Dog bowls Every dog needs to eat, so make sure you get as a minimum two dog bowls. One for their food and the other for their water.The bigger the dog the bigger the bowl. A large dog water bowl is always more effective as water evaporates and some spills over in the process of drinking.
Dog collar Every dog needs a dog collar to keep them at arms length. A dog collar is used for two purposes one to hand the tag of your dog that has normally their name and contact details if they get lost and a sign of registration with the local council. The other use is so that a leash can be attached to it.
Bedding this one is optional depending on the size of your dog. For small dogs, a small thick blanket with a few pillows can create a comfortable place pretty quickly but for larger dog, a large bed is suitable as they are larger and require a large comfortable bed to keep them happy all day and night. Making one for them is possible but the ready to go beds are so much better for the long term.
Leash A dog leash is only useful with a dog collar. It has only one purpose and that is to have control of your dog when taken out in public. Get a strong leash as dog small or big are very strong animals.
Toys Whether you are at home all day or not, a dog is a very playful pet. You need to ensure you get them toys so they can keep themselves entertained. Also a good tennis ball is the best and cheapest toy when taking them to the park or in your back yard.
