What To Do First When You Adopt a New Dog

Adopting a new dog is an exciting experience, with lots of joy and fun in store. But it also comes with plenty of responsibility. To ensure your new pup has a safe and happy start in their new home, here are some of the things to consider doing first.

Firstly, visit your vet. A vet check-up can help identify any underlying issues and ensure your pup is in the best health. It's also a good opportunity for you to ask and clarify any questions you have.

Secondly, choose a suitable food for your pup and investigate recommended feeding schedules. Dogs need a varied diet so work with your vet to identify their best nutritional needs, and include a natural balanced diet with a portion of wet dog food.

Thirdly, buy all the basic supplies your pup needs. This includes a leash and collar, chew toys, a bed, and food and water bowls. Ensure that you buy products which are the correct size for your pup and can handle the wear and tear of pup life.

Fourthly, it's time to start the obedience training. Start with basic commands such as ‘sit’, ‘down’ and ‘come’. Use positive reinforcement when they do something right, such as praise or treats. This step is essential in helping your pup understand your expectations.

Lastly, make sure your pup gets enough love and attention. Dogs need exercise, socialization, affection, and playtime to stay healthy and happy. Make sure you schedule time each day to give your pup the physical and mental stimulation they need.

Welcoming a new pup into your home is an exciting time and there are lots of preparations to make. Nailing the basics from the start, such as a vet check-up, diet, supplies and obedience training, will set your pup up for a happy and healthy life for years to come.
