If you’re bringing a new dog home, keep these tips in mind to help your new furry family member get settled in.

6 tips for bringing home a new dog

  1. Communicate. Make sure all family members are on board with a new dog. Set up rules and routines for the whole family. 
  2. Supplies. Have all pet supplies ready before you bring your new dog home.
  3. Safety. Pet-proof your home. Remove anything that your dog could damage or that could harm your dog.
