Quick Question: Which types of equipment can be purchased for Animal Companions?
The Companion in question [in game] is a Bear.
I had a thread with this exact question a couple weeks back.
There is no RAW answer. You need to work with your DM to figure out what he thinks makes sense for a bear to wear.
If this is for PFS you're out of luck and I suggest you play it conservative to avoid the frustration of table variation.

Your question is a little vague. You could purchase a trombone for your bear, or a little French flag to tie to his tail, or you could buy him lots of outfits and hats. You could buy him seventeen bags of caltrops or a bear-fur blanket.
If you mean armor, then there's rules for barding here:

Pretty much anything but weapons and shields.
I have a mounted druid that put potions into a small gourd and had the horse eat the gourd when it was in trouble.
Armor costs twice as much to make, but that's only for the base price , not the cost of enchanting.
Your mount is normally not considered proficient with armor unless you spend feats.
Nonproficient with Armor Worn: A character who wears armor and/or uses a shield with which he is not proficient takes the armor's (and/or shield's) armor check penalty on attack rolls as well as on all Dexterity- and Strength-based ability and skill checks. The penalty for nonproficiency with armor stacks with the penalty for shields.
-You can get around this however by getting your bear masterwork studded leather armor: studded leather is normally a -1 ACP, but masterwork makes it +0.
I did mean Magic items I guess, rings? amulets? headbands?, belts?

Armor: suits of armor.- discussed above
Belts: belts and girdles.- no problem
Body: robes and vestments.- no problem
Chest: mantles, shirts, and vests.- no problem
Eyes: eyes, glasses, and goggles.- might be problematic, at worst it should require a trick
Feet: boots, shoes, and slippers.- dog sleding huskies have booties. Resizing of magic items might not cover it, but if you make it yourself you're probably good to go
Hands: gauntlets and gloves.- same as feets
Head: circlets, crowns, hats, helms, and masks.- no problem
Headband: headbands and phylacteries.- easy as pie.
Neck: amulets, brooches, medallions, necklaces, periapts, and scarabs. Easiest thing on the list.
Ring (up to two): rings.
Shield: shields.- probably a no go.
Shoulders: capes and cloaks.- ooo a horse blanket
Wrist: bracelets and bracers. - easy to secure so they won't come off.
Bears don't really have good ring hands, so I'm not sure if I'd allow that.
Ring (up to two): rings.
Make 'em earrings instead

There's definitely enough finger there to slip a ring on. You could put it around a claw if nothing else.

Linkified and neat!
