What to Purchase for my Pooch?

There are some awesome stores and great websites to visit. We love Petsmart, Petco, Amazon, and even Costco! But our favorite is the easiness and prices of Chewy. We dare you to go visit their website and can almost guarantee you'll get lost in all of the amazing products for hours!

​

Petsmart and Petco have great holiday deals for those times you just need to buy your pup a Christmas ugly sweater or a random Fourth of July chew toy, Amazon has all of the basics and all of the random items you didn't think about and need delivering ASAP, Costco has the coolest comfy beds and Chewy has the best automated meal delivery for your perfect pooch. Chewy also has very regular deals. There is constantly a deal on something in the "Today's Deals" tab on their website. If you're like us and you're always shopping for the next fun item to buy your dog, you'll enjoy scrolling through Chewy's many items.

PLAY PEN

Puppies are puppies, so sometimes you gotta let them play in a certain place. This is the playpen that we use and love.

SNUGGLE PUPPY

If you've never heard of a snuggle puppy, then go check it out! They really do work!. Our Nova has all but destroyed every stuffed toy we've ever given her, but the Snuggle puppy keeps chugging along. We got it when we first got her and it helped her calm down and sleep so well.

STAIN AND ODOR REMOVER

Let's face it, your puppy will have an accident, and it's normal. But with an enzymatic cleaner, the smell and stain will come right out of your carpet, hardwood, etc. Nature's Miracle is our personal favorite. It smells amazing and the enzymes in the formula break down the proteins found in urine and fecal matter, to eliminate all smells.

SANITIZING WIPES

If you do not have some form of antibacterial sanitizing wipes, I suggest stocking up before the puppy comes because there will be messes and you'll want to sanitize surfaces before your puppy walks on it. Just like human babies, puppies are extremely susceptible to harmful bacteria. To ensure that your puppy stays healthy, it's smart to make sure that the harmful bacteria is cleaned from all walking surfaces as well as low surfaces that your puppy will touch, lick, sniff, etc.

TRAINING TREATS

As you begin training, you're going to want very small treats. We've found that our dogs have really enjoyed the Natural Balance mini rewards.

TRAINING TREATS

Our dogs have also really enjoyed the mini bites by Nutro Natural Choice, specifically the beef and hickory smoke flavor. It's good to have a high-value treat, so your pup is motivated to do what you're asking. This treat was extremely high value to our dogs.

NYLABONE CHEW PACK

Our dogs seriously can't get enough of these nylabone chews from Costco. They absolutely love them, and we are happy we purchased them! We advise getting these chews after your puppy has grown in their adult teeth and can handle these super chewers.

PUPPY NYLABONE

While your pooch is still young, we recommend something similar to this Nylabone puppy starter pack. This will be easier on their teeth and help with their strong desire to bite and chew on things.

DIAMOND NATURALS PUPPY FOOD

Diamond Naturals has great foods that are high in protein and grain-free. They are packed with probiotics to promote a healthy gut. And we all know how rough puppy diarrhea can be! Chewy has an 18lb bag for $31.99 or a 40 lb bag for $52.99 that you can have ordered on your autorenewal service. And if you have it on autorenewal, they do shave off a couple of extra bucks from the price.

NATURE'S DOMAIN PUPPY

Did you know that Kirkland's Nature's Domain is actually made by Diamond Naturals??????? Yep! It's the same stuff! Just like their Kirkland diapers are actually Huggies diapers. So if you're a frequent flyer at Costco, make it easy on yourself and grab their bag. Theirs is a 20lb bag for $34.99, so it's not necessarily cheaper, but it's one less store to drive to if you're already there.

NATURE'S LOGIC DOG FOOD

Needing something to add to your dog's food to spice it up? Is your dog getting bored with its meal? Nature's Logic is one of the top brands in dog food. We put a little on top of our dog's food as a food topper to help give other flavors to their food. Nature's Logic is also proven to help in all aspects of dogs' health. It is 100% meat, so it's a good source of protein for your pup. Its nearly $70 for a 25lb bag though, which is why we use if as a topper.

SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

We love the Burt's Bees 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. It's made with ingredients that are safe for your little puppy's skin and it leaves our pup's fur nice and soft to the touch.

HEALTH SUPPLEMENT

Our pooches get one of these chews each night to get the needed supplements for overall perfect health.

