Thanks to the Queen of England and a few charismatic social media personalities, Corgis have gone from lesser-known farm dogs to widely popular family pets in recent years. If you have a Corgi puppy of your own, you’ll need supplies to ensure that they have everything that they need to thrive.

From leashes and food to grooming supplies for tackling their notorious shedding, here are the essential Corgi supplies and products for your new pup.

The 9 Essential Corgi Supplies & Products

Food and Feeding Supplies

1. Puppy Food

Corgis need good nutrition to support their high energy needs as puppies. This breed is also prone to overeating and obesity, which can lead to a few health problems. It’s important to start them off right with nutrient-dense food like Honest Kitchen Whole Food Clusters Chicken and Oat formula. This food uses dehydrated meat, liver, oats, fats, and probiotics cold-pressed into bite-sized clusters and is free of artificial flavors or preservatives, gums, GMOs, carrageenan, and fillers. Once your puppy reaches 1 year of age, you can switch to an adult food.

2. Fresh Food

A healthy diet is essential for canines, and The Farmer’s Dog gives your pet just that. This dog food is made with whole, natural ingredients, like real meat, veggies, and whole grains, so your Corgi gets all the nutrients they require, plus all the taste they crave. The Farmer’s Dog comes with a few meal options and will customize food based on your pup’s individual needs. Once you know what you want, you simply sign up for a subscription and then wait for the food to be delivered to your door each month. No more trips to the store for dog food, and your pet gets wholesome, delicious, and healthy meals? It’s a win-win for all!

2. Food and Water Bowls

Your puppy will need their own food and water bowls. The PetRageous Designs stainless-steel dog bowls are non-skid to prevent messes and spills. With the sturdy steel and plastic design, this bowl is suitable for your outdoor adventures too. The bowls are dishwasher safe, so you can ensure that they’re washed properly after meals.

Treats and Toys Supplies

3. Puppy Treats

Like most dogs, Corgis learn best with positive reinforcement and rewards-based training using delicious treats. Wellness Soft Puppy Bites are small bites that are ideal for training and offer an added dose of nutrition with protein, fruits, and vegetables. The treats have natural sources of DHA and omega 3, as well as no wheat, soy, or grain.

4. Puzzle Toy

Your puppy will do well with a mix of different types of toys, especially if you’re out of the house for long periods during the day. It’s important to choose toys that are strong and durable so your pup doesn’t destroy them. Puzzle toys are ideal for Corgis and help them exercise their brains, so try this maze ball puzzle toy. It holds and dispenses treats as your dog moves it around, helping with engagement and stimulation.

Walking Your Dog Supplies

5. Leather Collar

When it comes to a collar for your puppy, you have virtually limitless options to choose from. Leather is a good choice because it will rip if your pup gets stuck to a fence or furniture. This two-tone leather collar offers a range of colors and stylish, heavy-duty hardware with luxurious sheepskin leather. Plus, it’s adjustable, so it can grow with your pup.

6. Leather Leash

The perfect addition to the two-tone collar, this leash comes in a range of colors and features full-grain leather with brass hardware and braided accents. The leash is available in 4-foot or 6-foot lengths and 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch widths, so you can choose the best option for your needs. Like the collar, this leash has luxurious sheepskin leather for style and durability.

Comfort Supplies

7. Dog Kennel

Crate training is a must for your Corgi puppy. Corgis are intelligent dogs and can get into trouble if they’re not entertained, but a crate keeps them safe when you’re not able to watch them. This Frisco crate comes in medium, which is perfect for your Corgi as both a pup and an adult. It’s easy to take apart for storage or cleaning, complete with snap-shut latches and wing nuts and bolts. The door is wire mesh and uses a spring-loaded latch with ventilation holes to keep the air moving.

8. Dog Mat

Once your puppy is housetrained, you’ll want a dog bed or mat to keep it comfortable inside the crate. This orthopedic dog mat is an ultra-plush option that uses supportive, orthopedic material for the ultimate comfort. The underside has a non-skid surface to prevent sliding on hardwood or tile floors, and it’s made of eco-friendly materials. If your dog does have an accident in the crate, the mat is completely machine washable and dryer safe. You can choose from a variety of colors. If your puppy is still chewing, though, it may be best to wait to avoid the bed getting destroyed.

Grooming Supplies

9. Dog Brush

Corgis have somewhat high-maintenance grooming needs due to their double coat. Like most dogs with a double coat, they shed heavily and are prone to mats, but shaving them disrupts the natural cooling and waterproofing abilities of their coats. You’ll need plenty of grooming supplies to teach your puppy good manners for grooming, such as a shedding brush, a grooming rake, nail clippers, and shampoo. You could also get a toothbrush and toothpaste to teach your pup to tolerate brushing.

10. Shampoo

When bath time rolls around, you want to ensure your Corgi gets a deep clean without worrying their skin will be irritated or dried out by the shampoo you’re using. That’s where Hepper Colloidal Oatmeal Pet Shampoo comes in! Our shampoo guarantees your Corgi will be clean as can be, but thanks to the soothing oatmeal, their skin will stay nice and moisturized. Plus, with all-natural ingredients, you don’t have to worry about things like soaps or sulfates, which can dry out the skin. Our pet shampoo will also leave your pup smelling fantastic with its light aloe and cucumber scent!

11. Wipes

Sometimes, you might not be able to get your Corgi to sit still long enough for a bath, or you may be out adventuring with them, realize they’re a bit stinky, and want to get rid of the odor. What can you do? Instances like these are when pet wipes come in super handy, and Hepper Wash Wipes are perfect for the job. Our extra-thick wipes have wide grooves designed to pick up grime and dirt from your pet’s coat. It will also leave your dog smelling much better! Plus, these wipes contain natural ingredients that are moisturizing and hypoallergenic, so your Corgi’s skin will be left looking and feeling fantastic. Best of all, they come in a container that’s a breeze to throw into a bag, so carrying them with you is easy.
