LeighAnn put together this helpful list:
Walk into any pet supply stores and the choices are enormous. How do you know what you really need? The following are things cavalier owners have found necessary and useful.
Crate
Blanket, pillow or something soft for the bottom of the crate
Food (best to stick with what the breeder feeds at first)
Water, food bowls
Variety of toys (your puppy will let you know what his favorites are)
Leash
Collar
Brush
Clippers for nails and/or trimming if you plan to do it yourself
Shampoo
Baby gates may be neccesary during the housebreaking stage
Lots of film! Cavalier puppies are very photogenic!
For a list items recommended for housebreaking, look in the topic about housebreaking a puppy.
