Preparing your home for a new pet:
Before you bring your new pet home, you'll need to do some preparation. First, you'll need to pet-proof your home. This means making sure that all poisonous plants are out of reach, all electrical cords are taped down, and all small spaces are blocked off. You'll also need to think about where your pet will sleep, eat, and go to the bathroom. Once you have everything prepared, you can focus on making your new pet feel comfortable and welcome in their new home. It's important to take time to introduce them to a variety of new things including going outside, meeting other pets (if applicable), eating different foods (if applicable), and exploring the house with you. These early introductions help make it easier for your pet to adjust when they're first brought home because they won't be so scared or nervous.
