We are getting our puppy in September so are acquiring all the necessary bits and pieces now in preparation.
We've gone with the Vetbed option and I've bought a nice soft blanket as well, but it says 'Safety Advice: Do not leave young puppies or dogs that are inclined to chew unattended with this product' and bedding seems to be like this generally. Is this just a disclaimer although they really expect you to leave it in there with the puppy? Everything is potentially a chew risk so if you were completely strict about that the puppy wouldn't have anything in the crate! Obviously there are a lot of toys where it's easy to see that it could be a choking hazard, for example if a squeaker could be ripped out. But I'm finding it hard to know where to draw the line on the other things.
Is there some type of safe toy (eg like a Kong material, but not for food) that you can leave in the crate with it unattended so that if the puppy has a chewing desire it goes for that particular thing?
