Congratulations on your little puppy!
This guide is for those who need to choose equipment for a puppy that weighs a maximum of 10 kg as an adult.
We've put together a handy list of everything you'll need, as well as a range of relevant products designed to care for even the tiniest puppies, so you're well-equipped to give your new best friend the best start.
Puppy collar
When choosing a collar for a small puppy, the buckle should not be too large or too heavy. The collars we have collected here are lightweight collars with click buckles, so it can be easily put on and taken off, and expands as your small dog grows larger.

Puppy lines
For very small puppies, regular leashes are often too heavy, so it is important to choose a leash with a light carabiner and made of a light material.
Even if you choose a light leash, your dog will still be able to use the leash as an adult, as your dog will not become very heavy.
For small puppies, we recommend choosing the smallest size.

Puppy harness
Puppy harnesses should be available in very small sizes, easy to put on, and it is an advantage if they can be adjusted as the puppy grows.

Dog bag for puppies
It can be an advantage to have a bag for a small dog. It makes it easier to take it with you on the go, and the bag also becomes a "safe space" that gives your puppy security wherever you go.
If you have a very small puppy, you can put blankets in the bag.

The dog bed for the small dog
Since your dog won't grow very big, it will most likely be able to use its dog bed as an adult, so choose the dog bed you like best - often size Small will fit.

Dog toys for small puppies
It creates an incredible amount of self-confidence in your puppy when he can move the toy around himself - our tip is therefore to go for something that is completely easy.

Treats and dog food:
Feed
For a puppy of this size, we recommend Acana Puppy Small breed food.
Here, the food pieces themselves are particularly small, and the food is adapted for dogs that do not grow particularly large.

Treats
Small puppies can easily have a big appetite and crave all kinds of treats, but it can be an advantage to choose treats that can be broken into smaller pieces so that your puppy doesn't have to spend the whole day on the same treat.

Dog bowls for water and food
Choose a small bowl for food and a slightly larger bowl for water so that there is always plenty of water available for your puppy.
