Families often ask us what to buy before your new family member comes home.  This is an important question because you want to be prepared and you don’t want to waste money on products that aren’t right or that set your training back while you troubleshoot what works best.  There are a LOT of products out there, and we are constantly testing them out to be sure we are personally using and recommending the best choices available.  These are the products that are currently our favorites!

99% of our recommendations can be found on our Amazon storefront… our other favorites will be linked right below

We believe that Life’s Abundance Food and Products provide the optimum nutritional benefits to best ensure good health and longevity for our puppies and dogs. We so strongly believe that optimal nutrition plays an integral role in the short and long-term health of our dogs and puppies that we offer our Best Life Labradoodle families a one-year extension of their health guarantee, for a total of three years, just by feeding your dog Life’s Abundance food.

Please use Best Life’s vendor site to order:

Our recommendation for your first Life’s Abundance order:

• Two Life’s Abundance Lamb Meal and Brown Rice Recipe Bag of Dog Food (Red bag). Order two because you want a backup bag on your shelf since it can’t be picked up at the store if you run out accidentally. Set your auto-ship to one bag though if you prefer. Click the “How Much Do I Need?” button under the photo of the dog food bag to help calculate your auto-ship quantity and frequency. Larger bags are more cost effective and less frequent orders save on shipping costs.
• One 60-tablet bottle of Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement
• Two bags of the Tasty Rewards Treats. They are easy to break into small pieces for maximum rewards. One bag will last a long time, but it’s always good to have the second bag for a backup. We have NEVER met a dog who didn’t LOVE these treats!
• One 6-inch Buffalo Bully Sticks
• One 4-ounce bottle of Ear Care Formula
• One 12-ounce bottle of Revitalizing Shampoo
• One 32 oz Biodeodorizer Spray

Links to Our Favorite Leash/Collar Combo from Molly and Stitch are below: Order size small for any size dog. Small is the width of both collar and leash. The collar size is adjustable. Size small works for ANY size dog.

We do NOT receive commission on this leash, but we do want you to have the best if this is in your budget! It’s expensive, but worth it. We have yet to find another leash that compares. It will last you forever…as long as you carefully put it away and don’t allow your puppy to chew it when not in use! The fable leash is our second favorite (see Amazon storefront) or look for a similar hands-free leash with a “slip collar.”  If the Molly and Stitch leash/collar combo isn’t in your budget, get a Fable Magic Link leash in size M/L for similar function (fablepets.com).

We are really impressed with the Sunny Tails treat bag. It’s a treat bag that clips right onto your leash so you’re hands-free during walks or training sessions. The silicone material is waterproof and easy to wipe clean, so no mess with crumbs or grease. The magnetic snap lets you open it quickly with one hand, perfect when your pup earns a reward mid-walk. Plus, the sleek minimalist design means you’ll actually want to use it (and not just stash it in your bag). We’ve found it keeps training consistent and convenient, which has helped our dog respond faster to cues.

These beds can stand up to even the sharpest puppy teeth and our dogs love them! They are easy to wipe clean too. Order the aluminum frame chew-proof dog bed. The 35″ bed is plenty big for any of our dogs.
