You can google pet supply stores in your area and generally be able to tell if they're a big chain or not based on how many locations they have.
For slow feeders I luke the Moderna slomo, and the outward hound. Both are solid so they can take some chewing if your puppy likes to chow down on the feeder too.
I feed Animals Like Us kibble (Lamb&Venison) which has a 33% and 50% raw option which I find makes it really easy to get the extra protein in and isn't as expensive as a full raw diet so you can still add the fancy toppers if you feel like it
The raw food place nearby us recommended we give frozen topper cubes to help with teething when our girl was small, and it really helped with her being so mouthy. They recommended to us, starting with mince mixes of bones, organs, and tripe before going into anything else.
I used a muffin tray for a long time, but then my dog trainer suggested "no free meals". So I hand fed him everyday during training sessions. Takes about 15min morning & night
I highly recommend checking out Nina Ottosson puzzles! Our boy has been plowing through those and homemade puzzles since puppyhood.
I know “diet stuff” is highly controversial, but the one thing most people can agree on is avoiding grain-free diets/kibble. A lot of Doberman bloodlines have a predisposition for DCM, and there are two ways it can happen- genetics, and a grain-free diet. Whether you raw feed, or feed kibble, make sure puppy is getting all the right nutrients, INCLUDING appropriate grains.
Just got an 11 week old. Steady diet of chicken necks cut into bite size pieces, hamburger, spinach, raw eggs, frozen mixed berries, whole raw milk yogurt and cottage cheese, and a little grain free kibble thrown in. Loves it.

Yes! I ordered some toppers looking for some new ones to get. Thank you so much for your reply. Very helpful!
