Prepare the home

  • Prepare a nice comfy bed for them - if they are used to sleeping in a crate, this would be a good place to start
  • Make sure their bed/crate is in an area where they will not be disturbed and that they also have plenty of water and toys available closeby.
  • Keep to the same feeding times that they had previously
3

Establishing a routine

  • Dogs like a routine, so establish one as soon as you can.
  • Training classes are a great way to help build a bond with your new dog, as you can both learn new things together.

Car travel and their first journey home

If your routine is likely to include a car ride, try to introduce them to your car gradually.  ADAPTIL Transport spray can help support your dog as they learn not to fear a car journey.

 

Helping your adopted dog settle in faster

An ADAPTIL Calm diffuser can help your dog settle into their new home and get used to the different environment, routine and other pets they are now living with. Plug in the diffuser at least 24 hours before your dog comes home.

Alternatively, if your pooch gets a little anxious when out and about, ADAPTIL Calm On-The-Go Collar is an excellent solution to help your dog stay calm wherever they go!

Introducing your newly adopted dog to your cat?

Be assured, not all dogs and cats chase each other like in Tom and Jerry cartoons!  They can live very happily together and often become the best of pals, but it’s best to make introductions slowly and calmly to help each pet to co-exist on their own terms.

Remember that with a lot of patience and love, your newly adopted dog will soon settle into their new home and family.
