No, they don't.
What I did is, I went through the first cube and took all items and a good group and explored it. Then I went back out and restarted the cube with only doggy and recruited animals. I went straight to the end of that cube and finished it.
The second one I believe can also be done quite easily without items, so I kept them all for Katie's group. You can't, however, leave the second one too after exploring or you'll have to start all over with doggy's group.
