Food

The fastest way to a puppy’s heart? Good food. This section has nutritious puppy kibble, high-quality treats, and supplements that help with healthy growth, soft coats, and happy tummies.

Doodles have super sensitive skin, so I avoid anything with chicken or heavy grains that can cause flare-ups. This kibble has been gentle on Cooper’s tummy and it doesn’t have that strong “fake meat” smell some dog foods have. A win for both of us.

This is such a good food topper for doodles — because if you have a doodle, you know the sensitive-skin struggle. 😅 A little pump of this Zesty Paws oil adds shine, supports skin health, and makes their kibble way more exciting.

Dogs love to inhale their food like it’s a race, which usually ends with an upset belly. This slow feeder makes them work a little for each bite, helping them eat at a healthier pace and actually digest their food.

A Kong with a little peanut butter? That’s dog entertainment for hours. Perfect for keeping busy pups focused, calm, and out of trouble.

These are the only chews I give my pup. Bully sticks help clean their teeth, keep them busy, and I don’t have to stress about splintering like with bones. Safe, simple, and doodle-approved.

I have a sensitive, allergy-ridden doodle, so paw-licking is basically his hobby. 😅 These Zesty Paws allergy bites have helped calm the itching and reduce the constant paw licking. A must if your pup struggles with seasonal or skin allergies.

I don't allow my big doodle on my bed at night, but I still want him to have a comfy place to sleep! This is a wonderful bed and has maintained it's shape very well.

This was recommended to me by my dog's groomer. I'm suprised how long my doodle stays smelling GOOD after we wash with this.

I haven't honestly used these, but they look cool and if I was brave I would do my own dog's nails. He totally gets more pedicures than I do!

If you go on any walks at all with your dog, you know the walk of shame you go through of carrying your dog's poop bag for way too long looking for a trash can.
