Each family member should know where the pet will primarily be. A ‘comfort zone’ where your new pet can retreat if they feel overwhelmed can be helpful.

Dogs: Consider using a crate or playpen for the first few weeks.

Cats: Cats need a quiet, tucked-away space where they can feel secure. A separate room with their litter box, food, and water is a great option.

Proper Feeding

Socialization and Training

Start the process of socialization and training early on. Socialization ensures your new pet is comfortable in various situations and environments.

Health and Wellness

Prevention is key to keeping your pet healthy. This includes regular vet check-ups, vaccinations, and an appropriate exercise and diet regimen.
