1. Pamper Their Belly and Watch Over Their Health
On the Little Ones' Menu: If this is your first quadruped, don't panic! Whether it's a puppy or a kitten, suitable food is essential. And don't forget visits to the vet! Growth is sacred: it plays a key role in their future health. For food, the "puppy" or "kitten" ranges are your best allies until their 1st birthday. And for gentle transitions, magic formulas like Royal Canin Starter exist!Antiparasitics, Not So Parasite: Health comes through prevention. A visit to the vet for the appropriate vaccines and antiparasitics is a must. Prevention is better than cure, after all!
2. Their Cozy Nest and Their Accessories
A Cozy Corner: A basket, a rug, or even a kennel for outdoor dreamers. For felines, a litter box and perhaps a cat tree to observe their kingdom.Toys to Test… Respect: Ah, new toys… or should I say, new challenges for their teeth! Friendly advice: opt for old blankets at first. And remember, patience is the mother of safety.
Little Extra for Mini Breeds: A training mat or dog litter box can be a real interim solution, especially if going out often is complicated.
3. The ABCs of Education
Cleanliness is in the Pocket: With patience and good treats, learning cleanliness is child's play... or rather puppy's play!Leash Walking: Essential, especially for big explorers. It’s the perfect opportunity to learn good outdoor manners.
Recall, or the Art of Reward: Working on recall can reduce many risks. And yes, even your kitten can learn to come when called!
