hi there! so your silky terrier is arriving this month huh? great!! Smile

as for your list:

1. crate (what kind is better though?)
silky terriers are very small so a small crate should be ok.

2. water bottle

3. dog food (what brand again)
it depends on your preference and budget. some dogs thrive on certain brands of dog food while others don't. but do get at least a premium or super premium grade kibble or better still, holistic kibble.

4. eating bowls

5 combs

6. shampoo

7. leash (to take her out for walks or if you can train her to walk off-leash, then you don need one Smile)

8. toys

9. treats

....emm....can't think of anything else now.......we should ask eve (lulugurl) for help!!!!

hi

for the eating bowl, it's good if you buy heavier ones (not those light plastic ones)... if not it'd be easily tipped over and might make a mess :)

This is my experience. If you want to feed your furkid with dog food, please don feed him/her with human food even though he/she beg for it.

Prepare some towers (dry the coat after bathing), cloth for him/her.

One more thing you have to prepare, your love Smile.

Smile Eliza

as for your list:

1. crate (what kind is better though?)
u should get those around the size of a pet voyager 300-400 type..not to say u must buy the brand, just telling u the size.

2. water bottle

3. dog food (what brand again)
it depends on your preference and budget. some dogs thrive on certain brands of dog food while others don't. but do get at least a premium or super premium grade kibble or better still, holistic kibble.

4. eating bowls

5 combs

those brush type and also a slicker and a wide tooth comb will do

6. shampoo

7. leash (to take her out for walks or if you can train her to walk off-leash, then you don need one Smile)

8. toys

9. treats

10. Towel

for (3) dog food... Pls. check with the previous owner, it's recommended to continue the existing brand for a moment, before you switch to a new brand

Smile
