Puppy Care

Getting Ready for Your New Puppy

Proper preparation is the difference between a happy, successful integration and a stressful transition.

Get Ready

Are you planning to bring home a new puppy? Have you given serious thought to what it's going to be like to adjust to having a young canine in your home? When adding a puppy to your family, you have to be prepared for a learning curve and period of adjustment. During this time, you and your new canine companion will grow accustomed to each other. Pets can significantly enrich our lives, but they also come with new responsibilities that every pet owner has to be prepared to accept.

Budget Considerations

Many people underestimate how expensive it can be to provide proper care for puppies and adult dogs. Keep in mind that when you decide to become a dog owner, you are making a commitment to take care of your pet for life. Things to consider before deciding to add a puppy to your household. Do you have room in your budget to pay for the food, veterinary care, and supplies needed to properly care for your new pet? As soon as you bring home your new puppy, you'll need to provide your pet with nutritious food and a safe, comfortable place to sleep. Soon, you'll need to visit the veterinarian for vaccinations, heartworm treatments, and spaying or neutering. Your dog will need ongoing heartworm prevention, annual shots, and proper care for any other health concerns that may arise. Before you decide to bring home a new puppy, be sure you can really afford to be a dog owner. Ensure there is room in your budget for the necessary expenses associated with pet ownership. Providing your canine companion with the best possible treatment and care throughout his or her life is a long-term commitment.

Time Commitment

When you get a new puppy, it's essential to realize that your new pet will need a great deal of time and attention from you and the other members of your household. Unfortunately, many people think they can pick up a new puppy and continue uninterrupted with hectic schedules that keep them away from home for hours on end. This is counterproductive for both the puppy and the owner. It's essential to make plans to avoid leaving your new puppy at home alone for extended periods when you first bring him or her home. Many people find it beneficial to schedule a few whole or partial vacation days when they get a new puppy. This can help the puppy get used to you and adjust to the new surroundings. Spending time with your new puppy can also help you get started with the housebreaking process. This helps keep your furniture and flooring from being chewed to bits by a stressed-out and bored pup.

Are You Ready for a Puppy?

Be sure to think about your lifestyle and living arrangements when deciding about the best type of dog to add to your household. Consider your needs as well as the needs of the animal. For example, if you live in an apartment, be careful to avoid choosing a dog breed that is not suitable for apartment living. If you're prepared to commit the necessary time and money to provide a loving home for a dog, it may be time for you to bring home your new puppy.
