Your dog is new to your family and you love being able to spend time with her. You’ve noticed that she is still trying to figure out how she fits into your home and where she should spend her time. How can you help her settle into her new living environment?

Your pet doesn’t know anything about your home until she checks it out for herself. This means that she will need to explore a bit. Guide her to areas you want her to spend time in and encourage her to enjoy these spaces by offering her some of her belongings there. This will entice her to revisit them later when she needs to utilize these items. You can also make an effort to include her in your activities so she will be able to get to know you and the rest of the family. For more information, please contact your local London, ON veterinarian.
