Dewormer

This Dewormer is the absolute best product on the market when it comes to efficacy studies. The medication is effective against tapeworm, hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms. With this one tablet the pups are getting broad coverage for internal parasites. We treat once when Pups are 5-weeks of age and then again at 7-weeks as instructed by our veterinarian. Additionally, keeping a dog's teeth clean with tools like dog toothbrushes, dental water additives, dental treats, and wipes is crucial for their overall health. Starting dental care early is essential for maintaining a puppy's teeth and ensuring good oral health throughout their life.

Perfect for pups that can't get enough of the outdoors, this Flea, Heartworm, and Tick Preventative in the form of a tablet gets rid of those icky little bugs before they have a chance to lay their eggs.

Blueberry Pet Essentials Classic Collars

These Blueberry collars are just awesome! They also come in numerous colors to choose from when you want to match leashes to collars and vice versa! They are truly outstanding and at a very reasonable price. All of my dogs have on their original collar (except for the Puppies as they all started with an X Small and are now on a Regular Small) with vibrant colors that you can see past the fluffy curls. I recommend the X Small for all Puppies and then the Regular Small for the adults. I always buy one of each at the beginning so that I have the second for the day they grow out of the X Small one. Having two collars around is ALSO a great mind cue for getting in those pictures and videos while they are still Our Pups!

Blueberry Pet Essentials Classic Leashes

Just like their collars, the Blueberry leashes are awesome! And of course, with numerous colors to choose from when you want to match leashes to collars and vice versa! They are truly outstanding and at a very reasonable price. All of my dogs are still using their original leashes that realy stick out with these vibrant colors. I recommend the 5 5/8' for Our Minis and smaller, but you might want to go with the 5 3/8' for Toys and smaller.

EzyDog Drive Safety Dog Car Harness

Let's face the facts. These, Our Goldendoodles, are also Our Children, and would we shave costs and buy a knock-off toddler car seat? I would hope this would be answered with an emphatically resolute NO, NEVER!! So, let's not do this to Our Goldendoodles. You will NOT find a safer Car Harness on the market that has the same level of testing that the EzyDog Harness has with its certified Crash Test FMVSS 213 rating( Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213 specifies requirements for Child restraint systems used in motor vehicles). We use this for ALL of Our Babies and Could not recommend it more for Yours as well as Their Safety!

MidWest Homes for Pets Dog Crate

Puppies are full of energy, curiosity, and have a mind of their own — especially if left unsupervised! It is crucial to puppy proof your home to ensure a safe environment for your new puppy. Selecting the right dog beds for puppies is also important, as factors like durability, ease of cleaning, size, and design can enhance a puppy's comfort and sleeping experience. Dog and puppy owners from all over the world agree that a dog crate helps puppies develop good toilet training habits while keeping them from chewing up all your stuff when you're not around. A puppy crate is also an absolute must in the case of puppy alone time and helps ensure their safety when you're off at work or are getting some sleep. We like this crate for our Goldendoodle puppies because it's sturdy, well-made and is comfortable for our dogs. Additionally, using a house line in conjunction with a crate can provide effective training and management, aiding in obedience and creating a safe environment during house training. Setting up a comfortable and safe puppy home with the use of a dog crate is essential for new pet owners to ensure their puppy's well-being.
