Your new puppy will arrive with a simple slip collar and lead, which is adequate for their first few weeks. When their vaccinations are completed, we recommend that you take them into a pet shop in person to be fitted for a harness. All pet shop associates should be well trained in how to assist you, so ask for help. Later, when your dog has finished growing,, you can take all their measurements and find a good one online, but puppies have a variety of body types, and we just think you will do better getting started in person with a live fitting. The benefits of a harness are they distribute the stress points across the shoulders instead of at the neck, give you better control, and are much harder to get out of - which can be scary and dangerous for your puppy.

We recommend Grain Free dog food. This is hard to find at grocery stores (although there is some). We recommend this because it is healthy for your dog and will reduce the amount of waste and will make the consistency much firmer and easier to deal with. When you pick up your puppy, it will be used to Taste of the Wild puppy food that has been soaked for 10 minutes+ in warm water. Your puppy will be getting food 3 times a day. Food should be gone within about 15 minutes - if it is around for hours, you can scale back the amount per feeding. If they seem hungry or whiny and it is gone quickly, increase the quantity per feeding. Our 6 month old+ labradoodles get free fed and always have a bowl of food available. We have not had an issue with weight until they enter the geriatric zone. ALWAYS provide fresh, clean water 100% of the time. Taste of the Wild can be purchased at Amazon, Chewy.com, or Tractor Supply.
