We want you to have a successful transition from our program to your home. It's important that your puppy has all of his or her needs met. We recommend reading this book, The Forever Dog by Karen Becker DVM and Rodney Habib. It contains great information that can aide you in your life journey with your new family member. If you are on Facebook get more info from this amazing duo here. We have listed below quite a few of the products we use in our breeding program as well as products and nutrition for our adult dogs. The Forever Dog Life by Karen Becker DVM and Rodney Habib is a comprehensive guide that offers science-backed strategies to help your dog live a vibrant, extended life through nutritionally balanced meals and nontoxic environmental solutions for better bowls and healthier homes.
These are the items we use for all of our adult dogs and puppies.
We use this crate for all of our dogs and once the puppies reach 6 weeks old. They get 10-14 days of crate training and should be able to be in the crate for up to 5 hours by the time they go home.
Budget Friendly - We love this pad because it doesn't hold hair and can be washed. They are super easy to clean in the tub and can be air dried.
Our favorite - This pad is amazing and used by our adult dogs. It can be washed and dry in a matter of hours. It's virtually indestructible and made from recycled material. It doesn't hold hair and our dogs love it!
Budget Friendly - Heelers love to sleep in dark quiet areas. We found that if their crate is covered they will sleep at the back when they need alone time. This cover is super easy to wipe down and keep clean.
Our favorite - This cover is 100% breathable cotton canvas. Once our puppies stop chewing everything including their bed, they get one. They are great because they roll up on two sides matching the 2 sided opening on our favorite crates.
We get the most questions about our dogs diet. Here are the supplements and resources we use.
We feed only kibble until they are 3-6 months old. We begin mixing with raw or gently cooked food around 3-6 months. Then we slowly transition and may keep the additional calories of the kibble up to age 2. Honest Kitchen can also be found at Petco and other pet suppliers. More information.

NuVet Labs has amazing products. We especially like NuVet Plus either wafer or powder and NuJoint DS or Plus depending on the needs of the dog.
We use several natural limited ingredient treats including this one from Honest Kitchen. We also like natural jerky treats. Just watch the ingredients.
Omega-Pawz is an important source for fatty acids and immune support.
Happy-Furever™ Oil for brain, cognitive, digestive, and immune support. We love that it helps with allergies, anxiety, and inflammation. This is the highest quality oil at the very best price. Use coupon code BRENDA09006 for 15% off.
We rotate between Candident and Irish Kelp. Candident prevents plaque and removes tarter for clean teeth and good breath. Irish Kelp supports a healthy immune system among a few other amazing benefits.
We are huge fans of products made by Dr. Ruth Roberts; supplements by NuVet and CBD oils by Paw Origins as they are high quality, organic and sustainably sourced. Each of our dogs has different needs and we use too many to list all of them. If you have a question, we'd be happy to help you choose the right products for your puppy.
Our program is tailored to the needs of each dog. We feed based on the BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) method or The Original CrockPet Diet formulated by Dr. Ruth Roberts DVM, CVA, CVH, CVFT, NAN, an Integrative Veterinarian .

Heelers need to be kept busy or they will find trouble. These are our favorite products.
These and these are great while they are teething and mouthing everything in your home. They are tactile and squeaky, for enrichment. They can be cleaned, and we find they drag them around for months. Just toss the stuffing and squeaker to keep the puppy safe. One is included in your puppy go home kit.
Kong makes balls that have the squeakers hidden deep inside to prevent choking.
Here are a few other toys used by our dogs. Most of them are safe and durable, however Heelers are power chewers and can destroy ANY toy. Lots of toys, bones and chews will save your home!
We get our bones locally, but this is what we use. They keep your dogs teeth clean if chewed regularly. Real beef bones for dogs with marrow are naturally rich in glucosamine and chondroitin to support your pup’s joint health. Marrow dog chew bones also support cardiovascular health, immunity and digestion.
