Stain and Odor Remover!
Tear Stain Remover & Ear Cleaner – Keeps eyes and ears clean to prevent infection and stains.
Flea & Tick Product – Prevents and eliminates flea and tick outbreaks.
Housebreaking Pads – Can be used in the house training process or as an elimination sight for small dogs.
Travel Bag / Carrier – As your puppy travels with you, why not do it in style?
Environmental Needs
Water Bottle – The most sanitary option for providing water in a puppy’s kennel.
Food and Water Bowls – Containers for puppy to eat and drink from. Stainless steel and ceramic are the most durable and hardest to tip over.
Dog Bed – A comfortable place for your puppy to sleep and rest.
Identification Tag – To assist in the recovery of your pet if he is lost.
Nutritional Needs
Premium Grade Puppy Food – Ensures proper nutrition–check for quality ingredients.
Appetite Stimulant – High-calorie dietary supplement. Extremely important during environmental changes. Encourages good eating habits and combats hypoglycemia.
Canned Puppy Food – More palatable than dry food and can encourage puppies to eat. Small puppies should go home with several portions of wet food. Older dogs should eat much more dry food than soft for better stool quality and tooth health.
