The amount of products available for puppies can be overwhelming. Here is our Amazon list with some basic items we love for our puppies and the dog foods that we use. We recommend a high quality large breed puppy food.
You will want to feed a puppy food formula for the first 2 years. Standard Goldendoodles are considered a large breed, so avoid "high protein". Large dogs develop more slowly than small or medium dogs. With the wrong type of food, large breeds will grow faster than their bones can support them, causing orthopedic issues over time. If you choose to change food brands or formula it helps to gradually mix the old and new food to avoid upset stomach.
Specific to Goldendoodles, you will want to make sure you have both a metal comb as well as a slicker brush to keep your puppy free of matting. A puppy dryer is not necessary but we love ours for after baths at home to keep the fluffy look between grooming.
We highly recommend crate training to keep your puppy safe when you are unable to supervise, at full growth your puppy will need a large size crate. We have also included enrichment toys the pups love as well as the cleaning products we find to work best for potty training accidents.
