What should I get for my Doberman puppy?

Big Dog | July 21st, 2010
Before you get a Doberman puppy, you should prepare for the arrival. This means: making the house /flat dog-friendly and purchasing all necessary stuff for your new family member. If you think that a Doberman doesn’t need a lot of things – you are wrong. So let’s see the to-do list, and the shopping list before the arrival of the puppy.
To do:

- Find a vet. Maybe the best solution is if you choose a vet, who was recommended by your dog-owner friends – this way you can avoid surprises

- Take away all the ‘dangerous’ stuff from the flat/house that a puppy might slip on or destroy, this w ay you’ll keep both your puppy and yourself safe. Dangerous stuff can be: cables, poisonous plants and practically anything that can be chewed.

- Find a place which will be considered as the lil’ Dobie’s own place. It is very important to have a place where he can go away, if he wants.

- Tell your neighbours about the arrival of your new pet, and introduce him soon after his arrival to all people and pets that live in the surrounding area.
- Find an obedience school. It might be pricey, but definitely worth it.

Shopping list:
- puppy pad – for the first times
- dog bed (it can be a blanket, or anything that he can lay on) – to have his very own place
- dog crate, if necessary, or a small dog-house in the garden- chew toys (massive ones:)), rawhides – if you don’t want your shoes to be chewed- dog dishes
- collar and leash, or harness, if you prefer
- muzzle

This is the most necessary equipment. You will find tons of more things at dog stores, make sure you have all basic things to get prepared for your beautiful Dobie’s arrival!
Have a good time!

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!
