Dog Stuff
Grooming, dishes, toys, and all the things the dogs need!
Shampoo/Conditioner
Brushes/Combs
For regular brushing, we use a simple brush rake. This works thru the undercoat and long guard hairs well and can remove a significant amount of shedding hair. We never use a Furminator on double coated dogs as it can damage the coat. A dematting rake or undercoat rake is really helpful to breakup stubborn mats.
For shedding season I use the Flying Pig High Velocity Dog Pet Grooming Dryer w/Heater to loosen and remove A LOT of hair! I follow that up with a good brush with this awesome Les Poochs Pro Brush and it makes brushing quick and easy.
Toys!
The CMDs often find sticks or branches outside to chew, but I keep a few things in the pasture/pens to occupy them during down time as well. A few of these large Petstages wood alternative chews are a popular choice. The Outward Hound firehose dog toys are one of the only soft toys that last any amount of time with these giant dogs. The extra, extra large, extreme Kong is one of the only other toys I leave for unsupervised play.
Miscellaneous
Tags, dishes, and collars:
The puppies often pull the tags off each others collars when they rough house, so I use Stainless Steel Slide On tags from Chewy.
I prefer to use hanging feeders for meals. Bowls get carried off here!
I have Fi Collars for a few of the dogs, just to make sure they're safe. It's also fun to track their activity and sleep as an additional way to make sure they are doing ok. Tyche wears an XL Fi collar.
