HONG KONG
Bringing home a new puppy is one of the most exciting moments for any Hong Kong pet parent — but between vaccinations, feeding schedules, and toilet training, it's easy to forget the everyday essentials that keep your puppy healthy, clean, and comfortable. This Puppy Essentials Guide rounds up the must-have products every new puppy owner in Hong Kong needs, from ear and eye care to crate training gear, dental chews, and premium puppy food. Whether you're preparing for a new arrival or restocking your supplies, here's everything you need in one place.
Care & Grooming Essentials
AESOP Dog Shampoo
A grooming essential inspired by Aēsop's signature botanical approach, this dog shampoo blends gentle, plant-based ingredients to cleanse without stripping your puppy's coat of natural oils. It leaves fur soft, clean, and subtly scented — a small luxury that turns bath time into a spa moment for both pet and owner.
PAW Gentle Ear Cleaner (120ml)
A weekly ear clean helps prevent wax build-up, odour, and infection — especially important for floppy-eared puppy breeds common in Hong Kong's humid climate. This gentle, alcohol-free formula uses hydrolysed oat protein and cold-pressed citrus oils to dissolve debris without irritating your puppy's sensitive ears. Simple to apply with its no-fuss applicator tip, it's a five-minute routine that pays off in long-term ear health.
HYPONIC Hypoallergenic Shampoo (Unscented, 300ml)
Perfect for puppies with sensitive skin or a tendency toward allergic reactions, this unscented formula cleanses gently without added fragrances that could trigger irritation. A safe, fuss-free choice for regular grooming, especially for breeds prone to skin sensitivities.
Urine Off – Dog & Puppy Odor and Stain Remover (16.9oz)
The travel- and household-friendly size of this trusted enzymatic cleaner, ideal for tackling toilet-training accidents as they happen. It breaks down odour and stains at the molecular level rather than masking them, helping prevent repeat accidents in the same spot.
Bio-Groom Eye Care Pads
Tear stains and eye discharge are common in puppies. These pre-moistened, gentle pads make daily eye cleaning quick and mess-free, helping to reduce staining and keep the delicate eye area free of irritants. A must-have for grooming kits and a great habit to build from puppyhood.
MaxiGuard Oral Cleansing Wipes
Dental disease is one of the most common — and most preventable — health issues in dogs. These easy-to-use wipes help reduce plaque and bacteria buildup between brushings, supporting fresh breath and healthy gums from the start. A gentle way to introduce your puppy to a lifelong oral care routine.
PAW Puppy Shampoo
Formulated specifically for delicate puppy skin, this mild, soap-free shampoo cleans and conditions without stripping natural oils. It's ideal for regular bath time, leaving your puppy's coat soft, clean, and smelling fresh — without the irritation that harsher adult formulas can cause.
Feeding & Healthcare Essentials
Frontline Plus for Small Dogs & Puppies (up to 10kg)
A trusted monthly spot-on treatment that protects against fleas, ticks, and flea eggs, Frontline Plus is a non-negotiable essential for puppies exploring the outdoors in Hong Kong. Easy to apply and fast-acting, it's a cornerstone of preventive puppy care from an early age.
Stella & Chewy's – Carnivore Crunch Turkey Recipe (3.25oz)
A freeze-dried, raw-coated kibble topper or standalone treat, this turkey recipe adds a protein-rich, minimally processed boost to mealtime. Great for encouraging picky eaters or as a high-value reward during training sessions.
VF+ Core Functional Snack Bar
A smart snack alternative to traditional puppy treats, these functional bars are designed to support everyday vitality and wellness alongside your puppy's regular diet. Convenient, individually packed portions make them easy to use for training rewards or a between-meal boost.
Stella & Chewy's Dental Delights
These grain-inclusive dental chews combine a satisfying texture for mechanical plaque removal with a tasty flavour puppies love. A great rotation option alongside daily brushing to help support oral hygiene as your puppy's adult teeth come in.
TropiClean Enticers x KONG Dental Ball Kit for Small Dogs – Smoked Beef Brisket (29.6ml)
Sized specifically for small breed puppies, this kit pairs a durable KONG rubber ball with TropiClean's flavour-infused dental gel to encourage natural chewing that helps reduce plaque and freshen breath. A playful, small-dog-friendly way to build dental care into daily routine.
Nulo Grain-Free Kibble — Alaska Pollock & Lentils (Puppy & Adult)
Nulo is a premium, US-made brand available only through selected pet shops like CityU Vet Boutique in Hong Kong. This grain-free recipe uses Alaska pollock as the leading protein alongside lentils, formulated to support lean muscle growth and steady energy for growing puppies.
Home & Training Essentials
PetKit Eversweet Max Wireless Smart Pet Drinking Fountain
Keeping puppies hydrated is easier with a fountain that encourages drinking through circulating, filtered water. The wireless design adds flexibility for placement anywhere in your home, while filtration helps keep water fresher for longer.
Dog Gone Smart Pet Crate Pad
Add comfort to crate training with a machine-washable, water-resistant pad designed to repel odours and stains. It turns a training tool into a cosy resting spot your puppy will actually want to spend time in.
Richell Easy-Clean Wee Pan with High Walls
Designed for indoor toilet training, the high-walled pan helps contain mess and is ideal for small breeds or apartment living across Hong Kong. Easy to wipe clean and pairs perfectly with wee pads for a mess-free training setup.
Monster Paws Gel Core Ultra-Thin Wee Pads
These slim, high-absorbency pads use a gel core to lock in moisture and odour, keeping floors dry during the toilet-training phase. A practical daily essential for puppies still building bladder control.
