Peaches's Essentials Checklist

From the Cha Cha Doodles "Essentials 2026" email

3 orders ยท Paw Tree + Life's Abundance + NuVet ยท ~5โ€“6 months

๐Ÿ“„ Full email  ยท  ๐Ÿพ Pickup Day  ยท  ๐Ÿ• Schedule & routine โ†’

โš ๏ธ Read first

  • No flea/tick chemicals โ€” Bravecto, NexGard, Simparica, Frontline (topical or chew). Using them voids the 2-year health guarantee. Use a natural Flea & Tick spray instead.
  • Don't change the diet abruptly โ€” Peaches's food is her one constant. Keep feeding what the breeder feeds (the foods below โ€” not Amazon substitutes).
  • Order in January โ€” both food companies asked customers to order early so they can restock before pickup.

Amazon โ†— links are convenience alternatives for treats, grooming & supplies only. The foods should come from the breeder's companies.

๐Ÿช™ Easing in โ€” start cheap

Peaches is coming soon and the full list is a lot up front. Buy the Now items first (~$150โ€“200) โ€” that's just what she eats every day, so day one isn't a diet change. Everything else can wait for your next order.

Bridge the gap: ask the breeder to send a small supply of her current food home with her while your orders ship.

Hi! We're so excited to bring Peaches home ๐Ÿพ I just got the Essentials email and I'm placing the Paw Tree, Life's Abundance and NuVet orders now. A couple ship in a few days, and the Healthy Start Pack is out of stock so I'm ordering the standalone All Life Stages bag instead. Since I don't want to change her diet the second she gets home, would you be able to send a small supply of her current foods home with her to bridge the first week or so while my orders arrive? I'll have the staples on the way. Thank you so much! ๐Ÿ™
