The best gifts for a new puppy are the everyday things they need from day one: a collar with their name on it, a comfortable leash, a treat dispenser for training, and poop bags for the first walks. Pick gear that adjusts as the puppy grows and is easy to clean, because puppies get messy.
A collar is the one thing every puppy needs, and spelling out the new name in silicone charms makes it personal. It's waterproof and adjusts as the puppy grows, and the charms move to a bigger collar later.
Waterproof and dirt- and odor-resistant, so it rinses clean after muddy walks
Adjustable fit with a safe-release buckle
Silicone name charms fit every collar size
Sizes: Small 10–14", Medium 13–18", Large 16–23"
Good to know: If the puppy is very small, the Original collar starts at 8". One customer notes that names longer than about 6 letters may not fit the Small size.

“I ordered this collar and the charms for my new puppy, and I absolutely love it! … My puppy looks so cute in it, it’s great quality, and washes off so easily.”
Jayden H., review of the Personalized Waterproof Dog Collar with Charms
A 5ft leash is the right length for teaching a puppy to walk nicely. The built-in poop bag holder means new owners aren't carrying a used bag for the rest of the walk.
Waterproof and odor-resistant, so it can go in the lake and come out fine
Padded handle that's easy on the hands
Built-in holder for used poop bags
Easy-clip system to shorten the leash or secure your dog

“Super stinkin cute! I get compliments every time I use it”
Sofia O., review of the Personalized Waterproof Dog Leash with Charms
Training is most of puppyhood. Being able to reward with one hand, while the other holds the leash, makes it much easier to reward at the right moment.
Squeeze to release a treat with one hand

Fits in a hand or pocket

“I got a new puppy and is in training mode! … I love it, works very well and convenient!”
Teri T., review of the Silicone Dog Treat Dispenser
A new puppy goes outside many times a day. Collars, leashes, treats and poop bags get used constantly, so a good one is appreciated far more than another toy.

Choose gear that grows with the puppy
Puppies outgrow things fast. Adjustable collars and charms that move to a bigger collar later stretch the gift further.

Easy to clean matters
Puppies get muddy, wet and sticky. Waterproof, wipe-clean materials and dishwasher-safe silicone keep the gear looking new.

Help with training
The first months are all about training. A treat dispenser that works with one hand makes rewarding good behavior on walks much easier.
Questions about puppy gifts
What should I buy for a new puppy?
Start with the basics a puppy uses every day: a collar with an ID or name, a leash, poop bags, and treats for training. A water bottle for walks and a frozen treat bowl for crate time are useful next steps.
What size collar does a puppy need?
Measure around the puppy's neck and add about two fingers of room. Our Original Waterproof Dog Collar starts at 8 inches, and every size adjusts, so check the fit every few weeks while the puppy grows.
Is a personalized collar a good puppy gift?
Yes. It's something the owner uses every day, and the silicone name charms can move to a bigger collar when the puppy outgrows the first one.
What's a good puppy gift if I don't know the puppy's size?
Choose something that isn't sized: the treat dispenser, a water bottle, the poop bag dispenser, the frozen treat bowl, or the Dog Walking Essentials Set.
