Place Boards
-
Coolaroo on the go collapsible bed (same concept as above, but folds up like a camping chair. It sits a little higher off the ground, and the ‘cot’ is stretchier than the above style)(check size!)
High-Value Treats
-
Instinct raw boost mixers (level 2; these are intended to add flavor to kibble, but we like them as a light high value treat, especially in the summertime!)
-
Dr. Marty’s Nature’s Blend (level 2; these are intended to add flavor to kibble, but we like them as a light high value treat)
Toys, Chews, etc.
-
Kongs (stuff them with peanut butter, pureed pumpkin or sweet potato … lots of recipes online and some additional ides here. Then freeze them for a yummy snack that’ll keep them busy in the crate! If you have two Kongs, you can always have one ready to go by rotating them in the freezer …)
-
Benebone chew toys – wishbone, fishbone, and the dental chew styles are our faves
-
Bully Sticks (okay, they’re not our favorites, but dogs universally seem to love them. Warning: they're pretty rich and can upset stomachs.)
-
Starmark Bob-A-Lot (treat dispensing toy)
-
Squeak balls (great for redirecting mouthy puppies and to encourage reluctant walkers to move forward!)(make sure you select the size you want, but these tend to run pretty small)
-
Squeak balls, larger size than above
-
ChuckIt Air Ball (breathable)
Just for Puppies!
-
Kong wet wubba (wet & freeze for teething puppies!)
Keep 'Em Busy
-
Lick Lick pad for dogs – smear some peanut butter on it, stick it on the side of the tub, and they stay busy during bathtime (or at the vet or while you’re cleaning their ears or …)
Healthy Hound
-
Kwik Stop (we hope you’ll never need it, but if you accidentally nick a nail quick, they bleed … a LOT)
-
Car safety seat belt strap system (MUST be used with a harness!!)(We transport our student pups in crates, but if you have a longer car ride and want your dog to have more flexibility, or a crate won’t fit in your luggage-packed car, these are a great option)
-
Top Paw curry brush (for short-haired dogs without an undercoat)
