You will also need to order your puppy's first bottle of NuVet before picking up your puppy.


The first two years of a puppy's life are critical. NuVet Plus® is perfectly balanced to provide the most effective and essential ingredients that help defend puppies from toxins and nutritional deficiencies. 


  • Boosts the Immune System                (especially important for puppies!)
  • Fortifies High Quality Bone Structure


Note: The Shark Cartilage found in NuVet is derived from a renewable fishing industry in the Atlantic.  It does not threaten any protected or endangered species of sharks.  


Acadia Goldendoodles and NuVet Labs are opposed to the cruelty of shark-fin hunting.

Crates & Gates

Containment

Crates, exercise pens and baby/puppy gates are important for training, safety and your own peace of mind while your raise your Goldendoodle puppy.


Sizes

Get the 36" size for Medium Goldendoodle puppies and the 40" or 48" size for Standards.  These should last for the puppy's entire lifetime.

image223

Goldendoodle Grooming Tools

You will probably take your Goldendoodle to a groomer every 6-8 weeks.  In between those appointments, you will need to do some maintenance.  If you start right away, and make it fun for the puppy, it can be a nice bonding activity and keep your dog looking great for years to come.

image224

Soft & Slicker Brushes

While your Goldendoodle is a puppy, you should have a soft brush for the face and any parts that are sensitive when brushed.  The slicker is your "go-to" brush for daily brushing throughout a Goldendoodle's life.  


Metal Comb & Mat Rake

Use a metal comb to "line brush" your dog's coat weekly, catching mats when they are small.  If you find a large mat, use the mat rake to break it up and remove it.


Nail Clippers & Scissors

Trim your Goldendoodle puppy's nails regularly.  Use the scissors to trim the hair around the eyes as needed for good vision.


Grooming At Home - COVID-19 Update

Whether it's because your groomer is closed, or because you just want to do it yourself, here are some tools to help you groom your Goldendoodle puppy or older Goldendoodle at home.

HOME GROOMING SUPPLIES

Toys & Games for Goldendoodles



Your puppy supplies should include at least 5 puppy toys to start with.  Since buying toys for your dog is fun, you will probably add quite a few more later. 


We love the classic products from Planet Dog, Kong and Nylabone.


See the categories, descriptions and links below for ideas.

Soft Toys

Get a few soft toys for your puppy.  Rotate them to keep things interesting, wash them in between to keep them clean. 

Chew Toys & Balls

Chewing will be essential in the beginning, as your Goldendoodle looses puppy teeth and grows new, adult teeth.  Even as they get older, many dogs enjoy some chewing time each day.  Balls are great for exercising and some like to carry them.

Interactive Games

Interactive toys and games will reduce boredom and keep your puppy's brain active.  Goldendoodle puppies need physical AND mental exercise. The best dog food dispenser toys I have found are from Kong and Planet Dog.

Training Equipment for Goldendoodles

Training should be fun for you and your puppy, so be sure to get some equipment you'll enjoy.  I prefer equipment made of leather, cotton and hemp, but many people like to start out with an adjustable nylon collar and matching leash.  There are many color and pattern choices available.


Start with a good flat collar, a leash, and a long training lead.  Those are the basic essentials. Then, depending on your training methods and preferences, you can add a clicker, a treat bag and some other training devices.  


Please do NOT use choke collars, prong collars or other force-based equipment on you Goldendoodle!
