Getting a new puppy is one of the most memorable events for a puppy lover.
After all, when you are adopting a furry friend for the entirety of its lifetime, you are excited about the hundreds of new memories that will accompany your new tiny friend into your home.
But here comes the hardest part, you must get the dog to adjust to your home.
How?
There are many sure-sought ways to make that happen smoothly.
Check out the following steps to make your puppy feel like its home.
Give Your Puppy Time and Attention:
All dogs are different and a puppy is going to take its own sweet time to adjust into its new home.
Don’t rush him into adopting his new routine fast.
A puppy will get to know the place first before identifying it as its home. If it seeks you out from time to time, be affectionate and thus try to earn his trust.
Prepare Your Home for the Pup:
The bottom line of getting a puppy to feel comfortable in its new home is to give it the right environment.
Your new tiny friend is an explorer, and extremely curious at that. So chances are it is going to explore its new house using the best of its abilities: its mouth.
New puppies get to know new things through their mouths and will just about chew and tear anything they find!
So be very careful and remove any sharp objects your furry friend may sink its teeth into.
In addition, remove items such as carpets and rugs, etc. A pup will find no better place to do its business other than your carpets and if not checked in time, these could be identified as designated spots to attend nature’s call.
Change in Diet Could Lead to Stomach Issues:
Your new friend won’t be used to the new diet you will be feeding him, simply because you would need the time to get to know how much it eats.
Don’t fret too much if the puppy has an upset stomach initially, as the stress of adjusting to a new home and a new diet would take time.
However, if the pup suffers from routine stomach troubles, make sure you consult a veterinarian and figure out a new diet plan for the puppy.
