dc.descriptionWhen you have a pet and you are bringing home a new child, via birth, adoption or fostering, there are a lot of factors to consider. The sooner you begin preparing your pet, the better your chances of success will be once the baby or child arrives. You are already preparing your home, scheduling appointments and shopping for supplies but keep in mind that it is also very important to prepare your pet. You may be able to wait until the last minute for some things, like selecting a color for the nursery or even deciding on the baby s name, but you shouldn t wait until the last minute to get your pet ready. Chances are, your pet needs time to adjust. And the longer you wait, the harder it will be for everyone. If you start right away, your chances of a smooth transition and safer interactions are much improved.
