Introduction

Welcome to the world of being a boxer owner! It’s an exciting time, but it can also be overwhelming. You’re getting ready to bring home a puppy (or maybe even adult dog) that will be with you for many years. This means you’ll need some essentials: food, water bowls, and toys are all pretty much standard. But what else do you need? Below we’ll go over all the basics of what you should get when you bring your new boxer puppy home—from crates and collars to brushes and grooming tools.

Crate (with divider)

Your boxer will need a crate. A crate is a safe place for your boxer to sleep when you’re not around, or even when you are. It also gives them their own space when they want it.

Your puppy needs this because he or she won’t know how to tell you when they need to go potty yet. A crate will help keep accidents contained, and it will prevent accidents in the first place if your dog has an accident and then gets in trouble because of it (they may decide not to go back into their cage after that happens).

You should get one with a divider so that as they grow older, they can have more room without being able to be destructive if left alone too long without supervision (which would happen if the entire interior of their home were larger than what was available at first).

Good food for your boxer puppy

• The most important thing to remember when it comes to feeding your boxer puppy is that they’re growing rapidly, and they need a balanced diet that will help them grow up strong.
• If you’re feeding a puppy, it’s important to feed them a high quality food that contains all the nutrients they need as a growing dog. Your breeder may have given you sample bags or explained how much your pup should be eating each day—and if so, use those instructions as a guideline for how much kibble (dry food) or canned food (wet food) you should feed your boxer in order for him or her to maintain their current weight and health.

Training treats

A great way to train your boxer puppy is with training treats. You can use these treats to teach your puppy to sit, lay down, stay and more! Training treats are also good for rewarding good behavior!

Tie out or long leash

A tie out or long leash is a great training tool. You can use it to keep your puppy safe while they’re learning how to walk on a leash and what “no” means, especially when they get excited and want to run off. Tie outs are also useful for teaching your boxer not to pull on their leashes, which is important for keeping them safe as well as for making walks more enjoyable for both of you.

Collar and leash – durable & comfortable

Collar and leash

The collar should be comfortable and not too tight. We do not recommend the breakaway kind of collar unless you want to lose your dog, as they are more likely to slip off if he were to get caught on something. The leash should be long enough to give you some slack, but not so long that it could become tangled or wrapped around something else in the house or yard. If possible, get one made of a material that won’t hurt your hands (like cotton). A proper walk requires some tugging from time-to-time!

Nail clippers

Nail clippers are a must-have item for any new boxer owner. They’re easy to use, and they’ll save you from a lot of potential headaches down the road. You should buy the right size for your boxer puppy so that you can keep his nails short enough that he doesn’t accidentally hurt himself, but not so short that he has trouble walking on hard surfaces like wood floors. If you don’t have clippers, you can use a nail file instead; though this takes longer than clipping them off with clippers, it’s still an option if need be!

If you don’t want to invest in clippers just yet (or can’t find them), know that there are other options out there as well: some people even grind their dog’s nails with a grinder! However expensive this might seem at first glance—and trust us when we say it is—it will save money in the long run because having a professional groomer trim your dog’s nails costs significantly more money than buying one good pair of clippers (or two) every year or two yourself.

A brush for boxers

A brush is an essential item for your boxer puppy. It’s designed to remove loose hair and dirt, which can keep your boxer’s coat healthy. There are three basic types of brushes:

• Slicker Brushes – These have a fine metal comb with stiff nylon bristles on one side and soft rubber bristles on the other. They’re best for long coats, because they pull out loose fur without damaging it or causing static electricity (which can cause tangles).
• Pin Brushes – This has rows of long metal pins at one end and thick bristles at the other end. The pins are meant to be used on wet or damp fur, while the bristle head is used for dry brushing to remove dead skin cells from your dog’s coat so that it shines! It’s great for short-haired dogs too if you want them looking extra fancy 🙂
• Rake Comb/Puppy Comb – This tool has two different sides: one is wide with teeth like a rake; while another narrow side has more flexible teeth similar to those found in a standard brush.”

Getting all the basic items you’ll need as a boxer owner is essential.

You’ll need a crate for your boxer puppy. This is one of the most essential items you’ll need as a new boxer owner. A crate can help your dog learn to relax, and it’s also useful when you don’t have time to supervise him while he’s in the house. It can also help with potty training (when used properly).

You’ll want high-quality food for your boxer puppy. Wait until he’s been with you for at least a week before switching him to his own diet, so he doesn’t get an upset tummy from eating something new after being on kibble or canned food from the shelter/breeder/wherever else he came from.

If you’re going to start training classes with him after he adjusts (which is recommended), then invest in some training treats that are especially appealing to boxers! There are lots of different options out there – find something that works for both of you! You can also use these treats as rewards during playtime too… which brings us nicely onto our third point: tie outs or long leashes! Tie outs keep your pup safe while allowing them freedom within certain parameters (like no jumping off balcony rails) while long leashes allow them freedom within even more parameters (like chasing squirrels up trees). Both come in handy once they start running around outside after school has let out… but first comes fourth point: collar & leash – durable & comfortable! Your dog needs these items so they don’t get tangled up if someone pulls too hard on their leash; however if possible pick one made specifically for boxers so it’ll be easier

to see through thick fur without poking any open sores underneath.”

Conclusion

If you have the right tools and equipment, training your boxer puppy can be a fun and rewarding experience. The best part is that all of these items are available at Petco, so you can get everything you need in one place!
