How to be a great host for a new pet: practical tips and tricks

Make sure your dog’s eye level is free of objects that he can choke on, and use pet barriers when you’re not at home.

Divide responsibilities between family members: for example, who will walk, feed, comb and bathe your puppy daily.

Prepare everything you need for your dog: an identification medallion, a collar, a bed, grooming supplies, toys, aviaries, a leash, and bowls for food and water.

Stock up on quality food so that your pet does not go hungry. The shelter will likely give you a small bag of Hill’s dog food for the first time.

Prepare the four-legged inhabitants of your house to meet a new friend: let them sniff each other’s belongings before they meet in person.

Choose a veterinarian and make an appointment for a routine checkup.

Set a schedule for feeding, sleeping, and walking. And the faster the better.

Start toilet training your dog as soon as possible and train him regularly to prevent any destructive behavior.
