Stella Maris SamoyedsWhat we use
Shop Our Samoyed Favourites
Everything here is chosen for this breed specifically — a dense double coat that blows twice a year, a strong working dog, and an arctic animal living somewhere that gets warm. Tap any item to view it on Amazon.
Maxpower Planet Grooming Rake
The undercoat rake. During a coat blow this is the only tool that actually clears dead undercoat — a slicker alone just moves it around.

Chris Christensen Big G Slicker Brush
The brush serious double-coat people use. Expensive once, rather than cheap four times, and it reaches the skin without scratching it.
View on Amazon →
Stainless Steel Grooming Comb
The honest test. If the comb passes cleanly from skin to tip, the dog is genuinely brushed out — if it snags, you are not finished.

SHELANDY Pet Force Dryer
A high-velocity dryer blasts loose coat and water out at the skin. Turns a two-hour job into twenty minutes and pays for itself in a season.

Casfuy Dog Nail Grinder
Quieter than clippers and far less risk of catching the quick, which matters on a dog that would rather you did not.

MidWest 42" iCrate with Divider
Buy the adult size on day one and move the divider forward as the puppy grows. A Samoyed finishes around 45–60 lb.

Amazon Basics Elevated Cooling Bed
Airflow underneath beats padding on top for an arctic breed in summer. The single most useful bed you can buy for this coat.
View on Amazon →
Amazon Basics Stainless Bowls
Stainless, not plastic. Plastic scratches, holds bacteria and is a common cause of chin acne in dogs.
View on Amazon →
MidWest Exercise Pen
A safe space bigger than a crate for the first months, and it folds flat when you are done with it.
View on Amazon →
Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odour Eliminator
Enzymatic, so it destroys the scent marker rather than masking it. Ordinary cleaners leave a signpost a puppy will return to.
View on Amazon →
Martingale Collar with Quick Release
A thick ruff and a narrow head mean a flat collar can slip straight over it. A martingale tightens just enough that it cannot.
View on Amazon →
rabbitgoo No-Pull Harness
Adjustable at four points, with a front clip for a dog still learning that pulling is not the job.
View on Amazon →
Braided Leather Leash, 6 ft
Kinder on your hands than nylon when a strong dog surges, and it softens with age rather than fraying. Never a retractable.
View on Amazon →
Hi Kiss Long Line, 30 ft
For recall practice in open country. Off-lead reliability in this breed is a long project, not a given.
View on Amazon →
Bedsure ArcticMax Cooling Mat
No power, no freezer — it works off body heat. Built for the arctic and living wherever you live, summer is the season to plan for.
View on Amazon →
Musher’s Secret Paw Balm
Made for sled dogs, which tells you everything. Protects against salted winter roads and ice balling between the toes.
View on Amazon →
Adjustable Snuffle Mat
Turns a bowl of food into twenty minutes of work. The cheapest sanity available to anyone with a clever working breed.
View on Amazon →
Potaroma Two-Level Puzzle Feeder
Slows a fast eater and occupies a smart one. Move up a level once they solve it, which they will.
View on Amazon →
Lick Mats, 2 Pack
Spread and freeze. Excellent for settling a puppy, and for keeping one still through a grooming session.
View on Amazon →
KONG Extreme Dog Toy
Through teething and long after. If you cannot dent it with a thumbnail it will probably survive a Samoyed.
View on Amazon →
Nutramax Cosequin Joint Supplement
The joint supplement most vets actually name. Worth a conversation with yours as a working breed matures.
View on Amazon →
Zesty Paws Salmon Oil
Omega-3 for coat and skin condition. Buy small bottles and keep it cool — fish oil goes rancid faster than people expect.
View on Amazon →
Tick Remover Kit
Montana, Idaho, and anywhere with long grass. Keep one in the car and one in the walking bag.
View on Amazon →
Vet-Approved Dog First Aid Kit
Especially if you hike. Add the tick tool and a spare slip lead and it covers most of what goes wrong out there.
