What Every Rescue Pet Needs When They First Come Home

Bringing Your New Dog

Adopting a pet is one of the most rewarding things that you can do. Whether you live alone and are adopting a new creature companion, or whether you are adding a pet to your family so your kids can experience the magic of a dog or cat for the first time, this is always going to be an amazing moment.

It is especially important at the moment, with so many people surrendering the animals they adopted during the pandemic. But it is important to remember that, as exciting as this moment is for you, it is going to be overwhelming for your new dog or cat. Here are a few things that you need to give them.

Plenty Of Space

First, you must resist the temptation to crowd your pet when it first gets in the door. They will be entering a completely new environment with new sounds, new smells, and new people. It’s recommended that you keep your cat in one room to start with, and dogs should be shown each room with a short time in each. If they want to hide, or stay in their box, don’t rush them.

Plenty Of Toys and Bedding

There is a chance that your new dog or cat will be coming with a blanket or toy from the shelter for comfort, but it is always a good idea to make sure that you have plenty of new options for them when they arrive. They may not go straight to the bed that you have set up or run straight to all the toys that you have bought them and start playing, but it will help them to see that they are arriving somewhere welcoming with lots of options for them to choose from.

Plenty Of Food That You Have Discussed With Your Vet

When you adopt a pet from a rescue shelter, there is a good chance that the dog or cat may have some pre-existing medical conditions. Regardless of whether they do or not, you should always ask the shelter about what food they have been eating and what you should feed them. That way, you can have their favorite food ready and waiting for them when they first arrive.

Remember that if your dog has a sensitive stomach then dry food may be best, but you can still find a way to add a little tasty treat to their mealtimes. Applaws has created a range of delicious and natural Taste Toppers to add to your dog food. They contain a variety of superfoods, proteins, fruits, and vegetables for a tasty and responsible treat!

Plenty Of Patience And Love

There may be signs of distress from your new pet, especially during the first night. It is not uncommon for a new dog or cat to spend their first couple of nights crying out for comfort, and they may have an accident if they are particularly anxious. It is important that you do not punish or scold your pet for urinating on the floor, for example. Above all, show them as much love as you can. They may not have had much of it before, and you should show them that they are completely safe in their new home.
