Before bringing your pet home, pet-proof your living space by removing hazards (like toxic plants, sharp objects, or choking hazards).
Pets thrive on routine. Set regular times for meals, walks, playtime, and bedtime to provide structure and comfort.
Always make sure your pet has access to clean, fresh water. Dehydration can lead to serious health issues.
Take your pet for regular check-ups to ensure they’re healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations, flea treatments, and parasite prevention.
Brush your pet’s fur regularly to prevent mats and tangles. Bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning should also be part of their grooming routine.
Start training your pet early, whether it’s house training, teaching them basic commands (sit, stay, come), or introducing them to new environments.
Learn which foods are toxic to pets (e.g., chocolate, grapes, onions) and ensure they never have access to them.
