You thought it through and made careful considerations before deciding to bring home a new member of the family. Adopting a new pet is a heartwarming experience and can come with unexpected transitional behaviors coming from your new pet.
The "3-3-3 Rule" is a helpful guideline. During the first 3 days, your pet may feel overwhelmed and unsure of their new surroundings. It's normal for them to be shy or anxious, so providing a quiet, comfortable space where they can retreat is important.
By 3 weeks, your pet will start to settle in and become more comfortable with their new family and routine. This is a great time to establish a consistent schedule and begin training or reinforcing good behavior.
After 3 months, your pet should feel fully at home and develop a strong bond with you, showing their true personality.
Patience, love, and understanding during these stages will help the entire family create a harmonious environment, the setup for making wonderful memories together.
