FEEDING YOUR PUPPY
01 . Paw Tree
At Boise Doodle Co, we believe healthy nutrition is the foundation of a happy puppy. That’s why we partner with PawTree, a premium nutrition company that offers high-quality food, supplements, and treats made without fillers or dyes.
When you join PawTree through Boise Doodle Co, you’ll get access to our recommended meal plans, exclusive customer discounts, and customized feeding guidance tailored to your puppy’s breed and size. Plus, your purchases directly support our program, allowing us to keep raising healthy, well-nourished doodles.
02 . Wild One Dog Bowl – Stylish & Practical
We love these sleek, non-slip Wild One bowls — they’re durable, dishwasher-safe, and look beautiful in any home. Each bowl has a stainless steel interior and a silicone base to prevent sliding or spills (great for enthusiastic eaters!).
How to Order:
Choose your color and size on Amazon, then click “Add to Cart.” We recommend getting two — one for food and one for water.

Sneak Peeks from Our Journal
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) for Puppies
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) is a proven method used by top breeders to give puppies a healthy head start in life. Performed between days 3–16, ENS includes five simple exercises — toe tickling, head up, head down, on back, and gentle cold touch — to boost brain development, strengthen the heart, improve stress tolerance, and support lifelong health.
From Our Journal: Life on the Farm
There’s nothing quite like mornings with our Goldendoodle puppies—sunrise, wagging tails, and coffee in hand. If you’re searching for Goldendoodle puppies for sale in Boise, Idaho or wondering if there are Goldendoodle puppies for sale near me, you’re in the right place. These pups are raised with love, structure, and a whole lot of heart.
Let’s be honest—dog hair on your black pants, your couch, your car, and (somehow) in your coffee? Not ideal. Whether you’re navigating allergies, asthma, or just really into clean furniture, finding a non-shedding dog breed can feel like searching for a unicorn. The good news? That unicorn exists… and it comes with a tail and a wagging butt.
At Boise Doodle Co., we specialize in ethically bred, low-to-non-shedding breeds that fit beautifully into family life—and don’t leave your house looking like a lint roller exploded. Let’s dig into your best options.
I Have Questions!
Have Questions, Concerns? Great! We love to chat. Please note if you are looking to fill out the puppy application or read the breeders contract click here.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Every Boise Doodle puppy is introduced to a crate/kennel routine before going home. This makes crate training easier, helps with potty training (dogs don’t potty where they sleep), and provides your puppy a safe den space.
-
We recommend premium tools that match your doodle’s coat and lifestyle:
Pawtree Puppy Food (Turkey & Sweet Potato, White Fish & Brown Rice)
Chris Christensen Slicker & Pin Brushes
Cowboy Magic shampoo/conditioner
Puppy play pen, bully sticks, chew toys, collar, leash, bowls
Tip: We’ll send you a starter potty tray and first week of food with your placement.
-
We feed Pawtree premium food (Turkey & Sweet Potato; White Fish & Brown Rice). It’s made in the USA, reduces gas, improves digestion, and keeps ears healthy. Puppies are fed twice daily in our home, and we recommend you continue this diet to maintain our Boise Doodle Health Guarantee
-
All puppies are trained to understand nighttime is for rest, not play. We remove food after 6:00 pm and water after 7:00 pm, which helps with potty training. Puppies are crated with comfort items (blanket with mom’s scent) to reinforce calm, quiet nights.
-
Yes. Boise Doodle Company offers concierge delivery nationwide. Most families choose airport delivery for $850, which includes flight nanny services and a hand-off at your nearest major airport. We also offer ground delivery options in select regions. Every delivery is designed to be stress-free and safe for your puppy, ensuring a smooth transition into your home.
-
All Boise Doodle puppies are sold on a strict spay/neuter contract, unless full breeding rights are purchased separately. Each placement also comes with our health guarantee, supported by veterinary records and a 30-day free Trupanion insurance policy. These agreements protect both your new family member and the integrity of our breeding program, ensuring long-term health and wellbeing.
-
Good Dog is a trusted platform that provides an extra layer of security and financing options for buyers. Boise Doodle Company lists select litters on Good Dog, and families can check out through their platform using Klarna monthly payments. Please note: if your initial conversation and application begins on Good Dog, their rules require that we finish the purchase there. If you apply directly on our website, you’ll bypass Good Dog’s fees while still receiving the same Boise Doodle health guarantee.
-
To reserve your puppy, we require a $1,000 non-refundable deposit (or 50% if the puppy is under 8 weeks old). For puppies over 8 weeks, the full purchase price plus Idaho sales tax is due to secure your spot. Deposits can be paid via Stripe on our website or through Good Dog checkout if you’d like to use Klarna financing. Once reserved, your puppy is officially held for your family.
-
Just yourself and a calm mindset. Your puppy goes home with what they need, and everything else is outlined on this page and in your Go Home Guide.
-
Before Go Home Day. Consistency matters, and switching foods too quickly can upset your puppy’s stomach.
-
Once scheduling opens, you’ll reserve your pickup time using the Calendly link on this page.
I also schedule and coordinate via text message

All puppies are trained to understand nighttime is for rest, not play. We remove food after 6:00 pm and water after 7:00 pm, which helps with potty training. Puppies are crated with comfort items (blanket with mom’s scent) to reinforce calm, quiet nights.
-
Crate training is strongly recommended. It provides safety, structure, and emotional regulation.
-
It’s best to keep the first few days quiet. Too many people can overwhelm a new puppy.
-
Crying, waking up, or needing reassurance is normal. This does not mean you’re doing anything wrong. Stick to routine, offer comfort without chaos, and keep things calm.
-
Right away—but gently. Focus on routine, crate comfort, potty breaks, and bonding. Formal training comes later.
-
Most puppies begin to settle within 3–7 days as routine, consistency, and familiarity build confidence.
-
Plan for frequent potty breaks—especially after waking, eating, drinking, or play—to set your puppy up for success.
-
Yes. Puppies often sleep more during their first week home as they process new sights, sounds, and experiences.
-
Soft chews, enrichment toys, and safe teething options are ideal. Avoid overly hard chews in the early months.
-
Pickup times are scheduled and structured to keep puppies calm and avoid overstimulation. Please arrive on time.
-
Crying, restlessness, or needing reassurance is completely normal. Stick to routine and keep things calm.
-
This is common during transitions. As long as your puppy is drinking water and acting normally, don’t panic.
-
Activate prior to pickup and send me a visual of your activation. Your puppy goes home with 30 days included, but activation is required.
-
You can always reach out. Support doesn’t end at pickup.
-
Please do NOT put your puppy on the ground on any public surface. No sidewalks, parks, public grass. Limit all exposure. General rule is all paws off the floor until fully vaccinated.
Your puppy can have Fully vacinated visitors to your home from people you trust.
-
Yes! They need to see new people, smells, sounds. Everything. Carry them or have them in an enclosed stroller so you reduce the risk of Parvo. Take them in the car and with you to do things at pet friendly places! It’s important for their socialization. Continue doing this through the first year!
-
This is common. Allow your puppy to adjust at their own pace and avoid forcing interactions.
-
Follow the feeding guidelines provided in your Go Home Guide. Appetite may vary slightly during transitions. I feed 8-12 week old puppies 3x a day. Last feeding at 4:00
-
You’re not alone. Adjusting takes time for both of you. Reach out with questions and lean into routine and consistency.
-
Routine supports nervous system regulation, digestion, sleep, and confidence—especially during the first weeks at home.
-
This Go Home page, your Go Home Guide, and my social media channels provide ongoing education and support.
We’re here to help you take the next step with confidence.
