On the market (off and online) there is a huge, bewildering range of equipment and products designed specially for dogs – many described as something your pet just can’t live without. However, many of these items are not essential. You won’t need a great deal of equipment to care for your new adult dog or puppy, and what you actually do need tends not to be very expensive.
The basic dog equipment and tools you will need are as follows (you can add to these later as you wish or require).
1. Food and Water Bowls

Your dog should have his own food and water bowls, which can’t be tripped over. Glazed ceramic or stainless steel bowls are the best as they can be cleaned most hygienically and can’t be chewed, but plastic ones will likewise do.
2. Bed and Bedding

3. Poop Scooper
