1. Getting Purr-fectly Prepared
First things first, ensure you have all the essentials, such as food, toys, grooming tools, and cozy bedding. Set up a chic and comfy space for your pet to call their own. Regular grooming sessions will not only keep your pet looking fabulous but also help them get used to being handled.

2. Health and Tail Wags
Regular vet visits and vaccinations are a must to keep your furry friend in tip-top shape. With Royal Canin’s “Take Your Pet To The Vet” program, you can ensure your pet gets the best medical attention, regular health check-ups, and preventive care. Feed them a balanced diet suitable for their life stage, and don’t forget to stay on top of parasite prevention. Make sure they get plenty of exercise to keep both their body and mind stimulated.
3. Training Fun and Social Sniffs
Early training is key. Use treats and praise to teach basic commands and good behavior, making training sessions a fun part of their routine. Introduce your pet to new sights, sounds, and other animals early on to build their confidence and social skills. Royal Canin’s Educational Hub offers workshops on training and socialization to help you and your pet succeed.
4. Safety First, Adventure Second
Pet-proof your home to ensure their safety, and make sure they can always be identified with collars, tags, and microchips. Create safe zones where your pet can retreat to when they need a little break from all the excitement.
5. Playtime and Cuddles
Engage in fun activities that provide both stimulation and exercise. Offer a variety of toys and brain games to keep your pet’s mind sharp. Most importantly, spend quality time with your pet every day, showering them with affection and engaging in their favorite activities.
