New pets in the house! The pawrenting journey

Pet heroes are made when the whole pet parenting journey is considered – not simply falling for the cuteness of a new puppy or kitten (although we fully agree – new furry and purry babies are the ultimutt best). Being a pet hero is a 10 – 15-year commitment, but what you get in return is timeless and priceless: an unbreakable bond with your hero pet!

Guidelines, tips and advice

In an effort to suppawt pet people becoming pet heroes, we’ve put together these helpful guides – from adopting your puppy or kitten, to stocking up on puppy and kitten goodies to give them a great start, to making easy and effective introductions between your new pet and your resident pets, to making your home safe for your new pet, and building a relationship between your new pet and your veterinarian.
