A List of Basic Supplies:
Nature’s Domain Puppy Food – sold at both Costco and Amazon **
One can “pate” style dog food to encourage eating. Blue Wilderness is great.
Treats should be limited to training only. A piece of American cheese or Blue Wilderness Training Bites is a good option.
Food and water bowls
I.D. Tags with the contact information for yourself and your veterinarian
A small or medium adjustable collar or harness and a 6-foot leather or nylon leash. Best to go with a cheap small one, they grow fast.
Puppy Shampoo
Brush (pin brush), comb, and nail clipper
Cleanup supplies such as a stain remover, paper towels, and deodorizing sprayChew Toys – Benebones are current favorites
A stuffed toy with a “heartbeat” is great for comfort at night
Bells For Housebreaking
An expandable indoor crate for crate training. Goldendoodles /Medium Sproodles – 36” Small Sproodles – 30” – Tractor Supply, Amazon, and Overstock.com have good prices
Optional - An exercise pen for assistance in crate training (I recommend placing the puppy in the pen in the location where you want the puppy to potty for life. When you take him outside, carry him and place him in the pen so he doesn’t wander off. Do this for a week or two, and that will become the primary potty place.
** Taste of the Wild puppy food is a great alternative for those non-Costco members. Ask for some food on Gotcha Day for transition.