JERKY TREATS

Our dogs have always enjoyed Costco's jerky treats. This is a really good beefy snack that's high in protein and a high-value treat!

BEDDING

There are so many great beds, but we love the versatility that this one provides. Our dogs love these in their crates for bedtime, but we can pull it out easy and put it anywhere else in the house

NATURAL NUBZ DOG CHEWS

Our dogs can't get enough of the nylabone natural nubz chews. They get a half of one in the morning as their morning snack or small breakfast and they love it. They can't wait to go outside and do their business because they know once they come back in they get their snack.

ROUND DOG BED

We keep one of these Costco beds out in the living room for our dogs to share and they love it. It's their favorite to lounge and sprawl on.

ELEVATED DOG BED

We keep a few of these in our backyard and take them with us camping and our dogs love them so much.

DENTASTIX

We love this three-pack of multiple flavors and so do our dogs.

KONG ULTRA CRATE

If you're going to be crate training (and we recommend that you do!), we suggest purchasing the Kong two-door crate. Not only is the metal thicker and easier to handle and set up, but having two doors is a life-saver. You will not regret this purchase!

TRAINING HEAD LEAD

If you're needing better control of your dog's head to better train your dog on walking, we recommend this lead. It is the best by far, giving you the help you need.

KONG COMFORT DOG LEASH

This leash is by far the best. It comes with an extra handle near your dog's head for extra control if you need it. It is a thick material and doesn't fall apart fast like a ton of other leashes do. It's worth it to get this one from the start.

ARCADIA TRAIL LEASH

We only have good things to say about Arcadia Trail. We love their leashes and collars. We love that they have this leash that is thick, well-made, and matches the collars that we have on our dogs.

KONG COLLAR

Just like with our leashes, we've learned well-made is the way to go and Kong is always one of the top brands.

ARCADIA TRAIL ROPE COLLAR

We love the quality of the collars from Arcadia Trail, just like their leashes.

POODLE PET DEMATTING FUR RAKE COMB

Doodles will gett matted, it's just gonna happen, especially under your pups collar where it rubs against the fur. You'll need the tools to deal with it. This comb has blades to cut the matting out easily and safely. If you are able to handle small matting sections as they pop up, they won't get worse and your doodle won't have to be shaved to manage the mats.

CHRIS CHRISTENSEN PROFESSIONAL SLICKER BRUSH

This is THE. BEST. SLICKER. BRUSH. By far. It has world renowned fame and is used by just about every single groomer out there. Remember: daily (or every other day) brushing prevents matting!

SHAMPOO BATH BRUSH

We love that these brushes help us bathe our dogs really well and help that shampoo and conditioner get down to the skin to clean, sanitize, and moisturize.

KONG TREAT DISPENSER

The Kong treat-dispensing chew toys are easy and highly recommended as they work well to keep your pup entertained and happy. When you get the small puppy size, they come in the two colors of pink and blue.

POODLE SLICKER BRUSH

Not everyone can afford a $75 slicker brush, so any slicker brush will work. The key to doodle grooming is daily repetition.

THE DOODLE BRUSH

This has its name for a reason. It is meant perfectly for doodle owners, and is specifically designed for doodle coats.

DOG GROOMING CLIPPERS

If you'd like to learn how to groom a doodle yourself, invest in some good clippers!

DOG GROOMING ELEVATED TABLE

If you happen to really enjoy grooming your doodle by yourself, it is definitely worth investing in your own grooming table.

GROOMING SCISSORS KIT

Don't forget to buy a scissors kit to get the purfect shape for your doodles coat!

PET HAIR FORCE DRYER

Dogs have lots of hair and fur, so it's worth investing in a fast air dryer meant for their thick coats.

NAIL CLIPPERS

Remember to invest in some good clippers. I find these give me the best control, so I'm not cutting too far. I love how sharp they are. If your clippers are too dull, it wont cut properly and you'll more than likely cut too far on accident.

Remember that your pet may be different and need other products or items for their specific needs. We've just found that our dogs have really enjoyed these things, or some of these items have helped us feel like the best dog parents we can be, by helping us give our pets the best care. Getting some to most of these items before you get your puppy will help ease the stress when your little one does arrive. It helps give you the time to soak in all those puppy cuddles, wet kisses, and puppy breath without having to worry about everything else.
