Puppy Introductions

You’re so excited about your new puppy that you may expect your current dog to also wholeheartedly welcome a new puppy into their life, but this is often not the case. It’s important for you to set the right expectations and know that it’s completely normal for your dogs to not immediately be friends. Puppies have not yet learnt the social rules of the dog world and may not read and respond to your current dog’s cues properly, which can be a confusing experience for both of them. 

Getting a new puppy as a child is a wonderful and exciting experience! As your kids and your new puppy are all young and learning how to properly interact with each other, it is up to you to set some ground rules for their introduction and future life together

While you might be overjoyed about the prospect of taking your puppy home, your other pets may not share your enthusiasm. You want everyone in the family to love your puppy as much as you, so find out how to introduce them to your cat so they can start off on the right paw together.
