Big, indestructable toys….you may think I’m crazy, but I have a Mastiff (giant like the Saint) and I buy horse toys for him. He still destroys them but they last a little longer. Get some hand towels to wipe the pups mouth, a raised feeder, and good quality dog food for Giant Breeds.

chew toys
…that’s just about it, besides the ones you mentioned.

The best thing to know when getting a St. Bernard is that your furniture is in jeopardy! Thats not always a bad thing!!!! I would invest in some chew toys, and make sure to reprimand the dog if it chews your things up. Are you getting a puppy or an adult St. Bernard, your not real clear on that!
You can check out Petco or Petsmart for all kinds of great K9 products. They even have training videos too.
I have to agree with Marina above, buy horse toys for it, so they last longer than a few days!

*bed
*toys
*food and water boals
*crate ONLY if you want to crate train but its not an essential ( i own a german shepherd and dont crate and he’s fine and well behaved)
*PET INSURANCE
*good book on the breed
*training classes lined up. (st bernards are working dogs and need dicipline and tasks)
*collars
*leads
as for websites try : and type in st bernards. theres lots of info on them

Just go to dog. Even if you go in the store, they can help.
But Basically, you would need…
1.Brush
2.Shampoo
3.A bed
4.A roller hair picker up thing.(you know what I mean? Those rolling things that pick up hair)
And regular thigns a regular dog would need…

I would recommend the following:
Brush
handheld spot remover (shampoo machine)
Breed specific book
A good vet
Pet insurance
Pooper scooper
training collars
leather lead & collar (2 inches or larger for the adult)
vitamins and suppliments (calcium is great for growing pups)
beware of dog signs
contact you home insurer about the breed to insure you are covered.
hope this was some help!
