Our Pups’ First Taste of and : A Step Towards Healthy Eating

Today marks an exciting milestone for our little ones as they try their first meal from Petzyo & Lyka! Weaning is such an important part of a puppy’s development, and we’re thrilled to start this journey with a brand that truly cares about nutrition.

What is Weaning?

Weaning is the gradual process of transitioning puppies from their mother’s milk to solid food. It’s a big step that helps them develop the digestive enzymes needed to process more complex nutrients. For our pups, this process began around 3-4 weeks of age when they started showing interest in solid foods.

Why Lyka and Petzyo?

Choosing the right food is crucial during this stage. We’ve always loved Petzyo and Lyka for their commitment to high-quality, fresh ingredients that support our dogs’ health. Lyka offers fresh, whole foods that are gently cooked to preserve essential nutrients, while Petzyo provides dry, nutrient dense meals that are packed with high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and the right balance of vitamins and minerals—everything our pups need to grow strong and healthy.

How We Introduced Lyka & Petzyo

We started by mixing a small amount of soaked Petzyo dry with Lyka with warm water to create a soft, porridge-like consistency that’s easy for their tiny mouths to manage. Watching them eagerly lap up their first bites was such a joy! Over the next few weeks, we’ll gradually decrease the water content as they get used to chewing.

A Smooth Transition

It’s essential to monitor how the pups are adjusting to their new diet. We’ll be keeping an eye on their stools, energy levels, and overall health to ensure they’re thriving. So far, they’re loving their meals and seem to be handling the change beautifully!

Exclusive Discount!

We’re so excited to watch our pups grow and thrive on Lyka’s and Petzyo’s nutritious meals. If you’d like to give these amazing brands a try, you can use our special code to receive discounts off both Petzyo and Lyka products. Your pups deserve the best, and we’re sure they’ll love these meals as much as ours do!

Stay tuned for more updates on their weaning journey!

At Oaklands Oodles, we believe in doing things right from the start, which is why we DNA test all our dogs. You might wonder, why not just wait to see what colors or traits come through naturally? The truth is, it’s not just about appearances—it’s about the health and well-being of our pups for years to come.

DNA testing allows us to identify and eliminate the risk of inheritable diseases. By understanding the genetic makeup of each dog, we can make informed breeding decisions that help ensure healthier litters. This not only helps us maintain the high standards of our breeding program but also significantly reduces the chance of passing on genetic conditions that could affect the quality of life of our dogs and their future families.

Additionally, knowing the genetic traits of our dogs helps us better predict coat types and colourings, so we can match puppies with the right families more accurately. It’s not just about preventing diseases—it’s about ensuring our pups have the best start in life.

So while waiting for a surprise might seem fun, we believe that taking proactive steps to ensure the health and happiness of our dogs is even better. DNA testing is our commitment to transparency, responsibility, and the well-being of every dog that comes from Oaklands Oodles.

**Why We at Oaklands Oodles Prioritise PennHIP**

At Oaklands Oodles, the health and well-being of our dogs are our top priorities, which is why we strongly advocate for the PennHIP method of hip evaluation. Unlike traditional methods, PennHIP provides a more accurate and early diagnosis of hip dysplasia, a condition that can severely impact a dog’s quality of life. By identifying hip issues as early as 16 weeks, we can make informed breeding decisions, ensuring that only the healthiest dogs are part of our program.

This proactive approach while more costly allows us to minimise the risk of passing on genetic hip problems to future generations, promoting long-term joint health and overall well-being. PennHIP’s rigorous assessment helps us maintain the highest standards of care and integrity in our breeding practices, ensuring that our puppies grow into happy, healthy, and active dogs.

We believe that investing in advanced screening methods like PennHIP is not just about protecting our dogs today but also about securing a healthier future for the breed.

Bobby our little phantom chocolate poodle has gone off today to have his anaesthesia and X-rays we are impatiently waiting to get him back in our arms and will share his results in the hope he may join our program.

🐾 Little Journey 🐾

Journey has been the littlest pup in this litter, I might have a soft spot for her after having to really work with her over the past 2 wks to get her gaining good weights and really thriving. She’s been a little fighter the whole way through. She’s 1/2 the size of the other pups but that doesn’t stop her from wiggling her way past her siblings to get to the milk bar! She’s a gorgeous light golden colouring with abstract markings.

You can find applications via or via our website links found in our bio or simply DM for more info

With Puppies on their way we decided to have a little pampering session care of

Their 2in1 conditioning shampoo was a dream to lather up around her growing tummy of 9 babies that are due next week.

Opal has been used to being groomed regularly because she has had the whole grooming process done on a regular basis since a puppy she is always a very good girl.

Our waitlist is now re-open!!

🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶

I originally closed the waitlist after our ultrasound because the vet could only see 4 pups, clearly they are good at playing hide and seek as we now have opportunity for 5 more families to give Opals final litter the very best of homes !

Dogs have a Y-shaped uterus, which can make it challenging to get accurate puppy counts during an ultrasound. The shape and positioning of the fetuses can cause some to be hidden from view, leading to potential underestimation of the litter size. This anatomical complexity is the reason we always X-ray our litters so that we know what to expect on delivery day.

If you know any exceptional families that might want a puppy send them my way!

