Petland Scottsdale offers valuable information on caring for your puppy and choosing a puppy that is right for you. We have a wide selection of products for puppies and full grown dogs alike. From premium dog food to Advantage and Advantix, we offer everything you need to care for and even spoil your “baby.” We offer all the products you will need to meet your pet’s four basic needs.
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 Petland Housebreaking Aid
- Puppy Treats – Positive reinforcement when training and creating desirable housebreaking behaviors.

- Behavior Modification Tools – Proper use of training collars and boundary devices can speed up puppy training and discourage disruptive behavior.
Maintenance Needs

Nutritional Needs

- Appetite Stimulant – High-calorie dietary supplement. Extremely important during environmental changes. Encourages good eating habits and combats hypoglycemia. We use and recommend Petland Puppy Boost.

Environmental Needs
