A Brief Guide to Help Your New Pet Feel Right at Home

  • Written by NewsServices.com

Adopting a new pet is an exciting thing for you and your family. Whether you are bringing home a new cat or bringing a puppy into the family, your pet will surely make a great addition to your household and bring with them lots of fun and love.

That being said, many families underestimate just how tough it can be to help a pet adjust to life in a new home. Depending on where they were prior to you adopting them, your household might prove to be a big change that will take some getting used to.

It is important for you to not get frustrated or overwhelmed throughout this transition period. Remember that your pet will take their cues from you and feel more comfortable sooner if you can remain calm and confident. There are also some other things that you should look to do to help your new pet feel right at home.

Here are a few tips that will come in handy if you are planning to bring a new pet home in the near future so that you can all settle into your new life together faster and with as little stress as possible.

Talk to Your Vet

The first thing that you will need to do to ensure that your new pet settles in quickly is to talk to your veterinarian at Easyvet. Your pet might require certain vaccinations or other medical care when you adopt them, and the sooner you get these things taken care of, the better off you will all be.

Furthermore, it isn’t uncommon for pets who have been adopted from shelters to contract viruses like kennel cough. Having your vet aware that you are adopting a new pet will help you get the care that they will need should they start exhibiting symptoms of a virus.

Give Them a Place All Their Own

Walking into a new home can be an overwhelming thing for a pet. Because of this, you will want to make sure that you designate a place that is all their own in your home.

Their first day with you will likely consist of a bit of running around and exploring. Some pets might even find a comfortable hiding place for a little while. However, making a place that is all their own and introducing it to them as their safe space in your home can help them to settle in faster. In addition, they will be able to retreat to their space as and when they feel overwhelmed or in need of comfort.

Set Boundaries

When your pet comes home for the first time, they will do what they can to find comfort and stability. To help them feel such things sooner rather than later, take proactive steps to set boundaries for them right off the bat. This will have the added effect of establishing you as the rule-maker and master in the house.