Being able to give a lifelong friend to our beautiful Oaklands Oodles families is a gift that I’ll never be able to repay. Thank you to all of our families for choosing our remarkable puppies and for entrusting me as your breeder to help raise these lifelong friends.

Meet my little Grand-pup (my Son’s dog) Little Bobby is a teeny tiny poodle that’s getting some love from his Nanna. With a new pup in the house i thought it’s a good time to share my top puppy housebreaking tips.

🐶 Everything UP & AWAY - Just like baby proofing a home anything that I don’t want chewed or peed on is away. That means rugs, low indoor plants, the boys favourite books or blankey. If there’s less opportunity for mistakes there’s more opportunities for success.

🐶 Restrict access - we minimise the spaces that the pup can access. We close bedroom doors we allow pup in a space where we can see him if he gives signals for toileting or gets up to no hood so that we can curb behaviours before they become habitual.

🐶 We set a timer - every hour pup is outside for toileting and we use a toilet command “toilet” “wee wees” whatever you feel comfortable with. Further more to this we walk him out the same door each time so that when he needs to go he can alert us by heading to that door.

🐶 We socialise - socialisation doesn’t need to be at a dog park surrounded by unfamiliar dogs. We can do this in our home. We can open and close the fridge, slam a cupboard, drop a pot, play different genres. It’s all about how your puppy reacts to the new stimuli. Done in a safe non confrontational way allows your puppy to become a well adjusted adult dog.

🐶 Chew - puppies explore the world with their mouths so we have plenty of chew toys like Kongs, rubber balls etc. Our favourite of all though is brisket bone not only is it nutritious & natural but it helps clean their teeth at the same time.

🐶 Patience - Just like human babies they make mistakes as do we. Training takes time be patient with your puppy but be patient with yourself too!

Understanding the 4-Week Milestone in Dog Pregnancy

At 4 weeks gestation, a pregnant dog and her developing puppies are at a critical stage of growth and development. Here’s a closer look at what’s happening:

For the Puppies:

Organ Development: Around this time, the embryos start forming their essential organs and structures. By the end of the fourth week, the spinal cord, brain, and heart are beginning to take shape.
The embryos, initially just clusters of cells, now resemble small puppies with limb buds and a more defined shape. They are about the size of a walnut.
Placenta Formation- The placentas, which provide oxygen and nutrients to the growing puppies, are fully formed by this stage, ensuring that the puppies receive the necessary sustenance for further development.

What’s happening for our mumma?

Behavioral Changes: The pregnant dog may show subtle signs of pregnancy, such as increased appetite, slight weight gain, and possibly changes in temperament. She might be more affectionate or seek out quiet places to rest.
Nutritional Needs: Proper nutrition is crucial. A balanced diet with high-quality protein supports the mother’s health and the puppies’ development.

It’s at this stage that we visit our vet to perform an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy and check on the health and development of the puppies.

Stay tuned for more updates as the pregnancy progresses!

Remember whatever your pets age their cup needs to be full to live an enriched life. If things aren’t quiet going the way you had hoped with your dog or they are getting up to no good, go back to basics !

Keeping a dog mentally and physically stimulated can help prevent destructive behavior, separation anxiety, and excessive barking. Here are some enrichment ideas:

Mental Stimulation

1. Puzzle Toys: Invest in puzzle toys that dispense treats as the dog solves them.
2. Interactive Feeders: Use slow feeders or treat-dispensing toys to make mealtime more engaging.
3. Training Sessions: Regular short training sessions can mentally stimulate your dog and strengthen your bond.
4. Scent Games: Hide treats around the house or yard and let your dog find them using their sense of smell.
5. Chew Toys: Provide durable chew toys that can keep your dog occupied and satisfy their natural chewing instinct.

Physical Exercise

1. Daily Walks: Regular walks are essential for physical exercise and mental stimulation.
2. Fetch Games: Playing fetch can burn off energy quickly and keep your dog engaged.
3. Agility Training: Set up a simple agility course in your backyard to challenge your dog’s physical and mental abilities.
4. Play Dates: Arrange playdates with other dogs to provide social interaction and exercise.
5. Tug-of-War: A good game of tug can be both physically and mentally stimulating.

Comfort and Security

1. Comfortable Space: Ensure your dog has a cozy and safe space to retreat to, like a crate or a designated dog bed.
2. Calming Music: Play calming music or leave the TV on to provide some background noise when you’re away.
3. Routine: Maintain a consistent routine to provide your dog with a sense of security.

Most Importantly….Have fun with your dog 🐾

The heart and soul of Oaklands Oodles 🐾

02/07/2024

Today I received such a thoughtful gift, one I will cherish forever. Little Maple got her angel wings a lot earlier than we all expected through a freak accident.

When I hand these babies over I know they will be with their fur’ever families often longer then I will ever have them in my arms but I really do hold them in my heart for eternity. I spend hours procrastinating their mums perfect match before they are conceived, then there are blood tests, AI visits, ultrasounds, X-rays and in this case a cesarean. I sleep in whelping boxes and often don’t sleep through until pups are 4 wks old. I remember their first time they open their eyes, when they first start to waddle and I’m so grateful to be able to have a small piece of Miss Maple with us always.

I can’t thank her family enough for loving her to bits.

Fly high miss maple 🐾 😇
