Puppy Supplies for your German Shepherd puppy

Premium pet food like "Royal Canin Maxi 30 or 32" or Iams Large Breed Puppy food to get your new puppy off to a good start.

Stainless steel, non-tip food and water bowls.

Identification tags with your puppy's name, your name, phone number and your veterinarian's name and phone number.

A collar and a leather or nylon 6-foot leash that's 1/2 - 3/4 inches wide (consider using a "breakaway" collar with plastic clips that will unsnap in case your puppy gets hung up on something).

A home and travel crate that's airline approved and will accommodate your puppy's adult size. This crate will serve as your puppy's new "den" at home, when traveling or riding to the veterinarian's office. His scent in the crate will provide comfort and a sense of security during these stressful times.

• Stain remover for accidental soiling.
• Brushes and combs suited to your puppy's coat; ask your veterinarian or breeder about an appropriate brush or comb for your dog.
• Dog shampoo, toothbrush and paste.
• High-quality, safe chew toys to ease teething.
• Flea, tick and parasite controls.
• Nail clippers.
• Treats
