Mush madness has officially begun! 🤪 Our almost one month old pups just dove headfirst (almost literally!) into their first taste of puppy mush. This is a crucial time for their development as they start to get the extra calories and nutrients they need. Watching their tiny faces discover this new world of texture and taste was priceless. Be prepared for messy puppy spam! 😂

✨Pupdate✨
These little cuties are getting so big! They are now chowing down on some puppy mush and making a huge mess of their little faces while doing so! They’ve been introduced to baths and getting dried off and brushed afterwards to make grooming a breeze when they’re bigger.
They’re finding their voices and love playing with each other and exploring their surroundings, but they’re always eager to come back to us for snuggles and attention! They are masters of the puppy dog eyes and know exactly how to melt your heart!

Milk & Honey Doodles was simply amazing. Their communication was always quick, kind, and informative. We are completely in love with our new addition and so grateful that he had such a wonderful welcome into the world. Even our vet was super impressed with our pup’s health and temperament at his first visit. Thank you, Milk & Honey! Would recommend over and over again.

Milk and Honey was responsive and forthcoming with all requested information. I felt they were honest and really cared for and loved their puppies. I believe they tried hard to match their puppies’ temperament to the right family. They clearly worked with the puppies on potty habits and crates, making the transition to our home much easier. Cookie fka Oatmeal is thriving!
