Recommended Products
We know how difficult it can be for families getting ready to welcome their new furry baby into their family and knowing what supplies they might need. To make things easier, we've compiled a list of items that we use and recommend. We've organized our items using Chewy and Amazon. Please know that these are not the only places to buy these items but simply was the best way for you to see them all in the same place. We also don't require that you use these items, only making suggestions and trying to make the process as smooth as possible for our future families.

These are the two they have beed eating. We do not feed the grain free lines that have any peas or lentils in them. They are currently eating Next Level Hi-Pro Puppy.
The Bixbi freeze dried lines are all acceptable to feed. We use the freeze dried as more of a training treat but can be fed as a whole meal or a topper. We do try to stay away from the chicken flavor as doodles can be prone to chicken allergies, so to be safe just try to avoid it.

Supplement
Puppies are receiving Bernie's Perfect Poop and we strongly suggest you continue this when in your home. This considerably aids in their digestion.

Grooming
Dog Beds
Kuranda Dog Beds
Kuranda is the brand of dog bed that we use and absolutely love them! We have had other elevated beds that only lasted a few months because they've either been chewed up or stretched and sag. None of our Kuranda beds have been chewed and are so easy to clean. Plus, you can add a cushion or cover to make them even more attractive to have in the house.
Paw Dog Beds
Paw dog beds are also great and we have several different styles throughout our home for comfy areas! They have wet proof covers that are easily removed for washing purposes. We also use their waterproof blankets as couch covers and they work great.
