Carefully consider whether you can take on the responsibility of pet care before taking on a furry companion, as it is important to make sure that you are properly equipped and have the time, resources, and patience necessary. If your pet is younger or smaller, be aware that they may react more cautiously with strangers and require extra socialization to build trust. Make sure to properly introduce your pet into the family so everyone can form a connection safely—gentle introductions are best when working with older pets as well. Above all else, remember to treat your pet with respect and kindness at all times by providing them with food/water/bedding/veterinary care as needed, making sure not to overindulge them in unhealthy areas. Finally, always make sure that any physical interactions between people are safe for both parties (pets included!) – if unsure of what is appropriate please seek out resources or advice from animal welfare experts.
