1. Sleeping basket or dog bed
2. Blankets
3. Two dishes or bowls (for water and dog food)
4. Dog Food
5. Leash and collar
6. Toys
7. Pet carrier
8. Grooming tools and equipment
9. Fleece t-shirts

A cave like bed is a good choice for a small toy dog. Most small dogs feel very comfortable in a bed they can curl up in and retreat to at any time. Dog beds come in a variety of styles. For short-haired breeds, small wicker baskets make excellent dog beds.

An easy-care soft blanket or heavy bath towel folded to fit the bed makes an excellent padding for your toy dog bed. Washable pads that can be disinfected are available for dog beds.
