K9 Necessities

Bringing a new Labradoodle home?  Give him a proper welcome by having these essentials on hand.

Printable Shopping List

Collar  Find a collar with a buckle or snap closure.  For a proper fit, measure your Labradoodles neck
and add 2 inches.  Check the fit by placing two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck; if there
is extra room, the collar is too big; if there is not enough room for two fingers, the collar is too small.

Tags  Attach an IF tab with your dog's name, your address and phone number, and your vet's address
and phone number.

Leash  Look for a 6-foot leash that is 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch wide.

Food and water bowls  Choose bowls that will not tip over and are easy to clean.  Stainless steel or
ceramic are the best.  Use separate bowls for food and water, and wash bowls weekly.

Dog food  We recommend raw however; you can CLICK HERE to find a food that is available in
your area and good for your Labradoodle too.

Grooming gear  You will need a brush and "poodle" comb, dog shampoo, nail clippers, and dental
care supplies.  You will also find a mat-breaker very useful.

Toys  Carefully choose toys specifically designed for dogs.  Toys should not splinter or be able to torn
apart or swallowed.  If your Labradoodle can enclose the toy in her mouth, the toy is too small.

Crate and bed  Dogs need their own place to sleep.  A crate provides a warm, comforting den for
your Labradoodle when you cannot watch her or you are away from home.  Be sure your dog is able to
stand up, turn around, and lie down inside the crate and that there is proper ventilation.
