This is one of the best crates I have used. When buying a crate always remember to purchase one with a divider. This will allow you to make the crate smaller when they are little-preventing them from moving to the back of the kennel and using it as their private bathroom. With a larger size you will only have to buy one crate, it will still be very useful when they are full grown.
I have used a number of different dog enclosures or playpens but this one is by far the best. The panels are a much stronger and all come apart into individual sections allowing for many different arrangements as well as making it smaller or adding sections to make it much larger. This particular one has longer post so they can be pushed into the ground if you are using it outside. This is great if wanting to use it in both places. You will need a min 32” height.
If you will be using your puppy playpen indoors it is always a good idea to protect your floors even if they are linoleum. A heavy duty tarp comes in may sizes, is waterproof, can be washed off and is great for this purpose.
This is a great soft, orthopedic mat for inside of your dog crate. The dogs always love to lay on something soft. I don’t recommend getting this mat until you are sure that your puppy is past the chewing stage…..you will come back to your mat in pieces!!
There are a few different styles of combs out there but I have found the best to be the one with a handle. I find it much easier to use. When you are grooming your Aussiedoodles you have to make sure to use a comb as well as a brush as a brush will not get all of the way to the bottom of the hair shaft and it will matt.
It is essential to have both a comb and a slicker brush to keep your doodle free of matts. I really like the large this large size slicker. It effectively removes mats and undercoats and keeps your dogs hair clean and tangle free. Designed to be less abrasive on your dogs skin
Sometimes even after religiously brushing and combing our pups out they get tangles that are hard to remove. This detangler spray works like a charm!! Just spray a little on, rub it into the matted area and comb out. The spray also nourishes and conditions the hair leaving it soft, shiny and manageable………and it smells nice too!!
I love this shampoo, it makes their hair so soft and well conditioned. It is specifically formulated for wavy and curly hair. The shampoo is great for sensitive skin as well. It has a great fragrance that lasts a bit after bathing.
MUSHER’S SECRET
Mushers Secret all season moisturizing dog paw balm / protection. 60 grams
Made in Canada
FLEECE LONG LEG COAT
4 legged fall / winter fleece coat
CANADA POOCH WINTER BOOTIES
I found this great paw protection wax when I was back home in Canada. Our harsh winters and hot summers play havoc on the pads of our dogs feet and this is a great solution to keep them soft, supple and healthy. It creates an invisible dog paw / nose protector barrier for snow, hot pavement and tough terrain. It is made from food safe oils and waxes that are safe even if your dog licks it off. It protects against drying and cracking. It is also safe to apply on hotspots and cuts. I may be a little biased ….but this is made in Canada, originally for sled dogs so it is very effective (and brings a little Canada home to me!!)
Winter is always a fun time for your little Aussiedoodle pups!! But the snow can leave them looking like a snowman! Its sometimes really hard to find a coat that has 4 relatively long legs that largely cover the so they doesn’t turn into snowball legs! This coat is not that heavy but sure does the trick. For a 20 lb dog I ordered the XXL size and it fits great.
The sub zero temperatures are very hard on your pups paws. There are plenty of dog booties out their to choose from but most of them just fall right off not long after you go outside. These are the only ones that I have found that will actually stay on their feet. I ordered a size 2 for a 15 lb dog. I can’t seem to find the link on Amazon for any sizes other than a 1 or 6, but I’m sure the Canada Pooch site will carry them.
ABSORBANT WATER MAT FOR FOOD AND WATER BOWL
5 different sizes and 6 colors
PETDROID INTERACTIVE DOG BALL
Motion activated and rechargeable
I’m not sure about your dogs, but mine always splash water everywhere after drinking! This mat keeps my floors much cleaner. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t look dirty. To clean, just rinse it with soap and water, then air dry. It comes in many colors to match your home.
This has got to be one of the best dog toys they’ve ever invented!! It keeps your Aussiedoodle engaged forever. It automatically moves and rotates for 25 sec, stops for 5 sec and then repeats the cycle for a total of 2 min before entering standby mode. It als has a crazy bounce mode. In standby mode it reactivates when your dog touches or bites it. This has rechargeable batteries that take 1.5 hr to recharge. Operating time is 4 hrs. This is also waterproof so you can use it outside
