There\u2019s quite a wide choice of crates such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Metal crates: these tend to be best for puppies as they\u2019re easy to clean, and work well for training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fabric crates: great for travelling as they\u2019re lightweight and portable. Some people like to use them in the car, or train, or even a plane, if your puppy is likely to be joining the jetset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Puppy playpens: super useful at keeping your puppy safe from chewing ALL of the things, and also pooping in hidden places.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/puppy-essentials\/best-puppy-crates\/\">review of our favorite crates<\/a> for you to read, as well as a guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/crate-training\/puppy-crate-training-guide\/\">how to teach your puppy to love their crate<\/a> &#8211; pretty key if you want them to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayla-verschueren-qvbG3-tZnyc-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"puppy sat in puppy crate\" class=\"wp-image-2352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayla-verschueren-qvbG3-tZnyc-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayla-verschueren-qvbG3-tZnyc-unsplash-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayla-verschueren-qvbG3-tZnyc-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayla-verschueren-qvbG3-tZnyc-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayla-verschueren-qvbG3-tZnyc-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayla-verschueren-qvbG3-tZnyc-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@moob?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Ayla Verschueren<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li><h3>Puppy food<\/h3><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember: your puppy needs food and water just as much as they need love and affection\u2026but of course you know your puppy will need food just for them. Bear in mind that they\u2019ll need puppy food specifically; they\u2019ll move on to grown up dog food eventually. We have an article on <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/puppy-nutrition-guide\/\">puppy nutrition<\/a> for you if you want to know more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget about treats!

Whether you opt for ceramic, stainless steel, plastic or the finest china is totally up to you, there\u2019s a lot of choice out there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your puppy should always have access to fresh water too, it\u2019s a basic right, really, and in certain countries the law &#8211; yep! Access to clean drinking water for animals is actually written into some countries Animal Welfare Laws, well you wouldn\u2019t want to have a thirst you can\u2019t quench would you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a \u2018swimmer\u2019 or \u2018bowl tipper\u2019 then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B003FTOCIE\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B003FTOCIE&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=zigzag0c-21&amp;linkId=6013ff798850f62d2d7e36d0c0f9331f\">these road refresher water bowls<\/a> are fab, and they won\u2019t get tipped up easily or spill over.

Here are some more things you need for your puppy when they arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find a good vet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your vet will become a good guide for when all of this starts. They\u2019ll have some reassuring advice for pretty much anything from diarrhea surprises to what may seem like uncontrollable chewing frenzies. Fingers crossed you won\u2019t need them of course, but should anything go wrong, they\u2019ll always be there for you too.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>Pet health insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Insurance. What a terrible word. But it can save you quite a lot of stress in the long run, in case anything should go wrong. There is quite a lot of choice for pet insurance so we recommend you sit down with a nice cuppa and make some notes and compare levels of covers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With puppies, schedules and routines work like magic. A training schedule is one of the most important things you\u2019ll need for your puppy since it will help them get their thinking going and steady and on their way to becoming smart doggies that don\u2019t wee on your hardwood floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/getting-your-puppy\/ideal-puppy-training-routine\/\">Here\u2019s how to get your puppy into a good training schedule<\/a> &#8211; it\u2019ll save you stress and patience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day care\/dog walkers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you happen to be a busy bee, you\u2019ll want to arrange a trusty doggy daycare or dog walker that can look after your puppy when you\u2019re gone. Dogs long for human companionship and can get very upset if they\u2019re alone, especially as young puppies &#8211; which can unfortunately develop into further problems. But don\u2019t worry, going through the home alone training steps in the Zigzag puppy training app, as well as having \u2018puppy pop-ins\u2019 from a pet sitter can fix all of that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it, a good list to answer your rather broad question of: What do you need for a puppy?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope we\u2019ve filled all the gaps for you, but in case we\u2019ve somehow managed to make you feel like you have more questions then when you started looking, we\u2019re more than happy to help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve got an article with a much more <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/getting-your-puppy\/tips-for-new-puppy-owners\/\">extensive list of new puppy owner tips<\/a> if you want to take a look, or you might want to turn to our team of experts in the Zigzag app. They\u2019re like guardian angels. <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/#how-it-works\">Find out more about how it works<\/a> &#8211; it\u2019s not too hard we promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great to hear you\u2019ve got a new puppy!
