HARNESS
It is very important to have harness for the journey home and for the future car rides (for your own and for your dogs safety)
WATER AND FOOD BOWLS
Variety of bowls are huge, so it is going to be easy to find the one you like. Make sure water bowl is always full.
BLANKET
It creates a cosy feeling for your puppy then he/she is wrapped in it.
