we order alot of things ourselves for the dogs and puppies , treats of all kinds so as to know what to recommend based on experience. Also Toys to see what the puppies like most and try new ones just coming out so we can refer our adoptees to things their new family member will enjoy so as to make a smooth transition from our home to theirs.

Miss Christina orders a box from Chewy with lots of goodies ! we share lots of goodies with our dogs and the boarding doggies we babysit for our customers. It helps so much to have something to lure dogs where we need them to be and not have to lift :)
right now we are out of rawhide treats and would love some sticks, bones, or chew flips for the teething pups we have till the end of Dec. here with us on extended stay till their owners are ready for them .
these last a long time and relieve their new teeth coming in ... and of course the doggies always enjoy um!
we have plenty of dream bone sticks Miss Christina had ordered for our doggies, those arent as good for younger dogs they can break off in larger pieces, so we prefer to use real raw hide puppies can knaw on and get their teeth into it to relieve teething :)
we ordered Puppy food prior to breeding our 3 litters for 2023 to start feeding our moms to be ahead of getting pregnant and lots of dreambone treats on a special deal with chewy.
our thanks to Renee who adopted Sadie Mae's mini male tri color, she sent some gumbys and lots of other nice things along to share with others she said" if anyone needs a toy and their puppy likes it :) let them have it. How sweet, we love working with so many thoughtful folks, who help in our mission to raise Happy Healthy well rounded babies for other beagle lovers like ourselves to enjoy!
we were all out of good jerky treats and these yummy salmon sticks that are great for skin and coat Renee had sent even before she was chosen to adopt one of Sadie Mae's boys she started helping us here !!!
It was so wonderful to have things on hand to give between meals and she really sent a nice assortment !!

(The Owners of "Thor" asked us what they might do to help us)
Hello there...hope you are well. I saw online that Sadie Mae is staying with you now & getting close to having some adorable babies. :). Is there anything that we could order that would help you out for the babies or Sadie Mae? Pee pads, blankets, etc. We would like to do a little something to help.

Christopher sent a helpful box of goodies from Chewy to give Sadie to keep eating healthy while she is feeding his new pup!
we especially cant get enough of these Jerkys of
various kinds they are so good as a between meal snack to keep moms milk flowing and nutritional !

their pup gets toys and goodies from home , and daddy Thor gets a dental chew aka cigar for the proud papa!
then they followed up with some toys of Thor's , more much needed Jerky , an adorable Gator toy for the puppy to play with here with littermates and bring home when he leaves us.
we are anxious to see how they hold up to puppy play once our babies arrive and are old enough to try them out... they look very well made so far.
we have gotten the cute little Lambchop toys in some puppy care packages in the past,
and while it is just adorable they aren't a very long lasting, and sturdy toy vs
some other choices we like better.
We have noticed the older style was sort of like a sock material that was loosely woven ,
and teeth and toenails ripped it up .

Now we are seeing the newer Version of Lamb chop have a
fuzzy fur -like material .
and while they aren't torn as often ,
they tend to Mat down with puppies putting their mouths on them,
and blah who wants fuz in their pups mouth
lol..

so a hard pass on these as cute as they seem.
Petstages have some really good small teething toys that hold up very well in our experience.
Wish #1 more Treats to hand to expectant or nursing mom's as they make rich healthy milk
for the next sunshine beagles to thrive on..

we use both Eukanuba and Iams puppy food for our doggies and puppies, but we add in special meats and cheeses and healthy goodies as we feed them.
for years Miss Christina drove to Charlotte to pick up a jeep trunk full of Eukanuba dog food ,
now we use Chewy for most of our purchases and its incredibly easier on her !!

Now our dog food arrives at the gate and we can stay home and care for our doggies instead of using our time and gas to run get it so often :)
as you can imagine we go thru alot of goodies around beagle heaven Sunshine Acres. ( above are some fav's)
during raising Paisley's litter a few years ago she allowed Gracen to lay above the whelping box
on Christi's bed to watch their little ones growing up
on Christi's bed to watch their little ones growing up
the two loved any type of Healthy Treat
like Salmon etc. between meals it was a good way for her to add calories and Omega 3 fish oils for the pups developing coats... and for Gracen... well we wanted to thank him for making such cuties !

we used to travel back and forth to the Petsmart in Charlotte from Monroe picking up bags of dog food and supplies for worming etc. then came Chewy, they contacted us years ago and we love the working relationship we have with them.
It saves so much time and gas going to pick up dog supplies we are very thankful for how fast they deliver literally the next day in most cases one of our boarders told us they live near the Charlotte Chewy distribution center and their orders are same day in some cases ! Shipping is Free for orders over $49.
a bag of food and toys and treats and your there no problem.

when Sadie Mae's owner's were adopting her from us they sent cans of Eukanuba puppy food to help us feed the pups and Iams puppy for her mom Cindy who was still nursing her at the time. We can't thank them enough for all the thoughtful ways they have helped the kids and I in our mission to raise healthy and happy future family members for others to enjoy for many many years to come. You are what you eat is so true
and how we feed their baby while its here matters to our adoptees and they love helping us feed them right.

