Labradoodle Supplies

My friends and customers often ask me about Labradoodle Supplies like what I feed my dogs, use for flea prevention, how often I groom, etc. A lot of dog ownership is a personal preference but I’m happy to share my experiences with you and tell you why I like each product. The Australian Labradoodle is bred to be a healthy dog. Responsible breeders are doing a lot of genetic testing before a dog is considered for the breeding program and one thing that is still working in the favor of Labradoodles is that they are not AKC register-able, so not able to compete in dog shows. Why is this a benefit? Breeders can focus on health, temperament, and structure. Because we are starting off with healthy dogs we just have to keep them that way.

Here are a few of the Labradoodle supplies that I like and use in my home along with links to pages on the Chewy site. This page does contain affiliate links, I only recommend tools I have personally vetted.

Food

I feed Purina Pro Plan Adult Shredded Blend Salmon & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food dog food.

Fleas & Heartworm

I use Revolution Flea treatment. I have used it for many years and started because it is tested as safe for breeding dogs. It is a topical treatment used once a month. I only recommend topical treatments, never oral! It also prevents ear mites and heartworm. I have found that this works very well for me in this area.

Supplements

As my customers all know, I give my dogs and puppies NuVet Plus. This product is designed to fill the gap between commercial dog food and what your dog needs for enhanced immune support: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes. I start the puppies on it as soon as they begin eating food and my dogs all get 1 tab per day. I also use the NuJoint Plus for my oldest boy Bear. It has made a significant difference for him.

Crate

I use crates for all of my dogs, young and old. They generally like going in and I always put treats in them. They don’t all sleep in their crates, but I often put the dogs in when I leave the house or when I have families visiting to pick out their puppy.

Brush

I use a slicker brush when I brush my dogs.

Shampoo & Conditioner

I am using Skout’s Honor Probiotic products. There are many different scents and formulas so you can select your favorite. I personally buy the gallon size because I wash a lot of dogs. I like the lavender scent a lot and I have finally found something that keeps my stinky Dreamer smelling good between grooms.

Ear Wash

I use two kinds, Skout’s Honor Probiotic ear wash is the one I have near my bathing supplies and I clean ears each time I give a bath.

Ear Wash

And I use the TrizUltra which I keep in my office along with a handful of cotton balls so that I can clean ears when I think about it or need a break from computer work. I feel that this product is more effective if your dog is prone to ear build up or on the verge of an infection.

Dental treats

My dog’s love these dental chews. I hand out 1-2 per day. True Acre Foods, All-Natural Dental Chew Sticks, Original Flavor
