Any airline will tell you what they accept and what their requirements for travel with a pet are. You can go to any pet food store and get other items too.

Q. i just got a new dog i want to be able to swim with him go for walks and jogs and take baths what do i get?
Answer
{Food and water bowls}
This is a must have for you before you bring your four legged friend home. You can either use the steel bowls from your kitchen or can buy it from any pet's accessory shops. If you want and if you have decided on the name for your dog you can get his or her name scribbled on the bowls.
{Puppy or dog food/Treats}
This is again a must have. You might be excited to feed him what you are eating, however it is advisable to give your four legged friend especially created dog food as it will be well balanced food required by your dog for necessary growth and total well being. Also, soft and tiny treats work best for training.
{Dog's first aid kit and a book on first aid}
You never know when your inquisitive puppy or dog can hurt himself or herself. Hence a dog's first aid kit is a must have and of course a book on first aid will definitely come handy in case of emergencies. As a dog owner you should know how to help a choking dog, how to perform CPR, and how to stop bleeding and in such cases the book on first aid kit will come handy. Also keep the 24 hours emergency number in a place where you can access it easily. Like near your phone or store it in your cell phone.
{Good veterinarian}
Choosing a good vet is a must for new dog owners as a new pet should be taken to the vet as soon as possible. The vet will inform you about all the necessary vaccinations for your new friend and when should they be given.
{Leash or harness}
Your new friend would need his daily walks and hence a leash or harness is a must have for a new owner. While buying a leash ensure that is a nylon one and is stretchable so that you don't feel the pull when your friend starts his or her exploring spree.
{Dog collar}
Without a dog collar you will not be able to leash the dog. Hence it is a must have for a pet dog. Also it will differentiate it from the street dogs.
{ID tags and microchip}
Your new friend must wear an ID tag with the details like: your name, phone number, address, dog's name. It will be a great help if your dog is lost or loses his or her way to its new home. It is quite visible that it is a must have for every dog owner.
{Dog crate and dog bed}
Have you decided on the sleeping place for your new friend? Do you want him or her to sleep with you? If yes then you probably won't need either a dog crate or a bed. But in case you want a separate place for your dog then you might invest in either a dog crate or a bed depending on what you want or your budget and living space.
{Soft toys}
This can be both a must have or optional depending on you. If you don't want your dog to attack your dirty laundry then soft toys and chewy are a must have for you. However, if you don't mind that then there is no need for toys.
{Grooming brush and anti ticks powder}
You need to either brush or comb your dog once or twice every week to keep their coats shining and free from ticks or flea. Invest in a good comb or a brush. After a thorough grooming you must powder your friend with anti ticks powder to keep him or her free from ticks and fleas.
1.) Medium tooth Comb
2.) Blunt tipped curved blade scissors
3.) Toothbrush Kit
4.) Puppy Shampoo
5.) Puppy Conditioner / Grooming Spray
6.) Ear Wash solution
7.) Plier-style nail clippers w/nail guard
8.) Blood Stop Powder
9.) Pin or Slicker Brush
{Dog shampoo}
This is optional. However, if you feel that your new friend is been troubled with fleas then you can opt for a good shampoo with an anti flea treatment. If you do decide to wash your dog regularly, ask your vet how often. It will all depend on several factors such as:
1.) Does your dog live indoors or outdoors, and does your dog sleep in your bed?
2.) Breed of Dog
3.) Is anyone in your household allergic to dogs? (More washing required, if so)
4.) What activities does your dog partake in?
5.) Does your dog suffer from itchy skin?
{Puppy pads}
A must for puppies this will come handy while potty training to your new friend.
{Doggy LifeJacket}
It depends on YOUR dog. Most are able to swim perfectly well, however, certain breeds and individual dogs may not be able to keep themselves afloat for whatever reason (be it age, muscle mass, etc.). Invest in buying your dog a lifejacket if that's the case.
{Misc. Items}
--Pooper Scooper & bags
--Nature's Miracle (gallon size) or similar stain/odor neutralizer
-- Bell to hang by back door
Helps with house training, they learn to ring the bell to alert you that they need to go out. Some use large craft bells, some use cow bells (e.g. http://www.bell-outlet.com/cowbellb.htm)
-- Ownership & Training books
Recommendations include: "The Dog Listener", "Puppies for Dummies"
-- Travel Crate for car until puppy is big enough to wear a car harness
-- Bitter Apple (bitter taste deters dogs from biting, licking, and chewing)
-- Love and lots of patience! <3
I hope I helped! I wish you and your new dog the best of luck!