they agreed to let her return to us when she was old enough to breed . She had an adorable litter for us.
they got to have her board with us while at the beach that summer in exchange. As she raised the pups here they visited always arriving with items in hand to help us as we raised the Litlle Love Bugs !! |
Honestly we work with some of the most Generous folks ever, it really has helped this single mom over the years ( we didnt ask the Ex for any child support) we wanted to do the dogs and he didnt so we parted ways when the kids were little and they worked hard to help mom all these years to create the kind of housepets
we wanted to make for Beagle lovers who appreciate our sincere efforts.

puppies are teething before they leave us
so rawhide bones, or sticks are very handy around
here for us to have on hand ,

Gracen loves Bully Sticks too :) these are a favorite of most dogs because they last longer than rawhides.
and greenies are always helpful for us to give out. we share these type things with the pups the as they are teething here, and dogs, and often someone who traveled a distance to pick up their new puppy and forgot to bring things to entertain them in the car on the road back home :) we just want everyone to have the best experience they can adopting our hand raised beagle babies.
Paisley's boarding pup Beamer got a box from chewy his owners sent so he had food and treats to enjoy
and share while he was staying with us during their trip to Canada this summer.

for a very healthy treat we love giving Tylee's chicken jerky , it has no additives at All !
for a apparently realllly yummy treat when your sunshine beagle has been extra good....
these are irresistible !
these are irresistible !
Another not as popular Product we have noticed is these less calorie treats. Gracen isn't interested in much,
but on the other hand when Big Boy Tri colored "Coop's " stayed with us recently , he did like them and being overweight we didn't feel guilty sharing these with him :)

a new one we tried Carnivore Crunch is a Favorite of the daddy of many of our litters "Gracen" who is Miss Christina's constant companion :)
we think its equally important for not just our mom's to eat healthy when making our babies... but the daddies are just as crucial for good Gene's to create the babes.
now if this was a Full Moon Chicken Jerky it would be in his mouth and not just being looked at... lol
Chewy carries many variety's of Full Moon Jerky from Deer meat , duck and Bison to name a few we would love to try that sound very beneficial to the newborns development .
there are many wonderful healthy goodies we love receiving to give the Nursing moms to help make their colostrum rich milk to feed the little love bugs... all are so appreciated !!
having lots of healthy meat based treats helps us spoil our expectant moms
as they are making your new family member :)
as they are making your new family member :)
for the past 30 + years Miss Christina has spoiled our expectant mom's ... this day she adds Chunks of
Chicken to their food for additional Nutrition that goes right to her babies as they are being made. We have always said the dogs pay for everything for us so we can share our food they paid for it ... lol |
we think this makes for very Happy Healthy Little Beagle Babies here at Sunshine Acres beagle puppies!
years ago a repeat customer donated a K-cup Machine to our efforts to raise her 2nd puppy :)
then hovers over the newborns around the clock till all the little newborns are stable and safe to fall in love with then one by one we let preapproved folks know when we have one we feel is a good match :)
we do have a link to Walmart on our tips page for things like Coffee.. we love any kind . Pods or Ground.
when they brought Expectant mom "Sadie Mae" out her family donated another box of wee wee pads
so we are good on those for a while. They also gave us a bag of Towels to use when the little ones arrive so Miss C. can help her dry each one. We do still need a few more flat sheets if anyone has some they get changed out a lot, and its always helpful to have more on hand. |
thanks to Sadie Mae's family we have plenty of Wee Wee Pads now for when its time to paper train the new learning puppies.
and please let us know what you did in case the box arrives as a Pleasant surprise to us,
as often happens in the past, just as we would run out of something ,
our needs were met right out of the blue !

Unfortunately we don't receive any referral fees for Amazon shipments the way we do with Chewy.
We do very much appreciate anything sent to us to help us of course wherever it comes to us from:)
we do understand free shipping for Prime members , you do get free shipping with Chewy orders over $49
Originally we got a one time $15. referral fee for each new email address that used our link to purchase
anything from Chewy. Just last week we were contacted by them to say we qualify for a special
deal with them whereas we now get a percentage of the total sales someone makes thru our link
from then on if they go to chewy using our link ! Wow that could be a real help for us when we are
between litters as we have been recently, and will be once the new pups are adopted this Fall.

we love getting puppy care packages from folks who send items for the littermates too .
Returning customers sent baby blankets for the littermates so each could have the scent of their siblings in their new home/family to comfort them the first few days apart from us.

And we recycle the chewy boxes by sending pups home in them sometimes lol..
this last Christmas a returning customer drove down and brought back pups to 2 other returning customers who lived on their route home... how amazing is that ...
the pups get used to being in the box for the trip home gradually here first and get their scents on one another's blankets, and toys so they have something familiar in their new environments.
just click on the Chewy box above to go to their site from ours so we get credit for all your purchases.
It doesn't cost a penny more for you, but can make a big difference for us when accepting Rescues or
just maintaining our doggies in between having litters to adopt here in Miss Christina's Hobby Kennel in NC.
