Products I Recommend ...
When you have the right TOOLS… Life with YOUR PUPPY becomes 100% easier.
Just like with anything in life if you don’t have the right tools or the right setup.. things can be extremely difficult. I want to help you so that your first week, month and year with your new puppy goes smoothly.
I’ve ALREADY done all the research and testing so you don’t have to. I am NOT Sponsored to recommend these products.
This page is of products that I have personally purchased over the years and that I have faith in enough to recommend them to my Doodle Families.

Food Recommendations
I do NOT feed grain-free to my dogs, recent studies have linked heart conditions to grain-free food. Studies have found that taurine is an essential mineral for dogs and it is not found in a grain-free diet.

These bowls are a great way to keep your puppy from eating too fast and the plus is it gives them a brain workout also!!
Toys I use in my own home.
This is absolutely the most purchased Item I have, I keep it on my auto-ship on Chewy.com
Soggy Doggy Doormat
Keep the Rain and Mud out of your House!
This is my #1 CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT recommendations…. I have 4 of them in all sizes!
I needed something that worked and worked well. These are machine washable (also important) and catch about 70% of the water and dirt off their paws before they make it into the house. I LOVE the big ones and they’re worth every penny.. I promise.
Andis Pet Steel Grooming Comb
Dynamic Duo
I was a dog groomer for 14 years and still groom my own dogs, this is the one tool I could not do without. It's by far the most used grooming tool I have. Great for that Poodle and Doodle Hair.
MidWest iCrate Folding Metal Dog Crates
This is what I personally use for my own dogs. It is sturdy and I have never had any problems with dogs getting out. I would recommend the 36 inch, it comes with a divider that can be used when the puppy is small and is big enough to grow with your little luv.
MidWest Foldable Metal Exercise Pen
For people who work or for those people who can not take their new puppy out every 2-3 hours because they work, I do recommend they use a contained area with access to a litter box or potty area until they’re old enough to hold it for the full 8 hours in a crate. You can use either baby gates or an x-pen with a crate inside of it to contain your puppy in a small area. I like to put a plastic tarp (as seen in the picture) under the x-pen if you have carpet. I like to use a litter box with paper or pine pellets. (also shown here) I personally use the tray with a grate so if you purchase one of my puppies it will already be litter box trained. I do recommend underpads with whatever you use for a cleaner area around and for any accidental messes.

Products you will see me use with the puppies in my videos
I use these underpads to keep things clean and in case of an accidental miss
I do not recommend rawhide, they are not digestible and can kill your pet. Never feed cooked bones, for a special treat stop by your butcher and ask for a rib bone.
The following are things I keep on my subscription order on a regular basis and the things I use with my puppies.
