We recommend Purina Pro Plan – it is a high-quality veterinary recommended dog food that is easily obtainable through pet stores and on Amazon. They also offer a variety of flavors in case your pup is a picky eater and wants a little variety. We feed the “Sport” and/or “Savor” varieties depending on the current needs of our pets.

A good leash and collar are essential – we like Lupine collars which are guaranteed for life even if chewed! They have a lot of fun colors and designs to choose from. We like rolled rope leashes for comfort when handling.

A kennel is a must with a new puppy. A wire frame kennel is great so your puppy can see all the action around him but it can be covered up to create a den when he needs quiet time to nap or relax. These kennels are also easy to clean with their removable trays. A memory foam bath mat makes the perfect (inexpensive) kennel pad. We recommend waiting to add a bed or pad until your puppy is past their “chew everything” phase.

Regular brushing and grooming will be essential to keep your puppy from getting matted. We recommend a good slicker style brush and metal comb to keep those curls and waves looking beautiful!

Toys, toys toys!! Your puppy needs a variety of toys to interact with. We love Kong Classic to keep them busy – they can be stuffed with treats and even peanut butter to keep your pup interested. These links are for a few other favorites of ours!
