Have you recently brought a new dog home? Whether your dog is young or old, there are ways to make him feel comfortable, accepted, loved, and welcome into the home. You can also help build a new relationship with your dog and form a special bond a few steps at a time. First, when you bring your new dog home, try not to overwhelm him with everyone in your family. Introduce him slowly. Show him his food, water, and place where he can sleep. Give him some time to smell things and adjust. Once he’s been in the home a while, start introducing other people and pets. Bring toys to your dog, sit with him while he naps, give him lots of cuddles (unless he doesn’t like it). All of this can help him know you’re going to be right there for him. Click for more tips or call your vet Parkland, FL.
