Getting Ready for Puppy
In order to make the transition to your home go smoother, I wanted to offer a list of items that would be helpful to have before you take your puppy home. If you plan on purchasing some of these items on Amazon we would appreciate if you used our links found on our document. They are at no additional charge to you and greatly help our breeding program!
Crate
​Crate- I recommend getting a wire crate with removable tray until your puppy is potty trained then you can splurge on a nicer crate if you’d like.
Mini doodles (25-40 pounds): 36 inches
Medium doodles (40-70 lbs): 36-42 inches
If you have room 48 inches is great because doodles like to stretch out like frogs.
I also recommend the Precision brand because it has 2 doors for additional versatility, removeable tray, and a divider to adjust the size as your puppy grows. I've also heard other brands have had their plastic trays crack and are pricey to replace.
Leash and Collar
Collar and Leash- its a great idea to get your puppy used to a collar at a young age. I recommend a 8-10" collar for 8 week old mini goldendoodles and a 10-13" collar for 8 week old mini Bernedoodles. These are a great option because they are easily adjustable, have neoprene padding, and reflective threads.
Puppy Food
Puppy Food- We recommend TLC dog food. Its what we feed our dogs and your puppy will be going home with a small bag. TLC dog food has highly concentrated meat-based proteins as the first two ingredients. Free of artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives. They are an online company and offer free shipping right to your door.
Vitamins
Vitamins- I recommend giving your puppy vitamins to help boost their immune system, support their joints, and keep them healthy. I give Nuvet to my dogs and have started to give your puppy Nuvet. i recommend ordering Nuvet before you pick up your puppy so you have it when you take your puppy home. Order access code: 288495
