Preparation & Patience Are Key

There’s often a transition period for you, your new pet, and other animals living in your home. It can take anywhere from 3 days to 3  months for you and your pet to adapt to each other. Here are some tips  to ensure a smooth transition and a happy homecoming:

Gather the necessities your dog will need

  • Collar
  • ID tag
  • Food and water bowls
  • Dog bed
  • Toys

Plan your Dog’s arrival

Try to arrange the arrival of your new pet for a weekend or when you  can be home for a few days. This will allow the pet to adjust to their new surroundings much faster. Get to know each other and spends some quality time together. Don’t forget your other pets and people in your home, too! It’s often best to keep the new pet in a quiet room the first  several days and away from other pets in the home. Let them get used to  each other’s smell through a door. 

Coming home

Arrived home

For the trip home, confine your pet in a sturdy carrier. Don’t leave them loose in your car, where they may panic and cause an accident, or escape when you open the car door. They are much safer in the carrier until they have reached their new home.

After the ride home, your dog, may be tired from the ordeal and might not be in the mood for fun. To ease the transition, select a quiet room where they can relax and de compress. If necessary, sit on the floor next to them, offer them treats and some light conversation. Let them sniff all your belongings and investigate their new home

Be patient and enjoy your new pet
