Over the holidays many people were lucky enough to receive a new pet. To help with your new pets transition to a new home we asked KIDS 'N' PETS' January Pet Partner, Eastlake Pet Orphanage, to offer some suggestions on how to make the animals new home more welcoming.
They suggest putting an old shirt you have worn into the crate or on the pet bed when the pet goes to bed at night. This gives them something that smells like you for a comfort so they don’t feel alone.
Another suggestion is when going to sleep at night, the pet can be crated in the room with you while you sleep to help them adjust. They recommend crating at night particularly with dogs during the adjustment period as it gives them someplace they feel comfortable and safe they can retreat to when they are feeling insecure.
