Getting a puppy is exciting, but remember that it is a living organism, and you must provide them with the best care possible. A good start is a training crate, so they can master potty training and get accustomed to the enclosure. Place a dog bed or blanket inside for them for added warmth and comfort. Your pup will need a feeding bowl, water bowl and suitable food for your GSD (German Shepherd Dog). You will also need a leash and a collar which you can personalise with your dog’s name or address. If you don’t want to put this information on their collar, there are also tracking chips that your vet can insert.
Be sure to keep a good supply of cleaning products, treats, toys, grooming products and medication handy. Pups eventually become full-grown adults. GSDs are not small dogs, so consider items your puppy can use as they grow.
