+1 to chewy, especially for food. I got two bad batches of dog food from Amazon so I stick with chewy for food items now. Toys and non-food items are substantially cheaper on Amazon though.
Also, you can usually find crates for cheap on craigslist since a lot of people only use them for the puppy stage. Just make sure to disinfect well if you get a used one.

I order quality dog and cat food online -- amazon has lots of options, or chewy.com.
I get dog coats from horse stores. They are much higher quality, actually warm and made for active dogs. Not "dress up" outfits like the coats at pet stores.
When your dog is fully grown, consider buying a rolled leather collar from Fennell's in Kentucky. It's a lifetime purchase -- not cheap but beautiful and will last your pet as long as they are with you. Rolled leather is better for their neck fur. Also you can get a custom plate for it with the dog's name, address and phone # -- great so he can be identified without the annoying jingle of pet tags.
