One of the fun things about bringing home a new puppy is choosing puppy supplies! There are so many things you need, and even more that you just want, and everything looks so cute :o)
Many of the big-name pet stores carry a good range of dog food, toys, beds, collars etc., but they can tend to be a bit 'generic'.
If you happen to live out in the sticks, lack transport, are sick, disabled (or just don't feel like dragging two toddlers around Petsmart) finding pet supplies online is the answer to a prayer.
I don't have any of the above reasons for getting my puppy supplies online, but with a very busy life it's just easier and more convenient to order from the comfort of my kitchen.
Of course, there are a ton of companies selling pet supplies online, so how do you know which ones are going to come up with the goods - the internet being what it is, you can't always tell just by looking. That's why I decided to create this 'Buyers Guide to Pet Supplies Online', it takes the guesswork out of it for you, and leaves you free to spend time browsing and choosing puppy supplies, rather than trawling cyberspace for online stores.
Below this list of recommended online stores you can share your own recommendations (or warnings) and even nominate another store to be added to the list! Add your 'Rant or Rave' (or favorite store) here
Drs Foster Smith
This is one of the largest and most respected pet product retailers online.
A great selection of products for all kinds of pets, from fish to horses! Good prices, a 100% money back guarantee, mail-out catalog, lots of 'specials' and an easy to navigate website.
I usually find just about anything I need right here
.
An added bonus is the huge number of veterinarian-written articles and tips on pet care available in their Pet Health Library.

Only Natural Pet Store
For natural, organic or holistic puppy supplies (dogs, cats and kittens too!), I love this store!
It has so many great items - food, vitamins & supplements, treats, grooming products, aromatherapy, medications and much more.
Attractive website, product reviews and pet articles are all part of the package.

Healthy Hound Bakery
I love cookies, cakes, candies and all kinds of goodies.... and my dogs love their treats too!
Whether it's a special occasion, birthday, puppy shower or just because you love him - treat your pooch to one (or more) of the delicous goodies from this
dog bakery.

For Dog Trainers
If you have a working dog, and enjoy obedience, Schutzhund, police/protection training or just own a large or guardian breed, you're going to really, REALLY like this amazing site.
All the equipment you can imagine is here - training collars, leashes, harnesses, tug toys, muzzles, bite suits & sleeves.... the list goes on. The quality of these products is top notch, and the site itself is easy to navigate and full of great photos.
Even if you're not active in working your dog at a serious/competition level, if you own a large/giant breed you'll LOVE the beautiful 'big dog' collars on this website.
Hand made leather collars, studded and decorated to make your big guy (or girl) look amazing. I haven't found better collars for my Rottweilers anywhere!

There are more dog toys than Fido can wag his tail at on this website
.
All puppies love to play, and you can easily find Fido's favorites here... and some new ones too!
It's easy to find exactly the right plaything for your pooch using the 'shop by .... dog breed/size/toy brand/toy type' features, and there's also a good selection of other puppy supplies such as bowls, leashes, treats, beds and more.

I buy from these stores myself, and haven't been disappointed yet. You'll find something for everyone (and every dog, plus cats, horses, ferrets and more) here.
As I only have my personal experience to go by, I'd love feedback on your experiences with these sellers of online dog supplies - good or bad!
