When bringing home "Rover" or "Fluffy" for the first time, it's important to keep in mind that anything can happen. Your new pet will need some time to get familiar to its new environment - so be patience for the first few weeks. The period of adjustment is different for every animal.
To help insure the success of this, do some preparation before bringing your new pet home.
Dogs and cats can be your most faithful companions, but they do bring with them responsibilities and obligations that must be considered by anyone thinking about getting one.
When first bringing your new pet home, do all the proper introductions.
Here are some "What to expect" considerations when you bring home your new pet.
Expect - a few mishaps - remember your pet is not perfect - just be forgiving if it goes to the bathroom where it should not
Expect - your pet to have a lack of manners - take it to training classes (dogs) if necessary
Expect - a companion who asks no questions, makes no judgments
Expect - to come home to a presence that is always happy to see you
Expect - a lifetime commitment from your pet - a pet is yours to love and care for from the day he arrives until the day he dies. It is up to you to provide him with a lifetime guarantee.
And most importantly - Expect unconditional love!
