Below are some products we personally use or have been recommended by our Copperhead families.

Food:
We feed Diamond and Diamond Naturals to our puppies and dogs. This is available at most any feed store, online, and larger pet stores. *Not available at Walmart or similar retailers.

This is what your puppy will be used to eating when it comes home to you. This is technically an all life stages food and can be fed throughout adulthood.

This is a good adult food to wean onto as your puppy grows. If changing to an adult food we usually make that change somewhere around 9 months old. There are many other protein options available.

Do NOT feed a grain free food UNLESS you've done your research and know that it will meet all butritional needs. There are specific nutrients that must be added to grain free in order to promote a healthy heart and organs.

Crates, Pens, and Beds:

36" size crate - Cocker Spaniels, Moyen Poodles

42" size crate - Standard Poodles, Bernedoodles

A couple favorites when it comes to beds. We highly recommend waiting until your puppy is fully potty trained before introducing a more expensive bed!

An exercise pen is a great way to allow your puppy some safe freedom, especially if you work away from the home. This allows the puppy to come out of their kennel, play, potty, drink in a safe environment for both them and your home.
This brand is our favorite for inside as they are much quieter, easier to put together, and safer for floors

There are tons of washable puppy pee pads available. This one is measured to fit the above playpen.

Toys:

Kongs have been around forever and there's a reason why! There are so many different things you can fill these with to occupy your puppy. Just make sure you clean them out well (throw them in the dishwasher!).

Chews:

This is the longest lasting natural chew we've found! Plus it doesn't really stink like many natural chews. Our dogs LOVE them!

Also a favorite for our dogs!

These are great for collagen sticks, bully sticks, pizzle sticks, etc. They keep your dog from choking on the last bit of chew as well as gives them a hand hold to chew easier.

Grooming:

Longest lasting smell! There's a few different scents and formulas available. Make sure to get a 2 in 1 or shampoo and creme rinse.

Also a good shampoo we've found that smells great and helps keep those white dogs, white!

It's a good idea to use a detangler to make brushing easier and protect their coat.

Slicker brushes help keep coats from matting.

Combs will help you brush to the skin and find any mats.

If you are wanting your dog to smell better longer, be easier to brush in between baths, and be super soft....a force dryer is a must!

Best way to keep nails short! Grinders are a safer way to clip nails down without leaving a jagged edge.

Keep ears clean to avoid ear infections!

Use this if ears are becoming a bother before it escalates to a full blown infection!

Keep teeth clean!

These are a great inexpensive clipper set that work well for touch ups in between grooms.

This is the viral all in one groomer/vacuum that everyone seems to love. Makes home grooming and clean up a little easier!

Equipment:

Car seats are a great way to keep your puppy secure while it learns to ride in the car. These can be used for cocker spaniels and smaller poodles through adulthood as well.

Dog seat belts are also a cheap and effective way to keep your puppy/dog safe while traveling. You MUST use a harness with these!

There is nothing better than a leather leash!
