#114 -Stuff We Love: Our Habibi Bear Preferred Brands

We love to share whatever we learn with you, our Habibi Bear Tribe and that includes all the goodies that we have sampled, tested and tried out over the seasons. Companies new and old send us samples and we get to test out whether or not they are a good fit for our beloved little Habibi Bear puppies, the Original Teddy Bear dogs. We meticulously keep track of what works and love to pass that knowledge on to you. Follow the links to get more information and coupon codes for your beloved pup!

Feeding your Puppy:

A healthy pup starts with the best food. We are completely dedicated to giving our Habibi Bear puppies the best, highest quality food available, and that means three main sources: Life’s AbundancePaw Tree, and Viva Raw Food. We are blown away by the excellent quality of the food of these three companies, especially the consistency of their product.

We do understand that not all clients can incorporate a raw food regime into their home, which is why we have sourced two companies with the convenience of superb kibble for them to try out in their homes. You should see the gusto and eagerness that these little Habibi Bear guys and gals devour their specially developed Habibi Bear Hash, a mixture of raw and kibble, plain unsweetened kefir, plain pumpkin puree, and NuVet Vitamin PowderTo order use code: 517391 For extra fun, we even use the Diggs Groov Training Toy as a pacifier to help ease pups into alone time in the crate. Attached to the wire of the pen or crate, the Diggs Groov Training Toy encourages licking, which is soothing and creates positive associations for your pup. When loaded up with raw food, pumpkin or yogurt, the Diggs Groov Training Toy is like a double shot of comfort for your dog, calming the slightest anxiety and feeding their tummies as well.

When we send our Habibi Bear puppies home, every pup receives a sample of awesome NuVet Plus, an essential supplement to help support their general health, well-being, immune and joint system. Scientifically formulated using “cold processing” to help preserve nutritional integrity and value, NuVet is a hit with all our pups, who often try to beg for more of the tasty wafers. We have been using NuVet constantly for years and also use NuVet Labs grooming products, having full confidence in the product line developed by veterinarians to extend the healthy long life of your pet. 

Potty Training:

Here’s where our experience pays off for you and your puppy-doing what we do over the years, we are constantly on the lookout for the perfect combination of ease and cleanliness. Well, hold on to your hats, cowboys,  because we love, love, love the Brilliant Pad Automatic Potty System. We have been using it in our nursery and puppy enrichment center, and we are smitten! The Brilliant Pad system is as close as possible to a hands free cleanup system and it has cut our cleaning time in half. After proper yet easy set-up, the Brilliant Pad will activate upon use and then roll up the waste, solid or liquid, to eliminate any odor lingering in the space. We can’t rave about this system enough! Once the unit is full, the biodegradable spool pops out and goes right into the garbage with everything neatly inside. The only drawback? At the moment, the Brilliant Pad Automatic Potty System works for small dogs only, those 25 pounds and under.

Other popular products with our families are the Little Wolves Potty tray system which also have a grate that is similar to the Brilliant Pad, so your puppy has an easy transition.  You can purchase two for a larger area for your bigger dogs, and they fit their pee pads perfectly.  It’s a great little product and perfect for traveling as well!  We use Both Brillant Pad and Little Wolves at Habibi Bears, and bring along the Little Wolves when we travel to our second home!

These are just a few of our tried and true products that we employ to keep our little Habibi Bear guys and gals in tip-top shape and sparkling fresh. If you head over to our Official  Habibi Bear’s Amazon Shop, you will find over 83 items, from dog beds and carriers, to grooming kits and our current obsession – Pupsicle Treat Tray Molds. Stay tuned for next week’s blog entry, where we will be discussing how NuVet’s NuJoint Plus is the supplement of the year in our book, and should be a staple in every Habibi Bear pup parent’s cupboard and why! Reach out to us if you have any questions, or want to send us some pictures of how much your Habibi Bear puppy loves their Brilliant Pad Automatic Potty System. We love sharing happy pictures of our pups for all the world to see, and as always, we are here for you, cheering you on!

What is a Habibi Bear?

The Habibi Bear is its own breed of dog, purposefully cultivated to be the best of a variety of different breeds, all selected for their unique traits and characteristics. The goal in developing the Habibi Bear was to take temperament of wonderful dogs like the cavalier, who are known for their sweet and gentle temperaments, but also known for their health concerns, and find a way, through hybridization, to great a dog who retained the cavalier temperament, but without the health concerns.
