Puppy Care

Your Puppy Care Questions Answered

What we feed our puppies

We feed our Australian Labradoodle puppies Royal Canin puppy kibble. 

Once the puppies have arrived you will be sent information on how to receive your free Royal Canin welcome box! We will also advise on whether your puppy will go home eating Mini puppy or Medium puppy kibble. 

Puppies should be fed this type of food until they are 12 months old, or as recommended by your vet. Puppies will normally go home eating 3 meal per day, you will be informed of the specific amount on collection. Meals can be reduced from 3 to 2 at around 6 months old. Most treats are fine as long as they say “puppy” on the pack.

Insurance

We offer all families 4 weeks free insurance via Pet Plan to cover your first few weeks. We will normally start this from the day you collect your puppy.

Once the 4 weeks are up it is up to you to arrange further cover. We advise on taking out a full policy and ‘all of life’ type cover for your puppy is advised, which means regardless of what the future holds your puppy will always have cover, as long as you keep your policy up to date.

Grooming

You will need small scissors (for clearing eyes); a slicker brush, a metal comb, gentle puppy shampoo.

Your puppy will need to get used to being groomed straight away. 5 minutes of gentle brushing in the evening is a good start.

Regular teeth brushing is also advised and the earlier this is started the more your dog will get used to it as part of their routine. 

We recommend professional grooming every 6-8 weeks.
