Metal or ceramic feeding and water bowls are best because you can easily sanitize them in the dishwasher or hand wash with bleach. Skip plastic.

Un-sanitized feeding and water bowls are the number one cause for diarrhea in animals due to their growth of bacteria.  Wash their bowls well and  often. 

We highly recommend crate training.  A 30- 32" wire crate is sufficient. The two door crates are convenient. For now, skip the fluffy crate beds.  Towels for easy washing are best to begin with.  Nice bedding can be added at a later time. 

Of course a thin blanket would also work, but a kennel cover is excellent for crate training.  They provide security and a den like atmosphere for your new puppy.  

Puppies grow quickly in the beginning.  They will not use the XS size long, but small will likely be too large.  We recommend getting an XS, but doing so knowing you will need to size up fairly quickly.  

Safety first! 

Etsy is my favorite place to support small, personal businesses.  They have so many options for personalized, well everything!
