Food & water bowls
Stainless steel or ceramic is easiest to sanitize and won't leach BPA. Elevated stands suit large dogs; slow-feeders help fast eaters and reduce bloat risk.

Crates
Choose a crate just large enough for your dog to stand, turn, and lie down. Wire crates fold for travel; plastic crates feel more den-like. Avoid soft crates for chewers.

Leashes & harnesses
A 6-foot flat leash is the everyday standard. Front-clip harnesses help with pulling; back-clip suits trained walkers. Avoid retractable leashes in busy areas.
