Helpful Resources
Here are some of the products, organisations, and guides we personally use and recommend to help you give your spoodle the best possible start.
​
Nutrition
We feed our dogs Vet’s All Natural Complete Mix combined with raw meat. This balanced diet supports excellent energy levels, healthy body condition, and shiny coats.

​
Health & genetics
PRA-prcd (Progressive Rod Cone Degeneration) is a hereditary eye disease that causes declining vision and eventual blindness. All of our breeding dogs are DNA tested to ensure none of our puppies will be affected.
​
Grooming essentials
Regular grooming keeps your spoodle’s coat healthy and tangle-free. We recommend:
-
Slicker brush for everyday brushing
-
Comb for detangling around ears and legs
-
Pet-friendly shampoo (mild, hypoallergenic)
-
Professional clipping every 8–12 weeks, depending on coat length
​​
Training & behaviour
Spoodles are intelligent and eager to please, which makes training fun and rewarding. Some resources we recommend:
-
Positive reinforcement training guides (such as The Power of Positive Dog Training by Pat Miller)
-
Local puppy schools or obedience clubs for socialisation and manners
-
Interactive toys and puzzles to keep their clever minds busy
​
Pet insurance
Every puppy leaves us with four weeks of free Trupanion insurance (covering accident and illness). We strongly recommend continuing with a pet insurance plan for peace of mind and protection against unexpected vet bills.
​
Rescue & adoption
While we are passionate about spoodles, we also encourage families to consider rescue. Canine Lifeline is a wonderful organisation helping dogs in need find their forever homes.
