Recommended Labrador Gear & Video Review Hub (Coming Soon!)
At Sierra Valley Labs, we believe that raising, training, and caring for a healthy Labrador Retriever starts with using the right equipment. Over our years of breeding and working with Labs, we’ve personally tested countless dog products—from heavy-duty crates and retriever training gear to vet-approved first aid items, grooming tools, and interactive puzzles. We constantly upgrade the recommended products for your lab.
We are currently building out our complete Labrador Product Review Hub, featuring hands-on video reviews, field tests, and honest recommendations on our official YouTube channel!
What We’re Currently Reviewing & Recommending:
-
Crate Training & Bedding: Heavy-duty double-door wire crates, privacy covers, and orthopedic crate mats sized specifically for growing Labrador puppies.
-
Puppy Health & First Aid: Essential wound sprays, safe antihistamine dosages, skin care, and complete dog first-aid kits.
-
Retriever & Hunting Gear: Training pouches, long check cords, dummy bumpers, and Momarsh blinds/platforms for field work.
-
Grooming & Paw Care: Electric nail grinders, ear cleaning wipes for water-loving Labs, and portable paw cleaners.
-
Enrichment & Interactive Toys: KONG teething rubber toys, durable lick mats, and treat puzzle games to keep active Labs mentally engaged.
Stay tuned as we upload detailed video walkthroughs, durability testing, and direct recommendations for every stage of your Labrador’s life!

Recommended Products for your Labrador
Crate Training
We recommend the midwest 42" crate with two doors. The doors are on the end and side so it can be positioned anyway you need. It comes with a divider so the crate will work for the life of your dog. They also make beds that fit inside and covers to make your dog feel more secure in his crate
Food and treats
We use Diamond Naturals Large breed puppy. We have searched Chewy's, Petsmart, Petco and Tractor Supply and they all have the same price. With Amazon Prime you get it delivered free for the same price.
First Aid
Flea and Tick
We use and recommend K9 Advantix II and Frontline Plus. They are monthly topically applied flea and tick preventive. They work very well and we've never had a problem with either fleas or ticks. There are 3 sizes of both. Each pack has multiple months. We just put the date on our phone calendar and it reminds us so we never miss it. We now buy the same thing as Frontline plus called ZoGuard plus at Costco for $20 for 6 months, its located in the dog food aisle.
