I need to make a new puppy checklist since I always seem to forget what I need when I go to the store. I am asking to make sure I have everything I need. Thanks for the Answers!
P.S. Can you please give it to me from Most Important to least. I will appreciate it! Thanks Again for the Answers!
Answer
1. Food (GOOD food, meat should be the first ingredient)
2. Sturdy food and water bowls
3. A collar
4. ID tags
5. Leash
6. Crate/kennel
7. Bed
8. Obedience treats
9. Dental treats/chews
10. Flea treatment
11. Brush
12. Dog shampoo
13. Cuddly toy
14. Chew toys
15. Fetch toys
That'll get you started. You can get grooming supplies like teeth cleaner, nail clippers, etc. later on as you need them, and the same with things like baby gates and bark control tools. Food, collar/ID, a leash, a bed and a kennel should be the big priority. You can always pick up more stuff later on. In my experience, you'll always end up getting (and needing) more toys and treat varieties than you think.
Petsmart also has its own new puppy checklist that you can use as a reference. You won't need/want everything on there, but it's a good helper.

Prepare for a looonnnggg answer!
1- Water Bowl - Food Bowl (Usually the water bowl is larger than food bowl - I recommend buying stainless steel bowls as plastic bowls tend to hold more bacteria - Her bowls should be washed after each meal)
2-Leash and Collar (Your puppy will be so active so she'll need 2 to 3 walks per day - You need to buy the perfect size for your dog's collar - Please don't buy retractable leash to teach your dog to walk next to you , now wander around - Also don't buy chock collars because it's painful for dogs)
3-Crate (It's great to crate train your puppy at young age - You should buy a wire crate as it will let your dog be more comfortable and can see through)
4-Bed (Well it doesn't have to be a fancy bed , just something soft and comfy for your little pup - I recommend that you should buy the bed when your puppy is a dog because she may chew on the bed when she is young. You should use a blanket or a pillow for her until she grows.)
5- Grooming tools (That includes Brushes , Nail clipper , Doggy shampoo , Towels) (You can start bathing your puppy when she is 4 to 5 months , so you'd give a chance for her coat to grow. - Don't bathe her except when she is dirty , or you can bathe her max. once every month.)
6- Name tag (If your dog gets lost , anyone who will find his ID he'll call your number to give you your dog back)
7- Quality Puppy Food (There are good brands out there , In my opinion the best dog food is "Blue Buffalo" - You should feed your dog puppy food until she is 1 to 1 and half years old because puppy food contains more nutrition , and when she turns 1 year and 6 months start feeding her adult dog food)
8- Tooth Brush and Tooth Paste (Many people ignore brushing their dog's teeth since they believe it's not important . Brushing your dog's teeth is highly recommended , it will prevent long term problems (i.e. kidney failure, bad breath, rotting teeth, etc.)
9- Treats and bones (When your puppy is young she'll need treats to motivate her and make her learn things easier. RAW bones , never give your puppy cooked bones or else it will splinter her stomach. You can start giving her bones at age of 6 months and make sure she chews them , One of my dogs when she was young used to swallow everything including bones !!)
10-Puppy Training pads - Newspaper
11- Winter clothing (If you live in a place where it's cold , you'd better buy some heavy clothes for your puppy to keep her warm on walks.
12- Vet (Choose a well known vet and make sure he/she is good)
13- Safe dogs' toys (make sure that the toys are not small so your puppy doesn't swallow it. Some knotted ropes , balls , stuffed animals , squeaky toys will do it.)
14- Things that dogs should NEVER eat (Avocado - Alcohol - Onions and Garlic - Coffee, Tea, and Other Caffeine - Grapes and Raisins - Milk and Other Dairy Products -Macadamia Nuts - Candy and Gum - Chocolate - Fat Trimmings and Bones - Persimmons, Peaches, and Plums - Raw Eggs - Raw Meat and Fish - Salt - Sugary Foods and Drinks - Yeast Dough )
15- Some fruits that are Safe ( Slices of apples, oranges, bananas, and watermelon make tasty treats for your dog. Be sure to remove any seeds first, though. Seeds, stems, and leaves can cause serious problems.)
16- Some veggies that are safe ( Your dog can have a healthy snack of carrot sticks, green beans, cucumber slices, or zucchini slices. Even a plain baked potato is OK. Be sure, though, not to let your dog eat any raw potatoes or any potato plants it might have access to in your garden.)
Exercise
GSDs need a good walk for an our every day without fail. They need mental stimulation too, like a good dog puzzle toy you can get on amazon. Taking him to agility and flyball exercises will benefit!
