1. We recommend a good quality stainless steel bowl. They are easy to keep sanitary and many can be put right in the dishwasher. Never let your poodle eat or drink from an elevated dish. It has been linked to causing bloat. Flat on the floor is best.
Please see below for a detailed description of each item.

2. This is a personal choice. There are a lot of good choices out there, from kibble to wet to raw and more. We feed our canine friends a variety of the aforementioned, in hopes of providing a balanced diet. We understand everyone has a different reason for choosing the diet they prefer for their family, however, we highly recommend consulting your vet and listening to their advice.
3. Collars are a fun way to let your dog's personality shine. There are so many fun and different types of collars to choose from. Just make sure you get one big enough for your pup to grow in to.
Tags come in all different styles too. Make sure you have your up to date info on your tag in case your dog ever gets lost. Even if your dog is chipped, it's easier and less traumatic for the dog, if a neighbor is able to give you a call than the poor pup having to be taken to the pound or vet to have the chip read. I have a neighbor that keeps an airtag on her cat's collar so she can find her anytime.

4. Leashes are also a personal choice. We recommend trying several different kinds and seeing what you like. More so than that have plenty on hand! You'll want to have one in your car, by the door-lots of places. They always seem to get lost and you don't want to miss your evening walk because you can't find the leash!
5. A crate with a divider is a must when we have a puppy. It is a place the pup can go when they need down time-a place they feel is their very own. And it is very beneficial while they are still potty training. See our post about crate training for more information on this.
6. The bottom of the crate is usually hard plastic, so a blanket or pad is nice to have. In the beginning, more than one or something that is easy to clean (like a blanket) in case their is an accident is a good idea. Always watch for anything that is chewed up and could cause choking hazards and immediately take it away.
7. Puppy safe toys are important. This gives them something to do so they aren't bored. It also lets them know what is acceptable to chew on so they aren't destroying your cords, furniture and other things. Please remember that even if an item is listed as safe for animals or puppies, over time they can break down. So always keep an eye on your pet and don't let them use an item if it is starting to wear down.
8. Gates and fences are important as the pup is learning respect for your home. We only allow access to limited parts of our home until they have proven they can be respectful-not chew things up, not potty etc. Then we make the area bigger and bigger until they are capable of roaming the entire house respectfully.
