Dog Collars
It's very important that you have a dog collar that fits your dog. You don't want to be walking your dog and him slip out of it, nor do you want the collar to be too tight. The general rule is that the collar be 2 fingers width wider than the dog's neck.
When choosing a dog collar, you can choose from so many different styles and patterns. You'll find nylon and leather, stripes and solids, reflectors and spikes. There are so many basic collars that you can choose from, that the options are near limitless.
The most common collar that I've seen used for APBT's is the typical spike collar. Now for whatever your reason, you may or may not like them. But, there is a wide variety available, ranging from very long spikes, to short studs. Typically spike collars are made of strong leather. The one thing you want to watch out, is purchasing a cheap spike collar... Not cheap in price, but in quality, as the inside of the stud, can irritate your dog's neck. I tried a studded collar on my Pit Bull, and she's still missing hairs and has a little irritation from the inside studs.
Now, that doesn't mean that you can't purchase a cheap collar, but watch the quality. There are many great quality leather spike dog collars on ebay that are pretty cheap.

Dog Shampoo
It's very important that you choose a good dog shampoo to bathe your dog in. There are all natural shampoos which are better for your dog and his skin and coat, but there are also shampoos on the market with tons of chemicals, which can act as irritants to your dog's skin.
When bathing your Pit Bull, you'll want to stick with an all natural dog shampoo so that you can ensure that you're not putting harmful chemicals on his body that he can potentially lick off.
