Cairn Dale Farm Staff Recommendations

Toys-

• Kong classic, puppy or extreme
  • I recommend stuffing with peanut butter, pumpkin, or wet dog food.
  • Freezing it helps keep it last longer and Kongs are all dishwasher safe!
  • This will keep pups busy for awhile. I like to give them to my dogs when I go to work.
• Kong Gyro-
  • This is a treat dispensing you that will also keep them active.
  • I recommend filling it with a couple of stinky, meaty treats and some regular cookies. Make sure they are small enough to dispense through the hole.
  • Found on petco.com, I highly recommend having some sort of interactive toy like this.

Chews

• Nylabones-
  • I recommend the ones with nubs on them as they will massage the puppies gums and will help with teething.
  • I recommend dipping it in water and putting it in the freezer. This will help soothe puppies sore gums.
• Himalayan chews- 
  • This is just a very very hard block of cheese. It is long lasting and it's all natural.
• Bully sticks
• Bones

Food

• Merrick-
  • This food is very high quality and is very nutritious for your growing pup.
  • It has great levels of glucosamine, chondroitin, and essential vitamins.
• Canidae-
  • Very healthy food that is high quality and made by a great company.
• Wholehearted-
  • A cheaper option than the previous two and it has great nutrition for the price point. It also has probiotics to help with digestion
• Purina Dog Chow-
  • Economic option

Harnesses

• The Halti harness
  • Great to help stop pulling, has a great fit and can be hooked in the front or back.
• Kurgo travel harness-
  • Great for traveling, high quality harness and it can clip in the front to help stop pulling
• Easy walk-
  • Like the Halti, but doesn't fit all dogs as well. Helps stop pulling.
• Good2go reflective harness

Grooming supplies-

• Tropiclean brand shampoo, conditioner and cologne
  • It's all natural and smells great!
• Espree brand shampoo, conditioner and cologne
  • All natural, smells good, and it's what petco grooming salon uses.
• Espree Paw balm
  • This helps condition the paw pads and will help prevent slippage on slick floors. It also protects the paws

Cleaning supplies

• Nature's miracle-
  • All natural and removes stain and odors! I LOVE this cleaner!

**everything on this list can be found at petco or petco.com**

Products that are good to have on hand

• Orajel- this can help soothe the pain of teething with puppies, I only recommend using this if they are crying in pain.
• Benadryl- If your dog gets stung by a bee or has an allergic reaction to something they can have benadryl.
