Make sure to research different breeds or species to find which one suits you and your lifestyle. You can consider factors like size, energy level, grooming requirements, and temperament.
Make your home pet-proof by removing any hazards such as toxic plants, small objects that could be swallowed, electrical cords and chemicals.
Set a consistent schedule for feeding, bathroom breaks, exercise, and training. It can help pets to feel secure and aids in their training and behaviour.
Schedule a vet visit for a health check, vaccinations and to discuss neutering.
Make sure to make a routine based on your pet's needs, including brushing, bathing, nail trimming and dental care.
Have a pet first-aid kit and know basic first-aid procedures. Keep important documents handy and have a plan beforehand in case of emergencies.
