10 Basic and Important things to know before you start adopting a Pet or a Puppy

Puppies may be amusing and rewarding. They also can be a variety of work. If you need to discover ways to bond together along with your new puppy and maintain the animal happily, you may discover ways to offer on your pal and begin training them properly.

Sometimes we really feel that it is good to have a pet or sometimes we love to spend more time with our pet and sometimes we might get busy with work while even not remembering that we have a pet at our home who will sit by the door until we reach to cuddle them. No matter how busy you are…. or what your work is like keep in your mind that you always hold a serious commitment towards your pet.

Have you ever faced difficulty spending time with your pet because of your busy schedules?

Then don't worry you are now reading exactly the right post that how you should plan yourself to treat your pet perfectly.

Let's start...!

Here are some simple and important Tips for any pet owner to take care of your pet from the very first day that your pet is born.

Also, these tips do not only apply to a Dog or a Cat. You can follow the same instruction to ensure any kind of pet you adopt.

1. Visiting the Vet

First thing first. Take your little friend to the nearest Pet health care center and get it vaccinated. The Doctor of your pet will check its health and recommend whatever medication and monthly or periodical vaccinations that it should take.

This is just a common and general tip that any of the pet owners will follow. But the secret here is do not take your pet to different veterinary services unless it is an emergency. Keep one Vet service looking after your pet's health. Make your pet more friendly with them and feel them like its second family.

2. Remember...You should not separate any puppy from its mother before it gets 8-10 weeks

Could you ever imagine how it feels like for a mother to lose her babies even before they open their little eyes? Maybe you might have been halfway there when your baby left you on his very first day for school or when your little daughter gets married and left your house. Do you know, separating a puppy from its mother at an early age could cause its mother anxiety and depression? Please do not ever try to do that if you need your pet to be happy.

3. Internal and External Deworming your pet

Do you know this is an important aspect of basic pet care? Your pet can be easily infected by parasites such as fleas or intestinal worms. Although a small number of parasites may not be a problem, they can cause complications such as anemia in pets. In this situation, your pet can infect other animals and humans too. So, make sure to deworm your pet right at the start and make sure to carry out a deworming every month. Also, you can start your pet's internal deworming from day 15 of his born date, and the external deworming can be started only after the 8th week.

4. Record your pet's vaccine status

Although vaccination for pets is not mandatory in some countries, it is vital to get your pet vaccinated whenever it is necessary. Caution! after the vaccination do not take your pet outside for a walk or play because they can get infected easily. Let them rest for a while. Treat him with recommended fluids and food. Lastly, keep all your pet's vaccine records safely so that you can understand what will be the next one should be.

5. Keep all the accessories and feeding ready for your pet

Don’t forget to make things order to pamper your pet. Here is the essential item list for your new friend.

Food and Water bowls
Bed
Dry, wet, or Homemade food
Collar and Harness
Carrier or Cat seat
Brush
Shampoo
Nail Clipper
Toys

6. Basic training

This is the most interesting part of your pet adoption journey. You should train your pet to be ready to interact with people and other animals. Start teaching your pet about potty training, shake hands or sit, not to jump on people or not to chew anything that is found. Also, it is important to have a professional trainer for your pet but of course, it is not mandatory. As a pet owner, you always can be the trainer for your little pet. So that you don't have to spend more money to hire a trainer from outside.

7. Fulfill your pet's exercise need

Of course, it is very important to keep your pet proactive and healthy. You should devote some hours or a day to play with your pet both indoors and outdoors. For puppies, 2 daily walks of 20-40 hours are recommended. Do not let them overdo any exercise because it may cause joint problems. If it is a bird, you can give its feathers a little exercise daily to fix them properly to set it fly. In fact, remember that they are still growing, and excessive exercise can be harmful to their health.

8. How much attention does your pet need?

This is something that is normally not considered when adopting a pet. Here I would like to recommend starting calculating the number of hours and cost you spend for your pet and then start planning to give optimal conditions for a good life for your pet.

9. Find good friends for your pet

Always let your pet mingle and play with other pets. Your pet will feel free and playful. Moreover, your pet will be active and happy.

10. Decide the best person or a place to leave your pet

Be careful when you keep your pet somewhere else if you are planning to travel far. No matter how close with your friends or relations, make sure that they are pet lovers and willing to take your pet's responsibility first. One small mistake can harm your little friend or make them feel sad.
