Never had a puppy before, only older dogs. But I convinced my dad into letting me have one. But what are the supllies needed for it? It's a female 8 week dobe that we're planning on getting, so we want to get all the supplies that we would need, crate? toys? brand of food? etc . And yes I have done my research into the breed, we have the time, money, space, and patience for a puppy. But I can't find an online list of what I need before the puppy gets here.
Answer
I think that supplies would be similar for any dog but on food, you should follow the breeders preference. I suggest using the same brand of food that the breeder or owner of the dog has now. You can slowly get your dog to eat other food by mixing the two foods together a little at a time. Your dog with need a Crate(Wire crate) big enough for your puppy when she will be fully grown. As of now, block off all the excess space in the crate allowing the puppy enough room to get up, turn around, and lie down comfortably because your dog might sleep on one end and eliminate on the other. You will need a crate pad, but you can use some blankets.A collar or harness and a leash. ID tags are always beneficial and getting micro chipped is even more safe(but not necessary). Flee and tick supplies recommended by your vet. Food and water bowls Dobermans usually require very little grooming because they do not have undercoats so its your call on brushes but dental products are required. Ask your vet which products he/she recommends. Pick up bags and pet friendly cleaning products for any accidents. TOYS TOYS and more TOYS! Dobermans tend to be hyper breeds therefore lots of exercise and toys are a good way to keep them from being destructive, especially while teething. Sometimes toys that you can wet and then freeze work best for teething puppies because it soothes their gums. Training treats and toys are also recommended. Any more questions you should ask the breeder or your vet.

What is the best way to use a Kong toy in a dog crate?
jjuulliiee
My friend stuffs hers with peanut butter and other treats. How do you all use yours? I have a pitbull and need to keep her entertained in the crate. I am looking for ideas -- even other than a Kong toy -- for a heavy chewer. Thanks!
Answer
My dogs have the largest kongs an i fill them 1/4 of the way with a diffrent (sam brand diffrent flavor) dog food then they normaly get. then fill the rest with peanut butter or wet dog food then i stick in the freezer because it takes them longer to get through them. A few other ideas you can buy bones that are already stuffed and restuff them, Nylabones are good too they tend to last longer then rawhide bones and are saffer. i love greenies also they last a while not as long as frozen kongs or nylabones but they freshen breath. somtimes dog trainers have wonderfull ideas and most large chain petstores have one on staff to help if there is a petsmart near you i have always had good luck with there trainers.
Good Luck!!
