We feed Purina Pro Plan Performance food, which is an All-Life Stages food.

Plaque-off: My husband is a dentist so keeping ALL of our teeth in great shape is top priority! Oral health is easy to manage and it eliminates lots of inevitable pain and suffering, MONEY  (AND BAD BREATH) down the road. Along with weekly brushing we recommend this enzyme-based product that goes right into their food.

Omega-3 oil: Here's another really great one we love!

A crate with a divider included is best as it can grow with your puppy. Most of our dogs (up to 40lbs) fit comfortably in a 36” crate. Keep the area small for new puppies as if it’s too big, they’ll pee on one side and sleep on the other. The Diggs Revol is my absolute favorite (medium size) as it has added safety measures so puppies don’t get their jaw stuck in the wire.

I adore our crate covers - a blanket will to create a cozy cave, but I really love this one.

I'm a sucker for beds! I do really like our Carhart bed though. They wash easily and look nice after multiple washes!

Elevated Dog Bed: This durable, and frankly a must-have for a dog who "runs warmer". It is also fantastic at "place" training. Worth the splurge! 

Really hone your dog grooming skills with this amazing grooming table.

"Marsh Mellow" is my ALL TIME FAV!

 I always finish off with a spritz of this stuff because it smells soooo good!

“Benebone”: always a fav, dogs love them, keeps them busy and they are safe, which is a HUGE bonus in my books.

Yak milk cheese chew - another fan fav!

We love our RC Pets Collars (and leashes). They are Canadian made and cute as heck!

There are many wonderful tags, we love 2 specific brands… Silicone Tags

This crash tested car harness fits from about 4+ months. I recommend the size small for almost every single one of my dogs under 45lbs.

Every time your dog gets a bath, gets groomed, or swims (minimum of every 2 weeks) clean out his/her ears with Eco Ears to help prevent any ear infections.

To get out all those big snags!

Positive associations with the brush is very important using a Licky Mat with peanut butter, canned food, or canned pumpkin smeared on can help tremendously.

I prefer these kinds of clippers and round out the blunt edges with a dremel. I clip nails at least once a month with the older dogs, and once a week with the puppies.

If you’re brave enough to do a full grooming or even just in between face clippings at home, these are what I use! I use 2 different pair, the longer one I use on the body. Be careful, they're are SHARP!

I have owned the same pair for 13 years. I just got my second pair (same brand) as a back up! These work wonderfully!

You’ll see cheaper blades and guards for sale, but you cannot beat the quality and ease of these blades. I will list what I use and where I use them here: I use this under the ears, around the vulva/penis, armpits, and bum (just be careful not to nick the bottom).

You’ll see cheaper blades and guards for sale, but you cannot beat the quality and ease of these blades. I will list what I use and where I use them here: This is all over the body and legs.

Mind games are so important for dogs and puppies. Check out this interactive Puzzle Ball!

Slow Feeder

My favourite training treats are Arf’ul Good Chicken – we break them up into small (rice-sized) pieces and give them as training treats. Another great option is CRUMPS (mini beef trainers). They are made locally, and the dogs love them.. and only 1 ingredient! We get both the beef and chicken (chicken they like the best, I find, but variety can be nice). Another good, tasty treat is Wellness Soft Puppy Bites. 

Omega-3 oil: This is a MUST. Along with all the individuals in the household, our dogs get Omega-3 supplementation, too.

This bowl is a MUST HAVE!!! It will keep your pup’s beard clean, dry, and most of all, your floors water free! The medium size is perfect!

Looking for a cost-friendly dog crate? Look no further!

A durable and washable crate mat is recommended. There are many different kinds, so know you can find a different one that works great too!

Clearly Loved Pets has a wonderful pen (we love ours). I use this pen for times I cannot keep an eye on my puppy (shower, cooking dinner, phone call). It is wonderful and we get so many compliments on it.

WaterPik Wand: We love our bathing wand!

This is something I wished I had known about years ago. It makes grooming at home SO much easier!

For those of you that have parti colored puppies or white markings, I highly recommend using Chris Christensen’s White on White!

Plum silky is one of my favourite general shampoos and smells more like a shampoo people would use!

Bully sticks - DOGS go crazy for them! Careful when they get to end of stick - do not let them chew without supervision when they get to end of stick.

A thin leather leash is my favorite! There are multiple great brands as well as shops on Etsy selling them. Leather is really nice for training and just everyday use!

There are many wonderful tags, we love 2 specific brands… Metal Tags

 Blue-9 balance harness is my favorite harness, it doesn’t restrict movement but also has a front clip to help with walking.

If your pup ever eats something he isn’t supposed to or has softer stools than wanted, adding dry pumpkin powder (Firm Up) to their food helps tremendously. I always keep this on hand. I recommend doubling the dose on the bag.

I always recommend a good slicker brush as well as a metal comb.

You should be able to run the metal comb through their entire coat to ensure your pup doesn’t have any tangles.

We Feed TLC Whole Life DOG food to puppies and dogs of all ages. If you are a client of ours you will receive a link that will save you $5 per purchase.

Always have some Quick Stop on hand when trimming your dog's nails.

If you’re brave enough to do a full grooming or even just in between face clippings at home, these are what I use! I use 2 different pair, the shorter one I use on the face. Be careful, they're are SHARP!

You’ll see cheaper blades and guards for sale, but you cannot beat the quality and ease of these blades. I will list what I use and where I use them here: I use this on the pads of the feet, super close.

You’ll see cheaper blades and guards for sale, but you cannot beat the quality and ease of these blades. I will list what I use and where I use them here: This is the holy grail between the eyes, it’s a small area to buy a blade for, but I promise it makes the world of a difference!

Kong Toy (can put all natural peanut butter and freeze - great way to keep busy)

Interactive Treat Dispenser

Baxter and Bella is SO amazing. From before you get your puppy to adulthood, they are my go-to resource. The perfectly laid out plans and live video support for life… you cannot go wrong!
