PET SUPPLIES
Purina Pro Plan SPORT 30/20 Salmon
This is what we feed all our dogs. It is an all life-stages food.
32IN Metal Play Pen for long term containment
This is what we use to keep our pup's grass mat and for use around the house to prevent unwanted behaviors (chewing, getting into things, etc)
Used indoors with pee pad underneath temporarily until pups are able to "hold it" for longer durations. Also used to initially toilet train dogs to grass type surfaces.
Mr. Wags Crate Pads (dog beds)
These are great for use inside crates, for "place" training, for travel, or a ringside rest! Also available through White Dog Bone retailer at most local shows!
BREEDING SUPPLIES
I love the TALL windowed EZ Whelp Classic box as it provides an easy to clean and safe delivery environment, plus allows me to expand the area as the pups grow and their demands change. I can sit inside the whelping box with the dam, and keep an eye on her and the pups thanks to the plexiglass windows. By far my favorite option and best of all ... no exercise pens required!
This is a supplement that is recommended by the renowned repro specialist Marty Greer who works with Revival pet to bring supplements targeted at reproductive health and vitality. Make sure to check out the PURE DOG TALK PODCAST discussing the importance of nutrition and supplementation as part of a breeding program.
This calcium supplement is the only brand my dogs will reliably take! It's easy to dose with a twist and plunger style tube. Given after the FIRST puppy is born and then subsequently after each puppy. Will continue use during lactation until weaning.
