       There are many other helpful and fun products available at pet supply stores. One of my favorite websites for puppy supplies is  www.Amazon.com  and www.chewy.com. There are        several options out there, decide which will be a best fit for your Shichon, Maltipoo, Mal-shi, Shih Poo or Teddy bear puppy and your lifestyle. 

Happy shopping & of course, feel free to call or email us anytime with questions. Thanks, Monti
