Our Puppy Supply list
What Supplies do you recommend?
While we do provide a puppy starter package, below is a list of supplies that are recommend for when you take your new puppy home. Most of these products can be purchased online on amazon.com or chewy.com.
1. Purina Pro Plan Chicken and Rice or salmon and rice. We feed this brand of puppy food for several reasons. The puppies love the flavor and texture, high quality ingredients, and it is very easy on their digestive system. This brand can be hard to find. If it is unavailable online, it is typically available at a local pet store.

PROBIOTICS- These are very important and considered to be an essential component to a dogs diet.
A. Visbiome probiotics are the top of the line probiotics that veterinarians use. They are very high quality. The downside to them is that they come in capsules which can be hard to give to some dogs. The capsules can be opened and sprinkled over the food.
