Your family is going to be growing by four paws, and you can’t wait to have a furry friend in your life! Having a puppy added to your family means that you will be able to experience a lot of new and wonderful things. However, it also means that you will be responsible for another living thing, and must take the responsibility seriously.

To safely bring home your puppy, you should first let other know that your new addition will likely be nervous about his arrival. He will need some extra space to check things out and to get used to his new surroundings. Offering him this space and time to process everything is one of the first things you can do to respect his needs. In time, you will be able to share more of your life with him, but for now it’s better to keep him from becoming overwhelmed. For additional information, please contact your Racine, WI veterinarian.
