It\u2019s such an exciting time and preparation with the right gear is important. The following go-to gear checklist gives 8 essentials that you absolutely should have to get life with your four-legged friend off on the right track:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Crate\/dog bed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Your new puppy will need his own special place. Many pet parents find crate training works well for puppies and, with a big enough crate, can be used as the dog grows. A good-sized crate and\/or a cosy dog bed are must-have essentials for any pup.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Lead, collar and harness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; The options on the market for all three of these items are almost overwhelming. The important thing is to ensure you purchase size-appropriate items. Collars and harnesses will need to be replaced as your puppy grows. Many people prefer to start out with a standard type of lead for training purposes rather than a retractable version.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Waste collection bags<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; These are essential items to take with you on your daily walks.\u00a0 Many now come with convenient dispensers that you attach to the lead so you\u2019ve always got them with you when you take the dog out.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Dog food<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; When there are so many options for dog food available it can be difficult, even with research, to find the best option for your dog. For the best advice on what is appropriate for your dog and your situation, talk to your vet. She can advise you on the best nutritional support for your dog&#8217;s breed and age.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Grooming equipment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; You&#8217;ll be glad of basic grooming supplies (brush, nail clippers, toothbrush) to keep your dog&#8217;s coat free from tangles and to keep his teeth free of decay. It&#8217;s always useful to have dog-friendly shampoo available too to clean up a muddy pup.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Equipment for your car<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; The way you transport your dog in your car needs serious consideration.\u00a0 In the UK, your car insurance can be invalid if your dog is loose in the car.\u00a0 A<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.co.uk\/dog-guard\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travall Guard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> keeps your dog securely positioned at the rear of the vehicle and its vehicle-specific fit ensures there are no annoying rattles and that it stays securely in position. Adding in a Travall Divider and TailGate gives an excellent option to deter an excitable dog from leaping from the boot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Toys<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; These may not seem like a necessity, but trust us, you&#8217;ll be glad of these.\u00a0 Using items such as puzzle toys helps keep a dog\u2019s mind busy and distract him from destructive behaviours.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With just these 8 items on the gear checklist, you&#8217;ll be on the right track in your new dog care role. Wishing you many adventures with the new canine addition to your family!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you thinking about welcoming a puppy into your home this spring?
