Prepare Your Home

Before bringing your pet home, pet-proof your living space by removing hazards (like toxic plants, sharp objects, or choking hazards).

Establish a Routine

Pets thrive on routine. Set regular times for meals, walks, playtime, and bedtime to provide structure and comfort.

Provide Fresh Water

Always make sure your pet has access to clean, fresh water. Dehydration can lead to serious health issues.

Regular Vet Visits

Take your pet for regular check-ups to ensure they’re healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations, flea treatments, and parasite prevention.

Groom Regularly

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.

Train Your Pet Early

Start training your pet early, whether it’s house training, teaching them basic commands (sit, stay, come), or introducing them to new environments.

Avoid Toxic Foods

Learn which foods are toxic to pets (e.g., chocolate, grapes, onions) and ensure they never have access to them.
